Crisis Avoided.

My mom got me this beautiful B. Makowsky bag for Christmas. I love it and carry it as my purse, after having made my old purse my school bag.

Last friday I went to a friend of mine, Malik16's, show at Bowery Poetry Club. It was a really dope venue and I saw some excellent artists perform. At some point I went to the bar to get another drink, and I looked down at my bag to find it stained with light blue and green paint. Die.

Oh my god, freakin died. Couldn't really deal with it, so I just parked the bag for the weekend and left it alone until Sunday.
I found some various techniques for removing paint from leather off of google, but I was so nervous because I didn't want to ruin the bag. 2 hours with a baking soda + vinegar mixture and q-tips and I got the paint lifted from the bag!! I was so freakin happy to have saved it. The weird thing is I still have no clue where the paint came from because no one else had it on them. Also, why the eff would you paint some walls and have wet paint he night of an event at your venue? Dumb.

Oh well, Crisis avoided...
