Show Us Your Purse

• Who? Christine Cochrane, pianist at Pete's Dueling Piano Bar at Town Square

• Location: Pete's Dueling Piano Bar

• Handbag: D&G knockoff

• Are handbags status symbols? Heck yeah! Form over function, my bag over your bag. If handbags weren't status symbols Paris Hilton would "just" be an heiress and men would rule the world.

• What does this bag say about you? If my bag could speak, it would probably say, "Her scent is of lilac and honey and she has great taste in granite, but that's based purely on her armpit and kitchen counter, which is where I spend the majority of my time."

• If someone fond your bag and looked inside, what would they think of you? They would think, "This girl has a lot of interests -- or is completely scattered."

• What's the most important item you've ever carried in your bag? My dog, when she was a puppy. She's 50 pounds now, so she has to walk.

• What's the strangest? In-N-Out Burgers. I was sneaking them into a theater. Please don't tell anyone.

• Tell us about the first special bag you owned. Ziploc. It was 1984. It's not the bag; it's what's inside that makes it special.

• Knockoffs: Love 'em or hate 'em? Both. Love 'em for the options and price. Hate 'em for not being original.

• Image is ... Why I'm now living in Las Vegas and working at Pete's Dueling Piano Bar at Town Square!

• What's in your bag? 1. Microwaveable popcorn, 2. Tennis ball, 3. Song lyrics, 4. Business cards, 5. Workout gloves, 6. Math puzzle book.
