How much do you pay for dry cleaning?
Okay, thanks for the input...and I guess I should correct myself...I think fragile was the wrong word to use, more like they are delicate, like with the cotton voile I read you may have drama with shrinkage.

40's compact/carry all purses
Ooooh yes please, do share! I actually saw something similar on ebay last week - but rather than it being of soft material, it was a box purse made out of lucite.

Second Life
I had a traumatizing experience when I tried second life...it started off well: flying around Paris and all.
