Via a post at Daddy Types (“The Weblog for New Dads”), we learn of a diaper-bag alternative for men that continues the whole War on Baby Poop theme Diaper Dude advances so effectively.
It’s not a man purse. It’s not a diaper bag. It’s (military drum roll, please) . . . the Baby Bandolier! Kinda like [...]

Yes, this is a diaper bag for men. Designed to combat post-fatherhood emasculation fears, it’s constructed of camouflage nylon and — if that’s not enough to ward off evil feminizing spirits — embroidered with a dragon emblem. Grrraaarrrrr!
Two-year-old Diaper Dude is leading a direct assault on the conventional image of diaper bags, and by our [...]

Today we have one more seemingly futile attempt to capture the ineffable qualities of the man purse toted by the new surgically and sartorially enhanced Ken doll. Barbie’s ex is back, and he’s wielding a . . . purse. But which one?
Might it be the Anders Tote, by Medium? There’s a good chance stylist Phillip [...]

Another partial match for Ken’s man purse: The Transit Messenger bag by Solis.
If you imagine for a moment that the doll’s sorta-floppy satchel might not be leather or even a cheap leather lookalike, there’s not too many reasons it couldn’t be this. Well, yeah, except for that unknown scribbly design thingy on the long flap [...]

We figured the Ken-doll wannabes in our audience might be eager to learn exactly what man-purse model Barbie’s once and future boytoy was sporting in last week’s makeover extravaganza. And we’d love to identify it for you — if we could find it.
Careful scrutiny of the photographic evidence reveals a slightly floppy, leatherish, tall bag [...]

This week’s big man-purse news, of course, is the reintroduction of Mattel’s Ken doll — tan, rested, and ready after a two-year break from Barbie, his longtime girlfriend. The new Ken has two outfits: One is a beach getup that will be available in stores soon. But the other, featured more prominently in the rush [...]

An alternate strategy for being able to bring things you want with you into a sporting event, dance club, airplane, museum — really, any place that won’t let you waltz in toting an extra bag of booty — is a purse so form-fitting that it appears to be a part of your outfit.
Yes, it’s a [...]

We realize the Satchel Pages come to this story a little late in the game, but we thought that last night’s State of the Union speech made today as good a day as any to revisit the famous Tom Bihn “We are sorry that our president is an idiot” labels.
Why? Because what’s been [...]

So you’ve tasted the forbidden pleasure of carrying a laptop bag without a laptop inside. But the weight of these occasional indiscretions is beginning to bear heavily on your conscience. What if someone discovers your secret?
There’s no need to panic. You need to transfer that uncertainty you’re feeling onto other people. Make them wonder, and [...]

We thought we had covered the Chewbacca man-purse controversy rather thoroughly earlier, but we apparently failed to include any chewy insights from a true expert on the subject. That expert would be Glenn Mendler, who refers to himself as the Joseph Campbell chair of Mythology at Lucas College and the author of Chewbacca’s Purse: Androgyny [...]
