Tech Day
We have so much great info and pictures to bring you from our trip to NYC, but today may not be the day. While it is unfortunate, the outcome will be great for all of you (especially the forum regulars) because we are moving to a new server company and will have a bigger set up! For you techies out there, the new set up involves 8 servers to help power the Purse Blog and Purse Forum, so keep down time to a minimum and let you all enjoy the site at all times. No more down time!! So hang in there today, as we are moving all of our data to the new servers. We will open the forum back up later when the move is finished and we will bring you great information from our trip to New York in the coming weeks (like pictures of what is inside my Hermes boxes!!!)
- by Megs on 11.5.2007 in General.

ok, thanks for the explanation!
11.5.2007 - 11:19 am
thanks for the info…can’t wait for the purse forum to be up again & YAY to the new improved server =D!
11.5.2007 - 11:41 am
I suppose it’s good tpf is down for a bit… I really need to catch up with some work and the downtime won’t distract me! Although since im in the UK it’s like 4pm here and I wanna go on it!!!!! wah! lol
11.5.2007 - 12:19 pm
This upgrade was long overdue! tPF was running slowly during busy times of the day and we needed these upgrades badly. Hang in there, it’ll be worth the wait!
11.5.2007 - 12:22 pm
I am missing you guys!!! Who knew what an important part of my day the PF is!!! See you later today! Can not wait!
11.5.2007 - 12:22 pm
Well, if there was ever any doubt, the past 15 hours (and counting) have sealed it: I’m totally and completely addicted to tPF and in major withdrawal. Boo hoo! Besides that, I’m DYING to see what’s in that big ORANGE box, Megs!!!
11.5.2007 - 12:27 pm
AUGH! I am dying here at work! tPF has become such a huge part of my day. Sad, but true. I’m glad you guys are upgrading, though, keep up the hard work!
11.5.2007 - 12:27 pm
I am going through DTs right now…anyone got a Martini? I’m missing it so badly….but am looking forward to improvements!!! 8 servers? WOW!!! The Purse Forum has grown
11.5.2007 - 12:30 pm
I had noticed it running slowly at times,but this stop is killing me!!Never realised how much I lean on this site everyday for a form of company! I miss you! Still,i’ve got loads of housework done and re-organized my wardrobe ready for autumn and winter so the downtime has been a good thing, and I will appreciate it so much more when its up and running again! Good luck with the installataions,hope its not giving you too many headaches!!XXXXXXXXXXXX
11.5.2007 - 12:31 pm
Cannot wait to be on tPF AFTER the upgrades—that is great news-8 servers?!? Sounds impressive though not a techie!
Megs, I cannot wait to hear more about the trip to NYC and to see what GORGEOUS treasures are inside your orange boxes…! Any hints????
11.5.2007 - 12:32 pm
Just seeing the familiar names on here makes me feel a little better!!! (hugs twiggers)
Sad bunch we are….
Catch up on some of Megs GREAT blogs…it eases the pain.
11.5.2007 - 12:33 pm
Hey all!
Apparently I am really addicted to the forum and is good to know I am not the only one! Just a quick question:On what times zone does Vlad’s message refer to ? Afternoon hours European time?
11.5.2007 - 12:38 pm
Love the prospect of faster, bigger, better tPF..didn’t realize how many times a day I look in on everyone and feel cheered up..I work alone in the studio over 8 hours a day, so it is almost as if you all drop by to say “Hi”..hurry back tPF
11.5.2007 - 12:40 pm
It’s driving me nuts, too…can’t stand not being able to keep up to date on a certain thread that has me hooked (some of you may know what I’m talking about!!)
But I know it’s all for a good purpose…and I’m impressed at how seriously you guys take this site. I hope that you are reaping rewards from the popularity of the site.
11.5.2007 - 12:41 pm
My bf thinks i’m crazy for checking the purseforum every hour only to curse when I see it’s down. Now I realize how dependent I am on it . . .
And you’re such a tease!
We’re better see what’s in that box as soon as we go live.
11.5.2007 - 12:41 pm
Wow!!! I am really missing my pf friends right now!!
11.5.2007 - 12:42 pm
Hey Alaska,
I am mentally attempting the treadmill for a few weeks now. LOL.Good luck. Maybe you should start a thread on the forum and convince the rest of us to join.
11.5.2007 - 12:43 pm
oops, should have said Quilter, my tPF name ..sorry!
11.5.2007 - 12:43 pm
I was wondering what is going on! I am going through withdrawal…HELP! LOL! I’m glad it’s only because the site is improving! Keep up the good work guys!! TTYS!
I can’t wait to see inside the Hermes Boxes!
11.5.2007 - 12:44 pm
I soooooo need to authenticate right now! There’s a great deal that I don’t want to miss out on. Wow. TPF is an addiction and a wealth of information. Ah, well. I won’t make a move on the bag until the server stuff is done and I can hash it out with my tPF pals.
Peace,
Nyckei
11.5.2007 - 12:46 pm
I am missing all my TPF friends on this Monday morning.
11.5.2007 - 12:48 pm
You all are cracking me up!!! Granted, I did not think it would take this long either, so I keep logging on to see for myself how far along Vlad and the techs have come. They are vigorously working away, and it should be up this afternoon, US EST.
Exciting though!! Miss you all!! and the weather sucks here so I can’t take pics outside, will need to do my reveal indoors!!
11.5.2007 - 12:48 pm
What do you bet this comments section is going to grow into the thousands before tPF is back online?
11.5.2007 - 12:53 pm
I cannot wait to see the forum after the new upgrades!!! It’s going to be the best!!! I really am dying here, but it is definitely going to be worth it!!! Can’t wait to see all you guys again!!!!
11.5.2007 - 12:53 pm
tpf really is addictive LOL…i’m refreshing my browser quite frequently to see if tpf is running again.
megs: can’t wait to see what’s inside all those h-boxes…esp. the large one
11.5.2007 - 12:54 pm
Twiggers, amuse us with some LV Commentary.
11.5.2007 - 12:57 pm
hi mas2388
11.5.2007 - 12:57 pm
This is a super super site, no more fear buying a LV etc, the advice is amazing, and the people are so helpful, just a few hours of site down and miss it already lol,loopy x
11.5.2007 - 12:58 pm
Vlad told me that this would reach into the hundreds of comments!! I would love to see us hit over 1000
11.5.2007 - 12:59 pm
^^^you and me both maria28!!! LOL!!!
11.5.2007 - 12:59 pm
I never realized how addicted I am to tpf…I’ll be glad when it’s back! Also, can’t wait to see what’s in those beautiful orange boxes!
11.5.2007 - 12:59 pm
Well, I’m up for the challenge!
11.5.2007 - 1:01 pm
Ahaha, I think I know what you’re talking about there Fiat!
I came back from the gym expecting the site to be up and running.. I know it’s for a good cause, but I missed the forum so much, ugh!
I hope and hope it’s nearly done..
11.5.2007 - 1:03 pm
Awww so many familiar names…are we the true addicts because we commented on this thread? LOL
LV commentary…LOL….we could hash out the merits of those joke bags….rumor has it they are going to be the IT bag in the spring..ACK…the jokes are funny, but I don’t know about on a bag! My friend once came up to me when I was carrying my cerises speedy and said ‘Oh wow…I’ve never seen fruit on a bag before’ LOL
I’m actually working right now…freaking amazing! OH and I got my SPICE GIRL tickets this morning WOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DH wants to kill me for spending $300 on some washed up girls from Europe and claims he will be the only man in the building LOL
11.5.2007 - 1:05 pm
Well we need to review the Joke Bags- joke or not, people want to know about them!!!!!
And spice girls, LOVE that!!!! HA
11.5.2007 - 1:06 pm
LMAO! Watch us bog down the Purse Blog site with our thousands of comments here since we can’t post in tPF!
*eats popcorn*
11.5.2007 - 1:07 pm
Ok really, this was all a ploy to drive us nuts waiting to find out what is inside that big orange box that Megs brought back from NYC! C’mon Megs, throw us a bone and give us a little hint! PUHLEEEEZE! Seriously going through withdraw right now.
11.5.2007 - 1:08 pm
HAHA!! I know which one you mean Fiatflux!!
I’m off to wkout…ck back in laters!!
Thx Vlad & Megs for everything!!!!!!!!!!!
11.5.2007 - 1:08 pm
I got a package from my RAOK buddy this morning and I want to post pics!
I miss everyone dearly but I DID get quite a bit of homework done last night since tPF was down!
See you all in a bit! Can’t wait for tPF to be up and running again : )
11.5.2007 - 1:11 pm
I miss TFP!!!! ahhhhhhhhhh, and the LV phone lines are down, 1866 vuitton isnt working and my local store number is out of order, that combined with the PF being down freaked me out, lol. Ok im in bed sick
with no pf, this sucks. Miss you guys!!!!!!!! hurry vlad hurry lol.
11.5.2007 - 1:13 pm
So… afternoon, US EST time means that I will be sleeping when is back on ! This is so frustrating! Here now is 7 o’clock at night!
11.5.2007 - 1:15 pm
Hi, I am so missing the site guys!! After months of waiting for a kelly bag, one has come in, I have now decided to get a birkin, so I need to put it out there to the London/UK members to see if someone else wants it before it gets resold!!!!xxx
I really hope it is GMT time!!! Actually its not going to be, its 17.15pm here in the UK!!!!
Cannot wait for the site to be ready!!!x
11.5.2007 - 1:16 pm
I finally took pictures of my outlet purchases so I can’t wait to post them later.
I miss the forum but it sounds like the changes you are making are great.
Thanks for your hard work keeping us all happy.
11.5.2007 - 1:17 pm
Oh boy. I can’t wait until its back up! On the bright side I guess I can get a few other things done now. LOL.
Talk to you guys soon!
11.5.2007 - 1:18 pm
I can’t stand it! I have been checking since yesterday….and checking, and checking, and checking.
Can’t wait much longer. Hurry up! LOL
11.5.2007 - 1:19 pm
Ok I will reveal a little bit of info…!!! since you all have found your way here.
Some people thought I have a Kelly in that big box, but it is not a Kelly
11.5.2007 - 1:20 pm
I need my fix of TPF!! just a little! I swear I will pay up later! just one little sniff .. ahh ..
11.5.2007 - 1:20 pm
8 servers! I can’t believe it takes so many!! I just know that the Purse Forum has become much more than just a place about purses…it’s a lifeline for many of us!!
11.5.2007 - 1:22 pm
It is my lifeline too!! Trust me!!!!
11.5.2007 - 1:23 pm
So funny that we all ‘meet up’ here to make up for our missed PF time
Nice to know we all miss tpf greatly together!
11.5.2007 - 1:25 pm
Megs has a birkin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
11.5.2007 - 1:25 pm
A birkin Megs???? That would be awesome! I don’t even frequent the Hermes section (DH would definetly divorce me) but I’ll be heading there today to see your pics (unless you post in GD)!
BTW those joke bags….apparently Marc Jacobs has some of Prince’s paintings with the jokes on them in his Paris apartment (caught one of them in a spread in W this month)!
11.5.2007 - 1:26 pm
Gosh! I was totally shocked to see the PF down, it was the first time in more than 1 year of membership! This shows me it’s totally addictive!!!
Can’t wait to see you online soon!!!
Hugs and can’t wait for the orange boxes to reveal too eheheh!!
Alice
11.5.2007 - 1:26 pm
Ack! I’m going nuts here. Thanks for the updates though Vlad. It’s at least nice to see a different message every so often of the upgrades status. I’ll miss all of you guys!! Can’t wait to see the New York pics Megs & Vlad!!!
Cheryl
luvpurses24
11.5.2007 - 1:27 pm
Ok, I know this is a secret plot between Vlad and my DH, so I will finally finish a project or two that never seem to get done…I hope he paid you well…lol…I already have two boxes of stuff ready for a charity pick up tomorrow morning…ok back to cleaning…
Really, thanks Vlad for your hard work making the site better for us. Megs can’t wait to see what you got.
Peace, Love and Happiness, Tink
11.5.2007 - 1:28 pm
I def have my dream bag, fate was just working in my favor like you wouldn’t believe!!!! I want to take pics, but you know Vlad (aka the part time photog) is anal about lighting and angles etc etc!! I can’t wait to show you all my goodies though!
11.5.2007 - 1:29 pm
I’m missing everyone…OMG Megs could it be a Birkin??!!
11.5.2007 - 1:32 pm
I am in the IT field so I totally understand the situation. Upgrade is always for the better. Eight servers?! That is so impressive! Thank you and Megs’s dedication and efforts. Cannot wait to see the PF back up and your NYC photos.
11.5.2007 - 1:34 pm
A Birkin ??? Congrats Megs !!
What color ??? Leather ??? Size ???
Pleaaaaase give us at least another little clue ???
11.5.2007 - 1:37 pm
Oh Megs I can’t WAIT to see your H goodies! My first H bag is on its way and I’m spazzing out, I’m so excited! Do I smell a Birkin in that big orange box o’yourn?
11.5.2007 - 1:37 pm
OK, I thought that by the time I made it to work this morning (Pacific Time) that tPF would be up and running again … I will have to wait with bated breath a little longer!
11.5.2007 - 1:37 pm
Not sure anyone cares…but Saks just put up their Preview Sale online (30-40% off today and tomorrow)
11.5.2007 - 1:38 pm
HURRYYYYYY UPPPPPPPPPPPP!
11.5.2007 - 1:40 pm
ACK — I guess I’ll get some work done this morning!
I’ve been lurking in Hermes and was SO looking forward to Megs reveal this morning. Give us more hints!!
11.5.2007 - 1:43 pm
hi everyone!
i feel lost without my daily dose (or 3) of TPF. cant wait for the new faster site.
vlad, you know this is just feeding our habit even more
11.5.2007 - 1:45 pm
im so addicted to tpf that i ended up researching another handbag forum, found a couple, but boy was i surprised!!! they actually were talking about where to buy replica designer handbags?!?! i was like “where the heck did i end up in!?!?!” hurry back TPF!! im missing you already……………….hehehehheheehhee
11.5.2007 - 1:48 pm
Vlad…did you know that because of this downtime I was forced to sit here and read empirical journals all morning (which are not really the most exciting things to read)…and am continuing to do so LOL How dare I get work done! If it doesn’t come up soon I am going to have to start running some really awful statistical models ACK!
11.5.2007 - 1:49 pm
SERIOUSLY…it is very boring at work now. I’ve only been on tPF for less than a week and I already forgot what life was like without it at work! It’s rather like being in the Army. Was I ever not? I can’t remember anymore!!!
I MISS EVERYONE!!!! WAHHHH!!!
11.5.2007 - 1:50 pm
It’s almost 7pm here !!!
So maybe I won’t see TPF before tomorrow !
1 Day without TPF looks like rehab
And I say NO NO NO
11.5.2007 - 1:50 pm
Okay, I can manage no PF for 1 day, but the boxes, THE BOXES, I can’t wait for what’s inside the boxes! (Megs has a Birkin! YAY!)
11.5.2007 - 1:51 pm
i cant breath !!! i hope PF will back in action realllll soooon !!!
11.5.2007 - 1:55 pm
Mmmmmm…if it’s your dream bag it’s a 35 cm birkin, either gold or blue jean, palladium HW…hehehehehehe!
11.5.2007 - 1:56 pm
Noooo day off work and can’t get on TPF and just to add insult to injury Megs posts pics of a Hermes haul - so unfair.
Thanks for the hard work Vlad, it is appreciated. Congratulations to you both for coming in the top 3 I look forward to hearing about the VIP trip to Vegas.
11.5.2007 - 1:56 pm
Oh Megs, could it be a 30 Birkin?? I know my H box for my 30 is about the same size as the one shown in your pic!! Wh
at color and hardward??? Oh how exciting is this??
It’s hard to not have anywhere to go on the internet when the forum is down
I feel like a cyberspace homeless person 
11.5.2007 - 1:56 pm
i’ve been wanting to read an important PM since 7 am for me and now it’s 9 pm and still didn’t read.. i want tPF BACK! :(:(:(
11.5.2007 - 1:56 pm
Oh Megs, could it be a 30 Birkin?? I know my H box for my 30 is about the same size as the one shown in your pic!! What color and hardward??? Oh how exciting is this!!
It’s hard to not have anywhere to go on the internet when the forum is down
I feel like a cyberspace homeless person 
11.5.2007 - 1:57 pm
I have no life outside of tpf!
11.5.2007 - 1:58 pm
Vlad and Megs I just want to say thank you for being the best!
This is a great community, and I have belonged to a lot. SO THANK YOU!!!! 
11.5.2007 - 1:59 pm
sigh - it is good to know that soon it will be back and better than ever!
11.5.2007 - 2:00 pm
WAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Im going nuts here!!LOL!
11.5.2007 - 2:01 pm
i can’t wait until the forum is back up and running. i’ve been going through withdrawal for the past 12 hours because i can’t log onto the forum. i have no idea what i’m going to do now! lol, it’s amazing how dependent lots of us have become onto this forum.
11.5.2007 - 2:01 pm
megs and vlad, i’m dying from withdrawal! i need to see pics of glorious lv bags and obsess over them!
11.5.2007 - 2:02 pm
I miss tpf!!!!!!!!! I checked last night, wake up midnight, check first thing in the morning and still nothing….huhuhuhu…Thanks for all the upgrades though. I really appreciate it. And congrats to your new bag Megs!
11.5.2007 - 2:02 pm
LOL I can’t believe how much I miss the forum!
11.5.2007 - 2:03 pm
Thanks for the update Vlad-I am almost twitching here from not being able to get on the board. and, it is giving me way too much time to computer window shop-LOL!
11.5.2007 - 2:03 pm
Dream bag…. well then, it must be a 30cm Blue Jean Togo with Palladium hardware (or perhaps another newer style bag wink wink)~ SO JEALUOS!!! But so well deserved Megs! Cannot wait for your big reveal!!!!!!!!
11.5.2007 - 2:04 pm
addicts? what addicts?????
LOL!
Wow, 8 servers! Thanks for letting us know.
It looks like I might actually get some work done around the house today…..shucks!
Missing ‘ya
11.5.2007 - 2:04 pm
I also did not realize how much I’m really on tPF. I’m at work and let me tell you, I’m actually getting my desk cleaned off. LOL
Sunshine - You’re so right! It is almost comforting to see the names that you see on tPF. Thank goodness for this blog. At least I can get a little fix until we’re back up and running.
Megs - I can’t wait to see your new H goodies too.
11.5.2007 - 2:07 pm
If ya’ll knew how much bloody work it is to move a 10,000 lbs gorilla from one zoo to another… NOT fun.
Be patient ladies, working hard!
11.5.2007 - 2:08 pm
I think I am going out for dinner, I cannot do this to myself anymore! Hope when I come back , it will all be normal…like waking up from a really bad dream!
11.5.2007 - 2:10 pm
I just read through all the post looking for my buds-I know-sad-eh? OK-off to do more Sephora shopping!
I have my Yahoo messenger on if anyone wants to chat-Nishi621@yahoo.com on there.
And, Megs-can’t wait to see what you got!
11.5.2007 - 2:19 pm
OMGOSH! I am going through some serious tPF withdrawl, you guys have no idea…okay yes, I think you all do, hehe. I keep checking so often, lol. Ever since yesterday, I’ve felt like a lost puppy without my PF, hehe. I am very glad to hear that there is upgrades in the hardware, that is great!! Thanks for all your hard work!
It is also bugging me so much to see what’s in those Hermès boxes, I am guessing a Birkin since it’s not a Kelly. Another little hint, please?
11.5.2007 - 2:20 pm
Thank God I’m at work. At least I’m not just sitting in front of the computer the whole time praying for tPF to come back. My 4th graders are probably wondering why I’m a little grouchier than usual! LOL!!
11.5.2007 - 2:21 pm
Just want to let you know I miss yawl! I guess I’ll go get a Botox treatment while you guys finish up! lmao…. But I’m serious!
Okay…. Megs… your a tease! I’m not waiting weeks for your reveal! I’m heading to your house!
11.5.2007 - 2:22 pm
hope you’re back by 5pm central so when i get home from school i can get my dose of tPF
11.5.2007 - 2:23 pm
Where’d the party go?
Megs and Vlad, you two rock and thanks so for all your hard work and for this amazing community and forum.
11.5.2007 - 2:24 pm
Ok are tremors normal???
serious withdrawls here
I’ll be going to a firework display soon so that’ll help pass the time thank god!
11.5.2007 - 2:24 pm
Okay, is it nearly done? Seriously on withdrawal here, LOL.. I might have to go have a quick fix somewhere else for the time being!
11.5.2007 - 2:24 pm
ITA!! I’m looking forward to reading you guys again soon! Thank you Vlad and Megs for the hard work!!
11.5.2007 - 2:25 pm
I didn’t have email access all weekend and was looking forward to catching up first thing this morning when I got to work. I keep checking back…I am addicted to TPF and I do have a problem. There- first step down- 8 to go.
11.5.2007 - 2:28 pm
Spread the rumor across internet-land!!! MEGS has a BIRKIN! (right?)
11.5.2007 - 2:29 pm
I have got a date to see Ditabs new Olive Phoebe!!! And every time I check your still not up!!!!!!!!!!(ABOUT EVERY HALF HOUR!!!)WWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
11.5.2007 - 2:29 pm
We are moving forward… slowly but surely!!!
Vlad has to eat now- we will hopefully be back in business soon. Though when I ask him how much longer he says “I don’t know… I have no idea… still a few hours”
He is stressed!!!!
11.5.2007 - 2:30 pm
Another addiction lol!! Can’t wait!!
11.5.2007 - 2:30 pm
I keep checking too…of course, the tpf didn’t go down for maintenance until AFTER I had seen Jill’s new Prada and called to order one for me!!!!!!!!!!
Thank goodness (or maybe not… ;-})
11.5.2007 - 2:30 pm
Since coming to work, I have been checking every hour to see if tpf is up and running… for the past 6 hours!!
Megs, I am so jealous… I can’t wait for the day when I can bring home so many orange boxes in one trip! And Vlad, sorry for all the pressure… keep up the hard work!!! (are you done yet now?!)
11.5.2007 - 2:30 pm
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGSSSSSSSS
have you got a Birkin? Are you holding out on us!!!
11.5.2007 - 2:32 pm
OMG….I am addicted to TPF. I keep try to log in since last night.
I already get my work done last night(which does not usually happened) while waiting the downtime.
LOL My SO was in shock.
After I told him “the TPF is upgrade now, I can’t access”, he realized why I done my work that early. lol
I miss you all.
11.5.2007 - 2:33 pm
Awww poor Vlad!!!! A crapload of women breathing down his neck can’t be fun!
11.5.2007 - 2:33 pm
I also just realized that I have all these bookmarks I never visit…and I’m scrolling around them and they all suck! Even Ebay is boring right now! This is like watching water boil or waiting for the phone to ring!
11.5.2007 - 2:35 pm
OMG! I miss you all so badly!! ((hug, hug, hug!!)) I’m willing to suffer for a little while for a greater community for us all later! See ya’ll later!!
11.5.2007 - 2:39 pm
This is torture….
Thanks Val et al for all your hard work to make TPF bigger and better x
11.5.2007 - 2:42 pm
TPF is awesome…thanks for all of your hard work to make such a great site….cudos!!
11.5.2007 - 2:43 pm
I know the upgrade is needed but the process is long and painful. Once I had to work from 6:00 p.m. till 8:00 a.m. for our server upgrade so I am totally with you. Vlad & Megs, definitely you need to eat and take a rest. We all are patiently waiting…
11.5.2007 - 2:46 pm
Well, I just did something I have not in WEEKS! I read a book for an HOUR AND A HALF!!! Laying in 78 degree weather, working on my winter tan (w/sunscreen ofcourse!) I came running inside to check the status and just as I thought..we would all end up posting here!! There is not stopping us!!! Ok, now I will go exercise and again run back to the computer in a few hours!
11.5.2007 - 2:50 pm
I wonder how many gals are waiting for a FedEx truck today??? Or the truck came and they are dying to share their wonderful bag because their PHH couldn’t give two figs about another stupid purse LOL
11.5.2007 - 2:53 pm
I need my Purse Forum Fix!!!
Thanks for all the hard work though.
But I need my fix!
11.5.2007 - 2:54 pm
Hi

Hi everyone! Yes, I need my fix too! Can’t wait till we’re back up better than ever.
It will be funny to see how many MORE times I try to log on before the forum’s up. I swear I tried a dozen times last night!! lol
11.5.2007 - 2:57 pm
All day without TPF….waaaaaaahhhh! Very excited for the new and improved site, thanks to Vlad for all the hard work. It’s nearly 7pm here, so hopefully it will be up an running soon. Can’t wait to hear what’s in the Hermes box, Megs!
11.5.2007 - 3:03 pm
what to do…what to do
SHOP??!!!
Hurry Girls…SAKS.COM is starting their online sale now…ROFLMAO!
Jill just ordered some killer DIOR shoes..hehehehehe!!!
11.5.2007 - 3:05 pm
whahaa, oh poor you! Have to move all are blabbering, sorry we talk so much haha and created such an enormous gorilla
11.5.2007 - 3:05 pm
Can’t wait for the new site! I am so addicted. Last night I actually had to talk to my DH!! LOL
11.5.2007 - 3:05 pm
Thanks for keeping us abreast of the situation.
I noticed it running a little slower during the day, but hey, it gave me time to fix another cocktail.
I never realized how much tPF is a part of my day….
off to do some real work (ha ha!)
Can’t wait to see the upgrades…
And Vlad, the Hermes boxes in a couple of weeks?
You are seriously killing some people here!
Cheers,
ElizabethK
11.5.2007 - 3:07 pm
Megs…Feed Vlad by IV. This is NOT a good time for Vlad to eat. (j/k, sorta) I’ll bet he is about to fall over from exhaustion.
I’m still LOL at oreocat’s comment about feeling like a cyberspace homeless person. I can soooo agree with that feeling.
11.5.2007 - 3:09 pm
i have so much to do and now that my much-needed source of procrastination isn’t up and running i may actually have to WORK! THE HORROR!!!
11.5.2007 - 3:10 pm
Can’t wait for tPF to come back!
Thanks for all the hard work Vlad!!
11.5.2007 - 3:12 pm
OH my goodness, I have been trying to log on all day!It is now 7pm here and only a few hourse before I am off to bed, boo, no TPF today! Just realised I am totally addicted!
11.5.2007 - 3:14 pm
Thank you Jill! I am heading to Saks now since without PF, I have nothing else to do.
11.5.2007 - 3:15 pm
OMG, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for the update!
And for all your hard, but wonderful work!
I miss TPF so much!
Can’t wait to see the upgrads and the NYC pics!!!
11.5.2007 - 3:15 pm
Oh guys, can’t wait til tPF is finally back online
I’m excited to see what’s in your orange box, Meg. Boy, am I jeaulous *g* …. oh well, will go see what else in going on online now ….. Thanks for all the hard work, Vlad!!!
11.5.2007 - 3:19 pm
Keep checking, still not up. Well, at least I’m getting some work done here
TPF is pretty much the only site I visit these days. I’m sure the wait will be worth it though, can’t wait to see the NYC pics!
11.5.2007 - 3:22 pm
My boss is out today and I was looking forward to catching up on TPF! I guess that’s a sign that I need to work =) Miss ya’ll, thanks for all the hard work on the upgrades. I will be checking hourly, I need to authenticate a Fendi Spy soooooooo bad!!!
11.5.2007 - 3:23 pm
what do gorillas have to do with anything? and really, mentioning their weight? was that needed? are you going to tell us their ages too? sheesh.
oh and thank GOODNESS i know what was in those fabulous boxes or else i would be going nuts like the rest of you! (did i rub that in enough?)
11.5.2007 - 3:25 pm
please hurry! I need a fix! ok i’m officially a JUNKIE!
11.5.2007 - 3:27 pm
guccilove, I was laughing at your post as I did the same thing, checked out another purse forum. Not the same at all!
11.5.2007 - 3:29 pm
Oh! i couldn’t even imagine checking out another purse forum! you Benedict Arnolds you! LMAO!!
Someone give me something great to buy at Sephora-i am itching to get something from them-LOL
11.5.2007 - 3:33 pm
OK…I seriously have worked enough today….I have class in about 15 minutes…maybe it’ll be up when class is over….my luck it’ll come back while I am supposed to be cooking dinner LOL
11.5.2007 - 3:36 pm
Awww it will be bedtime soon… 3 1/2 hours till midnight… I hopeeee to talk to you guys soooon!
11.5.2007 - 3:36 pm
thank you Vlad & Megs for the explanation, and for all your time & effort in upgrading the system!! i’m sure everyone will appreciate it very much. you guys rock!!
like people have said before, i didn’t realize how ADDICTED i was to TPF until now.
like after ~15 hours of not being able to access TPF, i was like OMG, what do I do??? where else will I get my LV fix?! LOL but yeah, i guess it’s good cuz i should be concentrating on work now (it’s Monday).
anyways, thanks again and can’t wait to see pix of what’s inside those Hermes boxes!!
11.5.2007 - 3:37 pm
Aww poor Vlad hopefully he’s not too stressed, but I can’t wait for the forum to be up and running again! I’m dying!!!
11.5.2007 - 3:42 pm
I was so sad yesterday when tPF went down, had been on browsing away, stepped away for a minute, and came back and it was gone. I’d known it was coming, though, so wasn’t surprised. I miss it though, and will be on there this evening when it’s back up!! It is nice to see so many familiar names in the comments here.
Hope the upgrade is going smoothly for all involved. As an only-semi-techie person who gets pulled into coordinating stuff like that, I know there can be some serious nightmares.
11.5.2007 - 3:43 pm
Hope it all goes smoothly Vlad!! Thanks for all the hard work! We all appreciate it!
Megs…can’t WAIT to see what’s in the box!!!!!!!!
11.5.2007 - 3:46 pm
OMG Megs….how exciting….your dream bag…..i can’t wait to see pictures….CONGRATS!!!!!!
I am supposed to be sleeping after working a 12 hour shift but i can’t stand it, i miss the PF too and can’t sleep. I keep checking to see if we are up and running instead of getting a good sleep…lol
Thanks for all of your hard work.
11.5.2007 - 3:50 pm
OMG I’m so addicted !!!! I’m missing Tpf!!!! Megs I can’t wait to see what is in those boxes… let me guess a white birkin ??? HUGS
11.5.2007 - 3:53 pm
Vlad, thanks for the explanation. It makes my withdrawal just a touch easier. Not much, just a touch. I now must face my undone task pile, and concentrate for extended peiods without tPF breaks!!! AARRGH!!
Megs–I just know it’s a Birkin. The size of the box makes me think 30, but since Baggs says you are an amazon, maybe it’s a 35…I don’t think it’s exotic…I’m guessing a neutral shade, not a bright. The box on top must be a cadena for the bag.
11.5.2007 - 3:53 pm
heehee - forget DH….did my boss call you? with all the downtime I actually caught up on all my grading, uploaded the final a month early - wow. This has to stop!
11.5.2007 - 3:53 pm
Hi Girls!
I’m pretty impatient right now cause I’m so addicted to tpf! Girls, I’m not sure if any of you know the website, http://www.efashionhouse.com... is it fake? Let me know! Thanks!!!! I want to buy something from efashionhouse.com or eluxury.com… cause I’m newbie girl!
thanks a lot…
11.5.2007 - 3:54 pm
OMG
I am soooooo going through withdrawals…………..
Thanks for all the hard work you guys do ~ I am sure this is worth the wait!!
11.5.2007 - 3:57 pm
Vlad, please give us a time-frame so I can stop checking every two minutes! “Afternoon” is so vague… it’s like telling a crack-addict that he will get his drugs “soon.” I miss you guys…
11.5.2007 - 3:58 pm
Is it going to be much longer? I need to authenticate several items… Time is running …
Please, get it done asap… I’m going to take to pills…
11.5.2007 - 3:59 pm
We are fed and he is working away!!!!
Now, if only I could make him give over his camera so I can take pics of my bag!!!
11.5.2007 - 4:00 pm
Hi girls. I miss TPF! Just wanted to tell anyone who might be trying to order a RM from the online sample sale…go to their website click on “shop” then you’ll see a Vincent tab. Those are the sale bags. If you send them an email with your phone number they will call you back. Yea!! I tried for HOURS hearing only a busy signal. I’ve got my Christmas shopping done. (ok, it’s just a start…)
11.5.2007 - 4:00 pm
Arrrrgh!! I’m having tpf withdrawal!! I just know that I’m missing fabulous purse buying opportunities.
11.5.2007 - 4:05 pm
is 866 vuitton number down too?
11.5.2007 - 4:12 pm
okay sounds good, can’t wait
11.5.2007 - 4:16 pm
C’mon!! Can anyone please answer my question regarding the legit websites? I’m kinda of hesitate to order something from eluxury.com or efashionhouse.com? Are they authentic or fake? Let me know!
thanks a lot!!!
11.5.2007 - 4:19 pm
Eluxury is ok to order from…Don’t have a clue about efashionhouse.com.
Eluxury is authentic. Hope that helps!
11.5.2007 - 4:22 pm
Anahi, eluxury is authentic. efashionhouse has been questionable in the past.
11.5.2007 - 4:22 pm
Im losing my mind here waiting for tPF to come back … so how much long Megs/Vlad
11.5.2007 - 4:22 pm
I think that this is the first blog that I’ve ever commented on! Maybe it’s because I’m DESPERATE lol and can’t wait to dish it out with my PF ladies again. And like some of us have said, there is a thread that I’m hooked on, and I’m pretty sure that it’s the same one that you’re all hooked on too! ;] Hint hint… it’s in the relationships section. ;D
Thanks so much for everything that you do Vlad and everyone else with the PF staff that I might have forgotten to mention! tPF really makes my day like no other! I miss you guys! Can’t wait to see the new forum upgrade! Until then… HUGS. –//xo;Ace
11.5.2007 - 4:22 pm
VLAD, MEGS! C’mon! When can I uncurl myself from this god-awful FETAL position from underneath my desk????? Bring back tPF before I go into convulsions!!!! *rocks in fetal position*
11.5.2007 - 4:24 pm
Oh my! We have members taking pills to get through this-I thought I was in bad shape! LOL
Thanks for everything megs and vlad!
11.5.2007 - 4:25 pm
im going crazy without TPF!!!!!! AGH i miss it!!!!!!!!!
11.5.2007 - 4:27 pm
I’m dying of boredom here at work. Please come back soon tPF!
11.5.2007 - 4:32 pm
Hey all, can anyone tell me, spotted woman at car boot yesterday with a bag thats made of recycled number plates and tyres! apparently they go for couple of hundred pounds but can remember name plzzzz anyone?????? cheers loopy
11.5.2007 - 4:32 pm
FAKES! Stay away!
11.5.2007 - 4:32 pm
OMG, it’s almost happy hour and STILL no tPF?????? Cosmo needs a drink, lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
11.5.2007 - 4:32 pm
FAKES! Stay away from efashionhouse!
However, eLuxury is completely legitimate.
11.5.2007 - 4:33 pm
Ok so an UPDATE!!!
UPDATE: The Purse Blog has been successfully moved to the new server. The PURSE FORUM is being moved as we speak. ETA is not known, I will keep pushing for more info though!!!!
11.5.2007 - 4:34 pm
Geeze Louise! I’m back from my Botox treatment and still nothing! Vlad..am I being punished for something? Show me the goods! If your hiding an exotic from me I’m going to hang you from LV!!
Geeze! I can’t move my face! I look like I got smacked with a frying pan! Haha!
11.5.2007 - 4:35 pm
Thanks for the information, Vlad.
You’re really making us H loves wait with anticipation over what is inside Meg’s BIG orange box.
11.5.2007 - 4:35 pm
im having withdrawal symptoms.. i need to log into PF!!!! =(
11.5.2007 - 4:36 pm
Hi — to those who may have had luck with ordering an RM bag, could you give an estimate of prices? Thanks.
Hi girls. I miss TPF! Just wanted to tell anyone who might be trying to order a RM from the online sample sale…go to their website click on “shop” then you’ll see a Vincent tab. Those are the sale bags. If you send them an email with your phone number they will call you back. Yea!! I tried for HOURS hearing only a busy signal. I’ve got my Christmas shopping done. (ok, it’s just a start…)
11.5.2007 - 4:39 pm
My last comment got lost in the shuffle. Anahi, stay away from efashionhouse. They definitely sell fakes. The only site that sells real LV is eLuxury.
11.5.2007 - 4:40 pm
Well, the box is awfully huge from the pic.. my guess is inside there is either a birkin or a kelly, that’s for sure! But, thinking that Megs already had a kelly for her bday, I’m leaning more towards the birkin. Oh, lucky gal! Just the idea of a new birkin is enough to make me shiver!!!!!! I need a new birkin myself!! Hahahaha..
11.5.2007 - 4:42 pm
Wonder if anyone has ended up in Betty Ford for tPF addiction. If this “down time” lasts much longer, I’m calling them!!
11.5.2007 - 4:43 pm
Oh no it’s nearly 9pm and it’s still not back
11.5.2007 - 4:45 pm
Oh good God, can hardly wait. Thanks MEGS!
11.5.2007 - 4:45 pm
I bought the morning after and the blind date clutch. Prices were about 40% off or better. Sorry, she told me but I didn’t write it down. Anyway about $370 IIRC for the MA. I think the clutch was half off. You can email your orders now. Tell them what you would like and ask for a price on the items (all under the Vincent tab). They won’t run it without your info.
Hope that helps.??
11.5.2007 - 4:46 pm
Have ordered another pair of shoes and two Hermes scarves. DH is praying you open up the site soon. It’s costing him a fortune!
It will be funny to see the posting frenzy when we are back though!!!
11.5.2007 - 4:46 pm
Wow a smilie appeared! I did it on my keyboard and the ( and :
11.5.2007 - 4:46 pm
Still no ETA, huh? I will wait if it’s like an hour or so, but will doze off if it’s still like 3+ hours..
11.5.2007 - 4:48 pm
i’ve been on tpf withdrawal since last nite! gasp. lol.
11.5.2007 - 4:50 pm
Hi, Help!! I’m in need of tpf. I’ve been waiting all day. I’m a newbie. Anyone know if verezia.com or Brandunions.com are legitimate purse sites. They both say authentic Balenciaga’s, are they??? Anyone know 100%???
THANKS
11.5.2007 - 4:50 pm
As far as I know diabro and aloharag and luisaviaroma are the only authentic Bbag sites
11.5.2007 - 4:53 pm
I miss you guys, what a boring day without you!!
11.5.2007 - 4:54 pm
To all my homegirls from the BBBC - hang in there! Sending positive thoughts to y’all
11.5.2007 - 4:56 pm
Finally some info! You’ve made me go crazy all day >_<
11.5.2007 - 4:57 pm
I’m going NUTS w/o tpf!! lol. I did manage to get thru Rebecca Minkoff and ordered the Matinee in Glazed Almond!!! Miss you guys! I think it was $395…
11.5.2007 - 4:57 pm
well i guess i’ll go to the gym….ugghh!
P.S thank you Megs& Vlad
DH is an network engineer i know about servers and the work it entails!!plus we have one here @ home.
11.5.2007 - 4:58 pm
I am “newbie” to this site, too, although I have a great collection of vintage bags (thank goodness my mother took care of her purses like they were gold), and some vintage and Chanels of my own, which I am starting to collect. I really look forward to advice and guidance from everyone on this site, I have already gotten some good advice about buying choices, and now, I am afrraid to make a decision without consulting the group!
11.5.2007 - 4:58 pm
Miss tpf too…..=(
11.5.2007 - 4:58 pm
UPDATE:
UPDATE:
UPDATE:
So Vlad is barely talking to me, which means he is hard at work with this. Bad news is that my update is there is still no ETA.
Let’s all cross our fingers!!!!
11.5.2007 - 4:59 pm
lolz! its 100% certified and authentic…were all tPF addicts!!!
forum is down and we still cant stop posting! 
11.5.2007 - 4:59 pm
I miss TPF! But like the other poster said, I was able to catch up on my housework, filing and other boring stuff
Well, off to go iron now!
11.5.2007 - 5:04 pm
LOL I was able to catch up on paying bill! hehehe Fingers are crossed Megs!
11.5.2007 - 5:06 pm
much love to you guys!!! <3 i can’t wait for the forum to be back up… going thru tpf withdrawal… ahhhhh!! no, really… you guys are doing a fantastic job with the site, and it’s definitely worth the wait.
11.5.2007 - 5:06 pm
LOL I was able to catch up on paying bills! hehehe Fingers are crossed Megs!
11.5.2007 - 5:06 pm
So that’s what’s going on. I was olive harvesting at my in-laws nearly all the week-end (great weather so it was fun), but tried all day today to log in.
Miss you guys a tun. Can’t wait to be back.
11.5.2007 - 5:08 pm
MEGS! As soon as tPF comes back up, we all expect to see a STRIPTEASE of that big ole ORANGE box you’re teasing us with!!!
TAKE IT OFF!!!!!
11.5.2007 - 5:09 pm
SOOOO I was just at nordie’s because I am freaking out with excitement about the half yearly sale…so I just wanted to walk around and make a plan of attack…LOL…
and then I saw it in the clearance.
The Coach large black patent hobo. WTF!?!??!?! I haven’t been able to find one of these in forever! AND at the lovely price of $228, which is about half of the msrp of 458…yes, I had them hold it. Gotta talk to DH first. But what an amazing steal!!!!
opinions? is patent a bad idea?
11.5.2007 - 5:10 pm
Thank you for the update Megs. It feels just a lil bit better to have you going back and forth to update us. Meanwhile, I think we all just gonna “talk” in here for a while, see the number of comments keep ballooning? LOL
On the other hand, I cant stop munching on cookies..
11.5.2007 - 5:10 pm
I remember why I call tpf home now,cos all the others are CRAP in comparison!!! Ooo,did I say that out loud? Vlad,all power to you,taking on a task like that,and for the benefit of all us moaning ladies!!!!
Ps,my husband said can he come and help you,he had forgotten how quiet his evenings are to watch football in peace!!! He is so sick of me trudging about moaning!!!!
Hope its all going well,for your sanity and my selfish addiction!!!! Megs,keep feeding him WHATEVER he needs!!! Love to you both,you’re great!
(but hurry up!)
11.5.2007 - 5:12 pm
No…do not purchase anything from those sites. Typically, it’s not really that easy to buy Balenciagas online. Even the “authorized” online sellers do not fully sell online (e.g., aloha rag - you have to fax them your order). Diabro, Bluefly, and Overstock.com are the only places that fully sell authentic Bbags online…and they are “third party” resellers so their stock is very limited and you’d be lucky to find what you’re looking for there. Oh, I guess I forgot rafaello and styledrops…but they are usually so overpriced that they’re not worth it.
11.5.2007 - 5:12 pm
Ohhhh!!!!! I was so looking forward to logging on today…Unfortunately by the time you come back up, I will be fast asleep…so I have to wait until tomorrow.
I can’t wait to see the information you have to share from New York!!!! And I definitely can’t wait to see what is in those beautiful orange boxes!!!
11.5.2007 - 5:12 pm
awww still not up yet?????????
11.5.2007 - 5:12 pm
Well, when I first clicked to this page, there were only 5 comments. I thought there were ONLY a few people addicted to tPF like me (was so surprised though) .. me more of reading & lurking OR sometimes STARING at the forum is like getting my fix. Now .. 200 something comments are more like it! LOL
Can’t wait to see what’re in the orange boxes .. and the new and improved tPF. WooooHoooooooooooooooooo
11.5.2007 - 5:14 pm
What a bunch of junkies we are..pretty soon it will be 24 hours without tPF and everyone is in full blown detox. This is painful!
11.5.2007 - 5:15 pm
stil no TPF and I can’t get through to LV UK or US! so I can’t even shop to ease the pain
*sob*
11.5.2007 - 5:16 pm
I keep checking back to see if its back up yet.. Thanks Vlad I know you are hard at work trying to improve tpf for us! It is very appreciated
11.5.2007 - 5:16 pm
oh & I ate half a pack of cookies! please hurry save me from myself
11.5.2007 - 5:17 pm
I’m actually having to work at my job. This is violently unfair.
11.5.2007 - 5:19 pm
I miss tpf,
what a lonely day this has been.. miss you all.
11.5.2007 - 5:20 pm
Just went to Saks pre-sale in Beverly Hills… For all of you Chloe fans: there are a dozen bags on sale beyond what’s listed on the website. Not familiar with styles, but some of the new patent leather on sale plus several lock (paddington?) kind. Also, many, many accessories.
11.5.2007 - 5:20 pm
the more tpf is down the more the thought of me *GASP* having to do work is setting in. I need a distraction! lol
11.5.2007 - 5:20 pm
Im having withdrawels!!!!! at least i finally exercised
11.5.2007 - 5:21 pm
Thanks for your response, so the Verezia.com Bbags
are knock offs????
11.5.2007 - 5:21 pm
Now i know for a fact Purse Forum is as addictive as da craCk rawKk! :OP *starts getting the shakes* hahahahaa
11.5.2007 - 5:21 pm
Me too…
11.5.2007 - 5:22 pm
Thanks for all your hard work Vlad!!!
I didn’t realize just how addicted to tPF I am…..
I need me some tPF!!!
11.5.2007 - 5:22 pm
Ok,so now I’ve run out of housework,I’m officially bored of baiting the husband for entertainment,my 16 month old sweet pea is tucked up and I’m thinking about going to bed(16 month old toddlers have no social graces with a tired person, she is as ruthless as a pitbull when she gets ignored!)So I’m off to bed and dream that all this was a bad dream…………………………….good luck guys,hope your stress levels don’t get you down!XXXXXXXX
11.5.2007 - 5:23 pm
I miss the gals in the jewelry forum!!! Chaz, Littlesharon, everyone, I got some new bling coming soon!!! Im having withdrawal syndrome because of this downtime====light headedness, cold sweats, mood swings LOL See you soon!
11.5.2007 - 5:23 pm
Candace! Which Nordies is it? THey’re already marked down for the sale?! I’m planning at going before work (at 7am) on Wed!
11.5.2007 - 5:24 pm
You’re lucky you can sleep through it, Chaz … it’s only midday here…and crashingly boring.
11.5.2007 - 5:24 pm
I felt so lonely today. Keep coming back here.
Thanks Vald and Megs for your hard work.
We all love you.
11.5.2007 - 5:26 pm
SOLITUDE!!!! I miss you too!!! Catch you tommorow honey!!!x
11.5.2007 - 5:26 pm
Can’t wait until tPF is back. I think I’ve been on this page even more than usual - just clicking refresh constantly all day long and a few times last night!
I’m glad to hear the stuff has been moved to the new servers.. now crossing my fingers that the rest of this process will happen soon so I don’t go crazy here and so my right hand second finger doesn’t get ‘mouse finger’ (equivalent of tennis elbow) from all the clicking!
Miss y’all. I need to chat with my fellow PFers on a daily basis!
11.5.2007 - 5:27 pm
Darn I wish SUNSHINE had thought this thru and sent Vlad a case of RED BULL for this occasion. A Starbucks card maybe??? Ahhh, hindsight is always 20/20!
VLAD, you know all us junkies congregating here appreciate your efforts so very much!!! (But seriously, I think we’re all foaming at the mouth, waiting for the return of tPF.)
11.5.2007 - 5:28 pm
My local LV number is stil down from last night, so is 1866. ahhhhhhhhhhh what is going on, lol. I need my pf fix. PLus now Im shopping online, this sucks!
11.5.2007 - 5:28 pm
I am coming back to say we have not forgotten any of you, but I am not sure that I have driven Vlad CRAZY. I keep sending him messages on his computer, since he won’t talk, and he is getting a little on edge!!!!!
Oh well! I am doing lots of online shopping- my FAVORITE!!! Lots of great things at Saks and tons of new Resort bags out!
11.5.2007 - 5:30 pm
I did notice tPF was running a little slow…. but I can’t wait for it to be back up!!! Ahhh! I am dying!
11.5.2007 - 5:32 pm
Chinadoll!!!!
I live in Oregon, so not only is the store I live near (Salem) NOT opening at 7, but 9, my SA told me they aren’t marking down any of the Coach they have on the shelves!!! :’( BAH!!!! BUT a little birdie told me they will be marking down the shoes, which is fantastic so I can get a return on the shoes I bought last week
The patent hobos aren’t currently in stores so I think that’s why they are so cheap.
ALTHOUGH, I have heard from the Coach forum girls and confirmed this today, that the NEW Leigh legacy flap has been marked down from 658 to 348. AMAZING.
So, regardless of the sale, I would sail over to Nordie’s and check out what they have in the reduced section!
<3
11.5.2007 - 5:32 pm
Megs— ORANGE BOXES—-!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can’t wait to see whats inside - this is the consolation prize for the downtime of tPF - LOL

11.5.2007 - 5:34 pm
OMG where is tPF when you need it!!?!?!? I am having a postal crisis right now and I need support. And I need B-Bag authentication. (It’s Bubble Gum, darnit! I NEED that color.)
Geez, we are hooked, aren’t we?
11.5.2007 - 5:34 pm
Candace, go for the Coach patent hobo! It’s a great deal and patent is so hot this season. I bought 2 patent bags for fall/winter — an espresso MJ tote and a MK grey patent! Can’t wait for them to arrive!
11.5.2007 - 5:36 pm
By my not being able to post all the sales that arrived to my inbox today, I was FORCED to do some online shopping myself!! Bought a gorgeous black Be&D Dietrich satchel for $413 at NM!!(3rd Be&D this week).Usually I just try to post without investigating the sale myself, but with all this time on my hands, I’m gonna be in big trouble!! LOL! BTW, Delcina has the Bulga Double Pocket Satchel on sale for $387. I haven’t read all the comments, so forgive me if someone has already mentioned this. Oops…sorry, just can’t get that need to post these sales outta me…a difficult habit to break.
11.5.2007 - 5:36 pm
He won’t talk to you Megs? Uh oh, he must be dead serious to do this as fast as he could, and we all thank him for that!
Okay Megs, you have to promise us that you will show off all your loot once tpf is up. You seem to be in a serious shopping spree, with the orange boxes and all, hehe!
11.5.2007 - 5:36 pm
I am so not used to this. I’ve been checking the status from last night, LOL!I feel a huge part of me is lost since I could not log onto TPF! But I believe good things are worth waiting. Purse Forum is getting better and better~ Thanks Vlad and Megs for your efforts! You guys rock!
Miss you ladies all!

11.5.2007 - 5:40 pm
Bagachondriac, please don’t ever break your sales-posting habit! We’d all be so broke without you.
11.5.2007 - 5:42 pm

11.5.2007 - 5:48 pm
Thank you soo much mas2388! I had emailed them but had not heard back yet. Now if I can just decide…
11.5.2007 - 5:48 pm
I searched all the posts and didn’t find one from ‘chloesmygirl’ Hmmmmmm!!! I wonder if that means anything. Perhaps her little darlings have arrived. If not, I suspect that she’s going crazy w/o anything to do in that hospital bed. Chloe…if you’re out there, please give us an update as I’m pacing the floor wondering!!
11.5.2007 - 5:48 pm
Chag ~ we made our own mini PF ~ now if someone could just organize our subjects here….. LOL
11.5.2007 - 5:51 pm
^^^Btw, the person I spoke to was super nice! Go buy lots!!!
11.5.2007 - 5:51 pm
I miss tPF! Am on bedrest and am just dying here with out all my enablers!
11.5.2007 - 5:52 pm
black patent or brown patent?????? :):):)
11.5.2007 - 5:53 pm
I got SOOOO much work done today
11.5.2007 - 5:54 pm
Get the black, it goes with everything! It’s such a good deal!
11.5.2007 - 5:57 pm
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ! There are codes to be had; purses to be bought!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cough, Sputter~~~~~~~Just going through mild withdrawel~~~~~~~
11.5.2007 - 5:58 pm
Aww… it’s still down?! =( I am having major purse withdrawals right now! That means I have to get some real work done instead of goofing off… waaaa…
11.5.2007 - 5:59 pm
Candace — you can never go wrong with black patent, it’s completely classic — I guess it would depend on whether you wear more blacks or browns. How about both? LOL!
11.5.2007 - 6:00 pm
Brown patent because that’s what I bought ;}
11.5.2007 - 6:02 pm
LOL!!!!!
I know huh…both
Black is always fun and if the bags were plain leather instead of patent it would be a tougher decision…certain colors look better than others in patent, black and red always look good…brown is hit or miss. this brown is a more espresso-y brown so it does look quite divine, but I think it would look odder than the black one on me.
But it is always better to get opinions on here!

I love everyone on tPF!
11.5.2007 - 6:03 pm
Wow, i miss you guys!!! Hurry up!! J/k I work in IT(Techie) so i know what he’s probably going through.
11.5.2007 - 6:05 pm
No PF…shaking…clammy…vision starting to cloud over…must have PF…yes nurse, I’ll put on the pretty long sleeved white pyjamas and go to bed now…..It’s 11 pm here and we have been without all day. Goodnight ladies, hope to see you all tomorrow!
Thanks for all your hard work Vlad and Megs. I think this is a testimony to you two…we’ll post anywhere!
11.5.2007 - 6:05 pm
What brand?
11.5.2007 - 6:07 pm
Hi mas2388,
Re: Rebecca Minkoff sample sale
How on earth did you get through to that number to the sample sale? I’m been calling constantly since 12:00. I get one of the following when I call:
1) busy signal
2) voice mail recording telling me the box is full
3) the phone rings and rings and after so long it disconects me
I have called so so many times (it’s not even funny) but to no avail.
Thank you.
11.5.2007 - 6:08 pm
Listen, I am considering setting my own forum up… I can’t ever work properly because of the withdrawal symptoms (loading the page again and again)
Any Chloe fan out there? I am missing you all… So many finds today, hard decisions to make and no one to guide me… Sniff…
11.5.2007 - 6:09 pm
Hello, my name is Grace K. and I have an addiction. I need a 12 step program for my addiction to tPF. We won’t even get started about the orange box addiction…;)
11.5.2007 - 6:13 pm
I’m having bagdrawal here!
Thanks for the explanation!
11.5.2007 - 6:16 pm
Ok we get it! this is just a test to see who really loves TPF!! as you can see WE ALL DO!!plese hurry DH & kids will be home soon
11.5.2007 - 6:17 pm
I tried calling Rebecca Minkoff over and over too… got those same 3 responses. LOL Thanks for listing the prices. I wish the matinee was less.
11.5.2007 - 6:17 pm
omg, I am shaking, I need my TPF. Can’t wait.
11.5.2007 - 6:19 pm
I think it says a lot that since our regular forums are down, we are helping each other out here!!!
tPF is an awesome family!
11.5.2007 - 6:19 pm
LOL *Freetoes* So I see! We are creating a mini tPF version right here lol
11.5.2007 - 6:21 pm
We can’t let a little server problem take away our crack, now can we? Crack is whack! LOL
11.5.2007 - 6:23 pm
You can email your order to Rebecca Minkoff. Click on Vincent and look at the purses. Then get your order together and email it to them. That’s what they told me I could tell others to do. Here’s the email I got:
Hello!
If you still want to place your order, please click this link :
http://www.rebeccaminkoff.com/sample-sale.html
and then email your order to store@rebeccaminkoff.com and we can now take email orders.
Thanks!
Rebeccaminkoff.com!
someone else posted the prices (above)
11.5.2007 - 6:25 pm
Megs, you aren’t keeping it down on purposed so we’ll get 1000 posts here are you? If you are, let us know and we promise to fill it up quickly!
11.5.2007 - 6:26 pm
Thanks a million, Vlad and Megs!
Megs, can’t wait to see your orange box reveal, yay!
Hope everyone is well and “see” you soon…..
11.5.2007 - 6:27 pm
THANK YOU VLAD for all of your hard work!!! We all appreciate it so much!
11.5.2007 - 6:28 pm
great ~ Vlad if I order a RM bag, it’s all your fault…..
Anyone know the measurements for the Niki and Niki Mini bag?
11.5.2007 - 6:28 pm
CHAZ!!!! Need your expert opinion soon. And I need it now LOL Im debating between a pair of 14mm white south sea pearl stud earrings and a pair of princess cut diamond cross dangling earrings with total carat weight of around 1.6. My jeweller can only hold the cross until today because another lady is set on buying the pair tomorrow! Help! Both pairs are almost the same price range! Which would hold its value more and remain a classic piece??? As you can see this downtime is driving me up the wall LOL
11.5.2007 - 6:28 pm
This is so depressing! I never knew how addicted I was to TPF until today! I can’t even go shopping efficiently without TPF! I went to the mall earlier & got upset because I couldn’t remember if there were any codes/coupons for the stores I went to. I have 7 things on hold at 3 different stores in the hopes that I can buy it cheaper thru TPF. Please hurry, anxiety is killing me! LOL
11.5.2007 - 6:29 pm
OMG I can’t beleive how addicted I am to TPF! I miss it so much!!! I really need a life
11.5.2007 - 6:29 pm
I am having severe PF withdrawal and to make it worse my husband even s
