I sa Alastair Campbell interviewed recently. I warmed to him when he said, "Why can't women have POCKETS?"
We do have pockets but they do not perform any function. In fact pockets are a liability for a girl.
If they are side entry on the hip they are unflattering.
If they sit on the breasts they just look ridiculous (I am referring to the pockets)
If they use buttons they always friggin pop off and then you lose one button and you haven't got another one to match and so the whole garment has to be thrown away
If they use zips then you catch your nails on them and causes them to snag.
If they use poppers (not the drug related kind) then you often press down too hard and hurt yourself - although admitedly great for removing easily.
If we actually put anything in them they bulge and look unattractive - bear in mind we go into meltdown over a VPL.
Therefore large suitcase = peace of mind. I am sure you would never begrudge us that now eh!
