"Ooh la la, I love stories of good old American ingenuity, like this one I read about yesterday on the Seatbelt Bags website: Hello, we&amp;#x27;re the HARVEYS, husband and wife, Dana and Melanie Harvey. In March 1997, while installing seatbelts into our 1950 Buick, we had the idea of making Melanie a matching handbag. Everyone loved hers so much that we decided to make more. The results are a line of sturdy purses, wallets, pouches, etc. etc. made of, I swear to god, seatbelts. The Harveys have even collaborated with Mercedes Benz on a line that uses exclusively MB seatbelts. So, if you can&amp;#x27;t afford that Benz-y... Though I&amp;#x27;d hate to have an exchange like this while getting out of my car (read: a 2002 VW with a broken driver&amp;#x27;s side mirror): Random pedestrian: &amp;amp;quot;Hey, you&amp;#x27;ve still got your seatbelt on.&amp;amp;quot;Me: &amp;amp;quot;Um, that&amp;#x27;s my purse, dude.&amp;amp;quot; Do you think that would happen? OK, I don&amp;#x27;t really call people &amp;amp;quot;dude&amp;amp;quot;...even though I secretly want to. But nothing surprises me these days--people can be so nosy when they&amp;#x27;re trying to &amp;amp;quot;help&amp;amp;quot;. Tell me, have you ever avoided wearing something because it might just attract attention you don&amp;#x27;t want? --Jenny"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
