Only in West Hollywood: Optometrist Edition

pradabag3-21.jpg

I do not own anything made by Prada, not that I don't think it is a fine brand worthy of many patrons. Perhaps I am too cheap or have no sense of style (probably both), but neither would explain why I have this Prada bag. Well, it came from my optometrist, La Optometrique in West Hollywood. I can only imagine why they have extra Prada bags lying around, but I was lucky enough to walk away with one compliments of my purchase of four boxes of Acuvue Advance.

I guess I shouldn't complain about getting my lenses in a Prada bag, but it was clearly the smallest Prada bag ever, and therefore would not impress anybody should I be seen carrying it around. Taking one look at it, people might assume I walked into Prada and bought a postcard, just so I could be seen with a fancy bag.

When I was in Spain years ago the women there used Zara bags as their purses. It was hilarious, especially since it's hardly the most prestigious of stores.

Dude. It's paper. I think you should use it as your new wallet. That'd be the funniest thing that happened in Hollywood since some dude got eaten by a venus fly futon.

Well, that sure is more prestigious than the plastic Walmart bag I got when I bought my contacts.

I say you acquired a nice mini-manpurse there. Lug it around with you everywhere until the edges are frayed. And then keep it in your closet so you can tell everyone "I have a Prada bag".

You know you enjoyed walking around all day with a prada bag - and you know you kept it!

Your optometrist has an even hoity-toityer name than mine. I go to L'Optique in Dallas. She has her own fancy bags, though.

How often to you get new contacts? I'm dying to know what kind of bag you'll get next time. Please keep us apprised of any new bag developments.

Didn't you say you were at the dentist today? Did he give you any cool swag?

This reminds me of spending my first paycheck that I ever earned when I was 14. I went into Tiffany's and bought the cheapest thing they had just so I could carry the pretty blue bag around.

My optometrist didn't even fit my glasses for me and you get a Prada bag?

Nashville sucks.
