[Suzyedkateflat] decrees that that is sooooooooooo '94.

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 8 January 2003 14:30 (twenty-two years ago)

― gareth (gareth), Wednesday, 8 January 2003 14:31 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't like these bags a whole lot. maybe I feel the same way about [suzyedkateflat].

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 8 January 2003 14:31 (twenty-two years ago)

OOOOOOOOOOOOOH!

― [suzyedkateflat] (dali), Wednesday, 8 January 2003 14:33 (twenty-two years ago)

― gollum (starry), Wednesday, 8 January 2003 14:34 (twenty-two years ago)

Is mid-late '90s the new cool? Gareth's lusting after ties and 'retro' airport bags has me confused...What's [suzyedkateflat]?

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 9 January 2003 08:50 (twenty-two years ago)

The man has 6 pairs of golas already.

― Ed (dali), Thursday, 9 January 2003 09:05 (twenty-two years ago)

GET WITH THE 21ST CENTURY ALREADY, OLD MAN.

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 9 January 2003 09:20 (twenty-two years ago)

― gareth (gareth), Thursday, 9 January 2003 10:38 (twenty-two years ago)

― zemko (bob), Thursday, 9 January 2003 12:22 (twenty-two years ago)

'82 = superman t-shirt and furry anorak.

― jel -- (jel), Thursday, 9 January 2003 12:24 (twenty-two years ago)

superman shirt = waving from the top of a building before suicide and rain / anthony easton 2003 calendar
70s airport bag = utopian esp if bright orange

therefore i would go for BOTH

― jaunbersin (anthonee), Thursday, 9 January 2003 16:03 (twenty-two years ago)

― gareth (gareth), Thursday, 9 January 2003 16:16 (twenty-two years ago)

― daria g, Thursday, 9 January 2003 22:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Shall I bring you a matching Avion de Papier bag with fake French on it?

― Mary (Mary), Thursday, 9 January 2003 23:19 (twenty-two years ago)

mary, if you dont bring me presents, i will cry, okay?

― gareth (gareth), Friday, 10 January 2003 01:54 (twenty-two years ago)

― Mary (Mary), Friday, 10 January 2003 02:33 (twenty-two years ago)

that smile looks quite sinister, as if i am gleeful at the thought of making gareth cry...

― Mary (Mary), Friday, 10 January 2003 02:44 (twenty-two years ago)

you have admitted it now:(

― gareth (gareth), Friday, 10 January 2003 02:48 (twenty-two years ago)

I lurv these.

I don't know if it would really work, but anyone know if Braniff made these?

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Monday, 20 January 2003 03:37 (twenty-two years ago)

i don't know but i want one

― liz p. (lizjoydiv), Monday, 20 January 2003 09:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Does Gareth have one yet?

― jel -- (jel), Monday, 20 January 2003 10:25 (twenty-two years ago)

He is still without...Do you have any extra one Jel? Thanks again for the CD comp by the way...I miss London ILx!

― Mary (Mary), Monday, 20 January 2003 23:01 (twenty-two years ago)

would you say these are much better if they feature the logo of a no-longer-existing airline?

― Amateurist (amateurist), Monday, 20 January 2003 23:04 (twenty-two years ago)

If they are in a new Spielberg film, is there not a risk of loads of people having them, and making Gareth seem ordinary (as if that were possible)?

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Tuesday, 21 January 2003 18:08 (twenty-two years ago)

I think he should carry the Lonsdale bag like a young Japanese boy...

― Mary (Mary), Tuesday, 21 January 2003 20:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Why do all American international airlines go bust?

― N. (nickdastoor), Wednesday, 22 January 2003 12:57 (twenty-two years ago)

why not?

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 22 January 2003 12:59 (twenty-two years ago)

two weeks pass...

Saw today: Gola airline bag style -- chocolate brown with light brown trim -- a man should always match his bag to his shoes.

― Mary (Mary), Saturday, 8 February 2003 05:57 (twenty-two years ago)

delta airlines-U.S. airways-pan american airlines-trans world airlines

northwest airlines-united airlines-continental airlines-american airlines

― RJG (RJG), Sunday, 9 February 2003 15:20 (twenty-two years ago)

where was the bag mary?

― gareth (gareth), Sunday, 9 February 2003 15:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Alphabets on Ave. A; surely you don't want it though (?) Gareth is truly unaccomadated man: sans bag, sans tie, sans all.

― Mary (Mary), Monday, 10 February 2003 04:03 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh man. My mom was a flight attendant ("stewardess" being the preferred mysogynist fuckwit term) for Braniff from '69 to '81. She still has her silk Halston uniforms, Hartmann luggage and various pens/stationery/stemware/broaches, etc knicknacks. I told her all this stuff was fetching HI BIDS on Ebay but she wants to keep it.

― Aaron A., Monday, 10 February 2003 04:10 (twenty-two years ago)

my grandmother used to have a BOAC (british overseas airline company?) bag -- i think she got it sometime in the seventies, when she went to visit family in the UK.

― Tad (llamasfur), Monday, 10 February 2003 04:13 (twenty-two years ago)

it sounds perfect for me mary. describe it for me in more detail please!

― gareth (gareth), Monday, 10 February 2003 06:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Really: I thought it was pretty hot...but didn't know if you wanted to go out on the Gola tip. Gareth = walking Gola endorsement (?) It is beautiful -- supple brown pleather with contrasting lighter tan trim... vertical, nice size, long straps, they also have one in blue... It is $$$ so I assume it is good.

― Mary (Mary), Thursday, 13 February 2003 09:41 (twenty-two years ago)

There are like hundreds of these at every thrift store I've ever been to.

― Kris (aqueduct), Thursday, 13 February 2003 16:38 (twenty-two years ago)

hmm im not so keen on those gola bags.

there are many in thrift stores thats correct, but they're always a bit skanky, and not quite right for me

― gareth (gareth), Thursday, 13 February 2003 16:39 (twenty-two years ago)

gareth is soo hard to please:(

― Mary (Mary), Thursday, 13 February 2003 23:10 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes, VERY skanky is more your style, gareth.

― rosemary (rosemary), Friday, 14 February 2003 04:00 (twenty-two years ago)
