Shoulda, Coulda, Prada

Prada finally gives us our own luxury line of bags

Fruit Flies, Fairy Queens, and the less poetic-sounding Fag Hags can rejoice – your gays might stop playing with or borrowing your lavish bags. The 2009 Prada collection of men’s bags are the closest the modern fashion world has come yet to giving us boys a homosatchel that can compete.

Those moments when our girlfriends might have caught us giving their Prada clutch an envious eye before clutching it closer to their bodies are history. Thanks to the line’s luxe crème-colored men’s tote, it’s our eyes that will be on any bitch within a three feet buffer zone of the bag.

Those times when the more adventurous of us gays asked to see how our girlfriend’s Prada carry-all rests by our hips might be but distant memories; we now have our own posh navy carry-all, complete with mahogany-colored leather straps and accents.

With magnificent blues, dreamy crèmes and dark browns, each pansexual offering from this men’s collection is cohesive and in subtle conversation with one another. Though some of the items might be a stretch for even Ryan Seacrest and more appropriate for a handsome drag queen, the collection’s masculine embellishments and princely tones make it a slippery slope for anyone who desires a little more from their messenger fag-bags.

The price-tag, like most masculine-to-feminine transitions, might be untimely, but we think it’s worth it to finally stop fumbling around our fag hag’s purses, only to end up touching things we wished we hadn’t.
