The contents of a person’s bag can tell a million stories. We talked to Heidi of The Sandwitches about the secrets that hide out in her handbag.
What’s all this knick-knack on the top?
A bunch of charms that I keep in my grape change purse like rocks, rings, a piece of gold snakeskin and a marble me and my boyfriend, Johnny, found lodged in a picnic table when we went camping this year.
Who’s the gentleman surfing and playing the flute at the same time?
That’s my boyfriend. He’s not surfing, he’s standing on the beach, but it would be cool if he was surfing. We went on vacation last year to Mexico. He and I drove a crappy car down to Baja.
And what’s that cute little puppy doing in there?
That’s my sunglasses case. I got it from an old friend of mine, Phoebe. We had been up all night in her house when I saw this case and I made her give it to me. It looks exactly like her Boston Terrier. I almost lost it last year at South by Southwest. It fell out of my bag and somebody made a substantial effort to chase me down and give it back to me. It’s a cherished possession, I would have been really sad if I’d lost it.
Who’s that clowning around on that little button?
That’s our drummer, Roxy. Somebody at Grace’s work makes buttons so he made some from this photo of us dressed like clowns.
The Sandwitches play on 17 November in dB's in Utrecht and on 3 December in OCCII. These shows are free for Subbacultcha! members.
