Five sneaky winners of the bpb & BagSutra Contest -Week Three are:

S.M: This was a dare thrown at me many years ago in Bangalore: My first job as a junior copywriter, and i was taken drinking by a bunch of office peeps- they dared me to whack a souvenir from the pub and i lifted the emptied beer pitcher we'd been going at (praise be to big bags!). My bag stank of beer for some days after and i've lost it since, but i still have the pitcher and it totally comes in handy when friends come over :)

C.F: The sneakiest thing I've carried in my hand bag was a bunch of different salamis, pastramis, and other cold cuts for my boyfriend who was stuck in a very strictly vegetarian hospital (you might guess which one if you're from mumbai) and was craving them :-)

Five sneaky winners of the bpb & BagSutra Contest -Week Two are:

U.P:  The sneakiest thing I've ever carried in my handbag is chocolate flavoured edible underwear. For a friend's hen night in London, a bunch of us decided to get her to do kinky things. She was presented the underwear and asked to wear it for the rest of the evening!

Z.I: The sneakiest (and most definately the cutest) thing ive carried in my bag is a my friend's labrador puppy. i thought i could manage to hide him at my place for a day without no one knowing, so he went in my bag (and i secretly hoped he wouldnt pee on my stuff!) the plan didnt last long...but nevertheless the sight of that cutie snuggling up in my bag is something i will never forget.

The first five sneaky winners of the Bagsutra and bpb contest are:

D.S: The sneakiest thing I've carried in my bag is: 50 thongs! So my friend in Bangalore needed funky return-gifts for (her own) bridal shower.
She couldn't find anything exciting in the IT city. I stepped up to help... you get the picture! ;)

O.J: My then boyfriend's underwear. Okay, clarification time. It wasn't his underwear yet. I was to present it to him as a surprise, first having plastered it suggestively with lipstick marks. So there I am, coolly strutting with a red lip-marked white pair of briefs in my purple crochet bag when I get caught in the rush of an approaching train. Down goes the bag, out pops the underwear and a bunch of eunuchs standing annoyingly close at hand have a field day announcing the unusual contents of my handbag. Nothing else I ever carry, ammunition included, will have quite the same eye-popping effect. Never said I had a dull life!
