What Glorious Items Might Fabio Hold Captive?

Amazing - it's a tie! We could not decide whether Fabio would carry the very ruggedly chic Ellington bag, or the Tiger bag... Personally, I'm surprised no one chose the first bag which looked perfect for romantic picnics and beach getaways.

Like Hannah Montana, he's got the best of both worlds. Anyhow, assuming that Fabio might carry both of those bags (let's imagine that he carries the Ellington bag during the day, and the tiger bag at night,) what glorious items might Fabio hold captive?

I'm going to give three for now…

1. 'Yo Mama' jokes specifically written for George Clooney -- just in case.  If he can write a romance novel, why can't he write a Yo Mama joke?  Except they probably wouldn't be very good.  They'd probably start like this - "You're Mama is such a classy lady..."
2. Membership card to the Audubon Society.  It's one thing to get egg on your face, but to have the whole bird?
3. Spare shirts to replace any that are ripped to shreds by his fans, or his muscles.
4. ???

So what's the fourth item???  Well, my friends, that is up to you!  Leave a comment with what you think the fourth item might be, but include your email address in the appropriate field (it won't be published.)  Please I own the black one. Husband has the brown one. Which one will you choose?do not do more than 4 items (there's no minimum.)  I'll review them over the next week, and I'll announce the winning 4th item.  The winner then will receive instructions for how to receive their PRIZE.

Yes, I said PRIZE!  Since this is the first contest on this blog, it's going to be special - your very own WhatsInYourManPurse t-shirt!  Have you checked out the Merch page?  Do it.  Then decide which t-shirt you want to win.

Rules & Tips:

• Do not submit more than 4 items
• Keep content PG-13, PG if you're able
• Keep it lighthearted - no hatin'!
• Deadline is Wednesday, May 27th - 11:59 PMClose up of the logo

So yeah, keep it light-hearted.  I'd like to keep the tone of this blog playful, but still somewhat respectful.  I mean, I may meet Fabio one day and have to look him in the eye.  I'd hate to be embarassed by anything I published here.  I'd like to keep the tone even more respectful for the amazing and fashionable real-life men who have agreed to be shown on this website.  It's just polite!

Ok, so yeah, the contest begins... NOW!

(Good luck!)

Well, I won't post guesses since it'd be unfair for me to pilfer merch from our own house. But I *will* point out that Fabio kept that goose! No kidding!

"The bird was stuffed and sold on eBay. Half of the proceeds went to Fabio's foundation for children, The Model Child, which helps children throughout Southern California. The other half went to the National Audubon Society."

How come *that* didn't get buzzed up at the time?! Poor, poor Fabio. And his poor, poor oiled chest and muscles...

1. a copy of Hearts Aflame, it was the book cover that started it all after all *http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/images/n17/n87512.jpg)

2. a boom box to play romantic music anywhere he goes (plus we all know how much fabio loves a good sound system)

3. a mini fan for when the wind isn't naturally blowing his hair around

4. healthy planet vitamins, to help revalitze your inner youthful core (http://www.healthyplanetvitamins.com/)

Here's what I believe to be in his man purse...
1. The complete line of Vidal Sassoon hair products...he has to keep his hair beautifully soft no matter what his local may be.
2. A lock of his own hair. With hair like that, why would you want to carry anyone else's?
3. A photo album, containing pictures of none other than the famous Fabio.
4. A tub of "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!" Who couldn't use a tub of that in their purse? Seriously?

1) Two Goblets for Wine
2) Oil ( for sheer showing off-ness, or for massage)
3) Some exotic fruit ( well packed for freshness and greek god/goddess feeding)
4) A dictionary ( I feel like he likes to be educated and resourceful)

On #4, also for lyricism and looking for new "romantic" sayings and words

A toothbrush, bikini, and ticket to a tropical island for his special lady.

[What's In Your Man Purse?]

M - Fabio has a bikini? I hope he knows what size I wear. :) hahaha

[Tikisquid]

I am going to have to say that item #4 is a midget hairstylist who sports a gold brush in one hand and a mini-wind machine in the other for that glamourous, hair in wind look anywhere he goes, even indoors.

Oooo, good suggestions, guys. Here are my submissions. The fourth item in Fabio's man purse is either:

A. An autographed DVD boxset of Acapulco H.E.A.T. that he gives out to people who stop him on the street and say, "Hey, aren't you the guy from Acapulco H.E.A.T. ?" To date, only one noble soul has recognized him from that short-lived syndicated show, and one day I will auction the boxset for a great sum of money.

B. An all-purpose loincloth/towel. He keeps them handy for spontaneous photo shoots and beach excursions. A towel is, after all, the most massively useful thing an interstellar supermodel can have. Partly it has great practical value. You can wrap it around you for warmth as you wait for a photog to reload so he can shoot you bounding across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it with your romance-novel heroine on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or avoid the camera of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (such a mind-boggingly stupid paparazzo, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you)...

C. An iPod loaded with 8 gigabytes of nothing but different versions of Jill Sobule's 1995 single "I Kissed a Girl", in which our intrepid hero plays a major cameo

D. A "What's in your Man Purse?" hoodie

The fourth item in his manpurse is a fantasy costume collection that are conveniently vacuum packed into 3 by 3 cubes for easy transportation. You know what I'm talking about, right? Those shrink-wrapped cubes you toss into water and watch them slowly soak up water and enlarge into giant beach towels and what not? So, Fabio's fantasy costume collection will include full outfits for a viking, a pirate, a native american, a knight, and other characters from his romance novel line. Yes, his costume would be wet when he changes into them, but hey, the ladies definitely would not mind that! Right?
