Pursey got to take her first trip to Canada to see Kristin who hosted an over the top and totally awesome pot luck dinner party. No Kids Allowed! Pursey ate, drank, got silly with the guests and even helped serve the drool-inspiring food. For details read How To Raise Money And Have Fun At The Same Time. For Lori’s version of the story go to Pursey Galore and the Retail Cat Fight.

Megan has been quite the purse hog and has now had the bag not one but two times! First, she took the purse with her to Bloggy Boot Camp in Philadelphia. You can find Megan’s story of her excursion with the purse here: Pursey Galore Loves the Night Life and to read the Lori-esque fictionalized story, see Pursey Galore and the Philadelphia Spy. Since they have been together again, Megan has taken Pursey more places than can be listed here, so to read some of the stories of their adventures read: My Purse Brings All The Boys To The Yard and work your way forward from there. You won’t regret it! Also, check out Lori’s version: Pursey Galore and the Retail Cat Fight

The Empress (as she has so appropriately deemed herself) had quite a hard time keeping Pursey under control during her stay with the Empire. The hormonal purse kinda sorta went and got herself knocked up by the tall, dark and leathery laptop bag that belongs to the Emperor. We are assuming that he is taking care of his fatherly duties and appropriately looking after “Purseylette” while her mother fulfills her duties with Project Purse and Boots. Alexandra, a storytelling genius gives us the whole scoop of how Pursey fell in love on Pursey Galore, or Love With a Proper Stranger. It’s a letter to “Mama Lori” which she has officially answered here: Pursey Galore and the Delicate Condition.

With Gigi, Pursey went to her third Bloggy Boot Camp in Austin, TX. She had tons of fun meeting some new people and also getting to see some bloggers she met at the first and second trips to BBC. Gigi’s post was a priceless poem set to that Alan Sherman classic, “Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah.” Lori’s answer to her fantastic jingle can be found here- An Ode to Gigi

Natalie had every intention of taking Pursey to Palm Springs or Vegas, but both sets of plans fell through. Even so, in true Natalie fashion, she put on her game face and showed the purse a fantastic time anyway. Pursey got to experience the glitz and glamor of a life with twin girls and a toddler boy. What could be more exciting than that? Read Natalie’s story here: Pursey Galore’s Un-Adventurous Weekend and for Lori’s version check out Pursey Galore and The Riviera Fantasy

Sharyn took the purse to it’s first sporting event, an Oakland A’s v. Los Angeles Angels weekend event over Labor Day. Lori tells the story of what very well could have happened in Pursey Galore and the Deep Fly Ball

Poppy and a few of her friends took the purse for a night on the town full of bar hopping, money raising and double entendre. Sidenote- From what can be gathered, the morning-after activities included chickens. Whatever happened it was newsworthy because Poppy, Pursey and their entourage ended up being featured in the Vancouver Voice. Read Poppy’s post on the event here: That Pursey Galore is Such a Tease. For Lori’s “made for TV version” of the shenanigans in Vancouver check out Poppy and the Paparazzi
