Let's play a game

Like any other bag hoarder on a tight budget, I loooooove trawling through the web looking for bargains. The Husband swears he'll go Greece on me someday! Until then, my favourite haunts are the Facebook pages of Glampot and Scoop. (And of course Reebonz! Their prices are da bomb so if you aren't already a member, please do sign up with them! Berjimat sambil berbelanja orang tua-tua kata...) 

Ok, back to those FB pages. I love how organized Glampot is, suiting the borderline-OCD-wannabe in me. All their bags are presented according to their brands, expediting potential purchases and the obvious onslaught of salivating and hyperventilating.

I didn't really get the same thrill from Scoop's FB page. Well, not initially anyway. Scoop would bundle and publish available bags, irrespective of make/designer in one single album according to the running month, i.e. May 2012, April 2012, March 2012, etc. Drove me bonkers... until one day I started guessing the bags - designer, style, etc. and began feeling smug when I got them right. (Bagaholic lah katakan...)

Let me explain. 

When you open the albums in Scoop, partial images of the bags are displayed per Exhibits 1-3 below. You only get to see the full image by clicking on the picture. And that's how I began "playing the game".

Exhibit 2

Exhibit 3

Totally frivolous? Yes. Highly addictive? Getting there - for me at least. A waste of braincells? Totally not - I see it as mental exercise... "I so know that shape!", "Oh! THAT hardware." "Oooh oooh the leather!"...

You have to agree there's potential for an iPhone game or apps in the making, right? It could have different levels, i.e. Level 1: Brand/designer association; Level 2: Material/hardware/finishing distinction; Level 3: Seasonal colour identification... You get my drift. What do you think? It's got potential right? Or is there already a game/apps available that I don't know off? Enlighten me!

Hugs and kisses,
