The NEW Facebook: A Test Drive

jamie-test-drive.gifSo, I was out at the bar with some coworkers last week, and a guy started talking about “The New Facebook.”

“There’s a ‘new’ Facebook?” I asked.

“Yeah,” he replied. “Is it bad that I want to go home right now just to try it out?”

“Definitely,” I responded. “Stay here and get drunk. New Facebook will be waiting when the bar closes.”

There have been many times I’ve rifled through my bag at 3 a.m., scrambling to find my keys in the pitch black, so I could quickly pass out in a drunken stupor, and grabbed a pair of sunglasses instead. Needless to say, I wake up the next morning outside on the stoop when that happens.

The new spring C.L.I.C.K bag (each letter represents each item mentioned above) from Moe is here to save us from our bag-hassle blues, and add some style, too!  Read More »
