Emmett McCarthy Equation Bag

Darlings, do you see this lovely bag from Emmett McCarthy's Equation line? Fabulous, no? The Equation line of bags will be sold on QVC next week and, we don't know if you've heard this, but QVC is actually appearing in the tents at Bryant Park. They'll be broadcasting at 10 PM on Monday, 9/8 with a runway show featuring designs by a host of designers. Emmett's bags will be sashaying down that runway and the models will be wearing some gorgeous EMC2 frocks to go along with them. Alas, the dresses are only props. QVC isn't selling them - yet. Emmett was here in Philly this week for meetings with QVC and he brought his entire line of bags with him. Honeys, you never saw such queenery in your life as the three of us modeled the bags and discussed their merits in the PRGay living room.

Now, on Monday we're posting the most comprehensive Emmett McCarthy interview the world has ever seen - from his childhood, to his career, to his time on the show and beyond. That bitch can TALK and we just pointed a microphone at him and let him go. Before we post the interview, we thought we'd do our best girlfriend a proper and promote him a little bit. There are perks to being a PRGayBoy, but if you're a designer, there are also perks to being a FRIEND of the PRGayBoys, know what I'm saying?

Anyway, we have two prototype versions of the pictured bag above, one in blue and one in green brown, both autographed on the inside by Miss McCarthy herself. Want one? Here's what you have to do; answer this question:

Where did Emmett get his inspiration for this bag?

Weird question, we know. Thing is, the answer's pretty weird too. We'll give you two hints: 1) it wasn't another bag, and 2) T Lo are very tangentially related to Emmett's moment of inspiration. Anything more than that and we'll be giving you too much info.

Think long and hard about this one, darlings. The answer is not obvious and to be perfectly frank, we don't expect anyone to hit the nail on the head exactly. Winners will be chosen from the answers that come closest to the truth. The answer will be revealed in Monday's interview, so you have until then. To make it fair, you only get three guesses.

Ready? GO!
