Photographs of lost luggage.

IT’S A LITTLE ODD BUT NOT AS ODD AS STAMP COLLECTING

thank you, thank you so much, lunalaboo for rummaging through my luggage, taking pictures of my stuff, and putting it all online before getting in touch with me about my luggage.

i was scared that it might end up in the hands of some philately creep.

Sifting through the loot it looks as if this is entirely possible.

Country song: "Six days on the road and I only brought along one bra."

"Underwear? Just takes up space. I'm going commando."

"I just *sniff* went to Colombia *sniff* for the scenery, *sniff* officer."

"Since we're only going for the weekend I thought I'd spice it up a... you did bring the lobster suit, didn't you?"

It's like an algebra question. How can you have 18 socks and only six pair?

Doh! That Colombia one was supposed to go here. Because of all the handkerchiefs, you know....

i can't help thinking how awful the collector's living quarters must smell with all this dirty laundry piling up.

For real about the questionable wardrobe choices. I suppose these people must have had additional luggage. But black case looks pretty cute, I'd like to meet her.

Unless she's underage, of course.

The 'Other Stuff' link is much more interesting than the bags themselves.

Unmentionable.

There were a few in there that had absolutely no shoes, and one owner really loved the color yellow. How odd.
