I feel guilty shopping for myself in December, but when I saw one of my dream bags listed in a 72-hour sale event on eBay for 57% off, I couldn't resist. Seriously, she's even been listed on my Pinterest wish list board for quite some time now!

Ladies and gentlemen, may I present the Kate Spade New York Gold Coast Small Georgina in "Ballet Slipper Pink":

Her details:

• 8.5''h x 11.5''w
• drop length: 9.5''
• pebbled cowhide with foil metallic coating and matching trim
• 14-karat light gold plated hardware
• custom woven metallic jacquard with spades & stripes
• handheld with cross-body strap and a zip top closure
• interior zip & double slide pockets
• kate spade new york light gold staple
• imported

The perfect size (not too big, not too small), a shoulder strap for convenience, the perfect color (ballet slipper pink!), gold hardware... Heck, even the lining of the bag is perfect! Look at those adorable gold polka dots! She's chic, ladylike and timeless. I can't believe I was able to snatch her up for such a good price. I assumed she would be too in demand to ever go on sale like this. I feel very, very fortunate.

One extremely annoying thing about acting is that there are so many little things that have to be just right in order for it to work. It isn't just your acting ability that matters, though I sincerely wish that was the case. One of the biggest things, for example, that has to be absolutely perfect is your headshot.

Your hair color, the way your hair is styled, your makeup, your skin color, your wardrobe, your jewelry and accessories, the lighting, the amount of Photoshopping in the final edit, your pose, the background - everything has to be just right. If even one of these things is slightly off, the whole photo is ruined and you have to reshoot.

I wish I were kidding, but I'm not. It's frustrating as hell, but you live and you learn. I have to reshoot yet again, but this time, I know exactly what I'm looking for.
