There are Two Types of People in this world.  Yes, only two.  Stop trying to be all diverse and whatnot. 

There are 1)  Shoe People and there are 2) Handbag People. 

Don't try to argue with me.  It doesn't matter if you have both shoes, and handbags. 

If there arose a "Deal or No Deal" choice, and you absolutely had to pick EITHER shoes OR handbags, there would be a clear division of the Two Types of People.

I am a Shoe People.  This may come as a surprise to, well, probably no one.  I love me some shoes.  I love looking at shoes, buying shoes, talking about shoes, photographing shoes - shall I go on?  No?  You get it, okay. 

What you may not know, is that my shoes can totally beat up your handbag. 

Handbag?  Pfft.  I don' need no stinkin' handbag.  I have pockets.  And hands.  And friends with handbags, for my very bulky items, like that ridiculous case for my Ralph Lauren sunglasses, that could be mistaken for an armored truck.

The handbag can just be so cumbersome!  You arrive at the restaurant/bar for a snack & drink, and then what?  Where does that behemoth go?  On the back of the chair, where the waiter continually jostles it/spills drinks on it/knocks it to the ground?  Under the table?  Not near my shoes, it doesn't.

The shoes are absolutely necessary for protecting your feet from concrete, bad weather, broken glass, and just general evil.

My shoes?  Some are heavy, some are clompy, some are spiky, but all are 100% fierce.

If it ever came down to a cagematch, a la Mad Max & Thunderdome, you'd better watch your back.
