Man (Purse) On The Street - Jannik
;)
Jannik With Leather Accordian Gusseted Shoulder Bag
Name: Jannik
Age: 19
Astrological Sign: "The fish?" (Pisces)
What he calls his man purse: A Shoulder Bag
I chased Jannik for half a block in silver platform dancing shoes (it was the morning after I had crashed at M's place after T's wedding) after M spotted him on our way to brunch. I had just missed my opportunity to approach a very frat-ish "Marina" guy with a standard messenger bag, so I was not about to let this one go. He was very pleasant, though he seemed a bit confused (though not alarmed) when I introduced myself. It could just be because I was so nervous to approach my first interviewee, or maybe it was just because he's from Denmark. Either way, he agreed to let me take his photo and interview him.
Ready to find out what he's got in his "shoulder bag"? Me too--I pretty much forgot most of the questions I had planned, but it seems that Jannik is a very bookish sort of guy, as he told me he mostly carried books by Cormac McCarthy
When I asked young Jannik if he had anything to say to the readers of WhatsInYourManPurse.com, he humored me with the statement--"Listen to sixties music!" Considering we were standing on Haight Street in San Francisco, it seemed an appropriate enough thing to say.

Jannik was so adorable. I could not have matched him with a more perfect man purse than the one he was carrying...it suited him so well!
He's cute!
I am going to listen to some 60s music now. Thank you Jannik.
Well, if you are chasing down guys with man purses, I guess I will have to stop wearing mine. I would be embarrassed to have to tell you what is in it.
Dan,
You wouldn't have to show us what's in it - that's entirely optional. Young Jannik actually never showed us the contents, he just told us. I suppose you could always just make it up. But now I'm really intrigued about what IS in your man purse! Why don't you submit profile and you can tell us what you want us to think is in it?
That's no purse. It's a powerful man bag.
Interesting phenomenon I see - the murse-carrying lesbian... Is it still a murse? Because it looks like a murse. Iit's way too rugged to be seen as a typical purse. Yet it's not the super-butch lesbians that seem to carry these murse-like bags. It's the middle-of-the-road "chapstick lesbians" as Ellen referred to them. Something to think about, although it may be beyond your scope...
