They're SO BIZARRE but great! I'm sure some fashion forward or vintage loving person out there somewhere would love to give it new life! My only caveat is that any of the, uh, appendages (tail/leg/etc) have snapped off since it was a new item back in the day, that takes the value down considerably.

The aligator has seen better days, but Miss Lizard is immaculate. You see, 20 years ago these things were NOT cool and could be had for a dime a dozen. I had three little boys and I'd dress up in heels, homemade dresses and jangling bakelite and prance around the junk stores with them in tow. Those dumb boys of mine thought I was a model or something.

I think it was worse than any of these! But the one you described, Van Halen tapes and all, does seem to toe that same line of "awesome/totally creepy". Maybe that's the kind I saw in that vintage store all those years ago? The size/shape seems more conducive to purse-making.

I knew a girl in high school that carried an armadillo bag. It was an entire taxidermy armadillo with it's body hollowed out and a hinged top that closed. It was super macabre to me. A little armadillo with a handle on it's back. I'm sure it never could have imagined that it would spend it's afterlife with a torso full of lip gloss, tampons and kleenex. And Van Halen tapes since this was the 80's.Eartha Kitschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08189308677139650882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1978925481748522797.post-34850629207729386232012-06-18T09:15:11.421-05:002012-06-18T09:15:11.421-05:00i got one at a thrift store when i was 14 and used...i got one at a thrift store when i was 14 and used it all the time. i have no idea what happened to it but i wish i still had it!!hhihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07173458260414752159noreply@blogger.com
