And at Marie Claire this month, they're asking what's your purse-onality? Geddit? Purse? Personality? Crazy kids! Anyway, they're all pretty much Bagzillas, totally organised, no snot-covered year old tissues, roving unwrapped tampons or fluff-encrusted candy for this bunch. Not really unexpected for the average socially aspirational MC reader.

But I really do draw the line at 'The Minimalist' - 26-year-old actress Marybeth. In her spacious bag, she carries a wallet, a phone, a metrocard and a lip-gloss.Seriously. That's it. Does that not frighten you just a little? A talking head therapist tells MC that this means Marybeth is "confident in herself and in the world around her."

Yeah. But hey boys, don't ever tell her you're leaving her for another woman, because she has a very big knife and she NEEDS TO BE IN CONTROL OF THE SITUATION.
