HELLO!?!? What if you're in a car accident?

Ever seen the t-shirt I'm wearing no socks and... oh, nevermind. :p

Good call on Steve's quote!

I thought about camo for the guys but then I figured I wouldn't be able to find it if I put it down so I'm thinking hunter orange.

I've always been taught to wear clean underwear, but underwear that matches your outfit? We men sure have life simpler. :p

Well if you are going to go thru the trouble of making sure they are clean, you might as well make sure the match.

I have just one answer - I DON'T KNOW. It's a compulsion.:aureola:

If this matching the bag to the outfit catches on, my vote would be for a nice clear bag!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup: Jeff

Talk about bringing a thread back, Jeff :wink:

I actually prefer a soft sided cooler bag.
It doesn't advertise,"HERE'S MY CAMERA!"
Can find various sizes, they usually have extra pockets, and I can make my own dividers.'

I looked at some of the ones that are available now for the ladies and surprised they didn't have ones with pretty flowers or butterflies.

They don't look like camera bags, so theoretically they are less likely to be stolen - right up until you someone watches you pull a camera out or put one in anyway. They look like they are leather though, that probably makes them heavier...

as for an equivalent mens bag, I thought that was crumpler...

I think I would like to see clear camera bags because if they are supposed to match the clothing that would mean the clothes would be see through also. I think this would be good for the security of the camera equipment because it may not be noticed at all with the female owner dressed in clear clothes to match the bag. This has the potential to lower camera thefts, Jeff

Good thinking, Jeff! Then they wouldn't have to through the pat downs at airports, either.

I must confess that I never thought of you as a dirty ol' man before.
