hey 'rica! what's in your bag?!

this is the second installment in (what i hope to become) a series: the contents of bags toted by my friends and acquaintances.  thanks to my best homegirl, erica, for sharing her amazing bag and its contents with the internet.
this meticulously handpainted/collaged/assembled canvas bag was made by Chanda Helzer.  it features the lyrics of my #3 favorite Rolling Stones song, Shattered (following Paint It, Black and Moonlight Mile).
laughter joy and loneliness and sex and sex and sex and sex and look at me! i'm in tatters!
it's shameful, sinful even, but i covet 'rica's bag.  but just look at me! it!

i'm hungry for success!!!!

pride and joy and dirty dreams are still survivin' on these streets

this town is full of money grabbers! go 'head! shattered!

i mean, i'm really happy for erica.  it's beautiful.
okay.  now the good stuff!  what does she have lying around in there?
