Comedian Anita Renfroe, who made an Internet splash with “William Tell Momsense,” a song about motherhood, is now a special “Good Morning America” contributor addressing issues important to all women — like hair, handbags, and all things girly.
Clutch, hand bag or purse — whatever the name of your all-inclusive accessory, it can say a lot about you. Whether you love those over-the-shoulder boulder holders or tiny totes are your thing, your pocketbook is telling the world more than you realize.
There are at least four purse analogies.
More Is More Better
This lady is the one who never really got over carrying the diaper bag and still wishes she had something that large. She normally has like a full snack bar and a working pharmacy down in her bag and is prepared for every situation in life.
- The upside: Should you ever find yourself in jail, she’ll be the only one in your group of friends with a MacGyver 7-in-1 tool to bust you out.
Basic Tiny Toter
This girl can get the whole contents of her day into seven square inches. I don’t really understand this woman, but you can bet if she can do this that she’s got some control issues.
She probably pays her bills ahead of time and has her sheets tucked in real tight on the corners of her bed.
- The upside: Should you ever find yourselves in jail, she’ll be the only one with the unlimited AMEX who can bail you out.
Serial Monogamist
She gets one purse and sticks with it for 12 years. She’s the kind of person for whom you occasionally have to do what we call “a purse intervention.” Now she’s also loyal and if she’ll stay with this purse for 12 years she’ll hang with you.
- The upside: Should you ever find yourself in jail, she’s the only one in your group of friends who’ll be out on the sidewalk holding a candlelight vigil with a sign that says, “My friend is innocent.”
Purse Schizophrenic
This woman changes her purses more often than she changes her underwear. Sometimes she doesn’t know how she’s going to feel after lunch so she’ll occasionally carry a purse inside of her purse just in case her mood changes.
- The upside: If you find yourself in jail, she’s normally the reason why you’re there, BUT she’s also the one who’ll sit right there with you in that jail cell saying, “Isn’t that the best fun we ever had honey?”



That lady just cracks me up. Too funny. I would say im a Serial Monogamist, I can never seem to find a purse I like, and so i tend to stick with the one that I have. Works for me.
Posted on March 17th, 2008 at 3:42 pmLOL… I think I’m a mix of two of them. I don’t need to carry much (but I don’t tuck the corners of my sheets in) and I carry the same purse most of the time. I switch to a black purse from time to time… Hmmmm… wonder what she’d say about me!
Posted on March 18th, 2008 at 9:00 amI think I’m a Serial Monogamist as well! Particularly since investing in my Coach bag last year! And Carey, I absolutely adore Anita Renfro. She is hilarious!
Posted on March 20th, 2008 at 3:47 pmhmmm, I recently moved my pocketbook contents to the diaper bag, while I’m not particularly fond of this carry method, it is easier right now. I have about 20 pocketbooks in my closet, but I tend to carry ‘the basic’ (either all black or all brown to coordinate) one all the time. Although, I am currently bidding on the ‘cousin’ to your bag on ebay! *Say a prayer for me that I’ll win it!*
