Alexander McQueen's $630 dinosaur egg

To be fair, I actually kind of like this. I picked up on it from Kristopher Dukes, and it's what she's hating right now -- I hope she doesn't bitch slap me.

But, the truth is, it looks kind of like a highly polished rock, or dinosaur egg or something. Or maybe a paperweight, or one of those decorative air fresheners that sends out a lovely "puff" of flowers or sunshine or rainbows or something every few minutes.

However, it is in fact a clutch, designed by Alexander McQueen. Practical, it certainly is not, but it would be a great conversation starter at a party. However, I'm not sure I'm willing to spend $630 on a conversation starter -- I've got less expensive party tricks in my other expensive bags to serve that purpose.

Clutch or Dinosaur Egg?
