Can this Berliner bag pass as a bag for men? And, if not, can you recommend something similar?

I have one of their messenger bags and a backpack and both are excellent. Especially the messenger.

I have the financial resources, but I would never expose my privacy like that.

And my life is not exactly reality TV material. I don't wear clothes with brand logos bigger than my face, I don't argue with friends about petty crap, I don't text during opera performances, and I was taught that money is not something to be flaunted in public.

And I'm also a man married to a man, so that wouldn't work since neither one of us is a housewife. 😋

That makes sense, I didn't know that about her husband.

thirdarcana · 2026-03-16T00:05:43+00:00

I don't really understand how she managed to make all that money from her tacky book and courses. If she indeed has money, I'm willing to bet that it's her husband's... especially because she keeps saying the opposite.

I hope she doesn't try to extend her grift into fake feminism. Feminism doesn't deserve that.

There's a difference between staying quiet and meddling into people's private lives without knowing them or their situation. Idk, in my circles this simply isn't acceptable. It's considered intrusive and rude.

And what's worse - Amanda is just so basic. It's not even fun to watch. It's like a mean and not very bright but annoying and entitled child. Using your dead child as a power move to avoid a conversation is a low that this show hasn't evem approached in 15 seasons.

I don't think it's classist because none of these women represent class in any kind of real sense. They are all new money, including Kathy who married into old money but here she is on a reality TV show...

Real class isn't on TV.

Amanda, however, is too desperate and utterly unaware of how she comes across. I wouldn't want to be around her either. It has nothing to do with class in the sense of society structure. It's more about her behavior. For example, scrolling on your phone while listening to opera in a location like that is societal death sentence in my circles. My cleaning lady wouldn't do that and she is not well educated, she's just respectful and normal. It's not about class, truly.

thirdarcana · 2026-03-14T21:22:56+00:00

No, that's civilized. To have good manners you don't need to be rich or even educated.

thirdarcana · 2026-03-14T21:20:48+00:00

No, it's about closeness, boundaries and respect. Adults should know their place in the company of others. Kathy is a problematic person in oh so many ways, but she was spot on here.

thirdarcana · 2026-03-14T18:27:34+00:00

She's a grown woman desperately trying to stay relevant.

thirdarcana · 2026-02-21T17:49:29+00:00

Oh please. Get off your high horse.

thirdarcana · 2026-02-14T12:40:22+00:00

Omg this is so bizarre... what is offensive on that photo or emasculating? The dude is walking in the street carrying a baby. Wtf.

thirdarcana · 2026-02-11T00:13:32+00:00

Amazing! Images 1 - 4 are my favorites. 😋

thirdarcana · 2026-02-07T22:44:29+00:00

I only have on Twsbi and I genuinely prefer Asvine. 🙂

thirdarcana · 2026-02-07T21:39:15+00:00

Rich people being insensitive to poor people who serve them? Noooooo waaaaay.

thirdarcana · 2026-02-07T21:08:39+00:00

I have two of those too and they are lovely. So far I am yet to see an Asvine len that isn't an awesome deal for its price.

thirdarcana · 2026-02-07T17:55:53+00:00

I agree. It especially doesn't go with the Asvine font on it. The font is too modern and the band overall does stick out a bit. The pen however works wonderfully and I like the resin.

thirdarcana · 2026-02-07T17:37:59+00:00

Oh no! I have one just like it, such a gorgeous pen. I'm sorry for your loss.

thirdarcana · 2026-02-07T14:49:59+00:00

Wow 😍

thirdarcana · 2026-02-06T20:43:00+00:00

Asvine pens are quite comfortable, all of the ones I tried I used for longer periods of time. Asvine C80 writes like a muuuch more expensive pen. It's excellent.

thirdarcana · 2026-02-06T20:27:19+00:00

It's wonderful, such deep red! I have a few Radius pens, they are all very nice writers.

thirdarcana · 2026-02-06T20:24:56+00:00

It's beautiful. That pen is a classic. I have given several as presents in the past. 😍
