Just Like Jack

A few weeks ago, I was shopping at my favorite store, Kohl’s, when I got cracked up at a little girl shopping with her mother.

The girl was proudly carrying around her brand new “High School Musical” t-shirt. She was talking a mile a minute to the adult with her about the outfit she was wearing. “This is the outfit that Galleria wore to her meeting,” she told her gleefully—Galleria being one of the Cheetah Girls.

I got cracked up, not because I was making fun of the little girl, but because I could totally relate to her.

And if you see me heading to work beginning this week, you’ll understand why.

That’s right. I am now the proud owner of a Rothco 9148HW Classic Messenger Bag—the same bag Jack Bauer carried last season on “24.”

And yes, I am just as excited as that little girl.

I think that owning the clothes or accessories of our favorite TV characters make us feel like we’re a part of it all. And let’s face it. It’s just really cool.

Although I’m pretty sure that Jack Bauer never had lipstick in his bag…

Unless he found a way to use it to kill someone.
