• How much did it cost? It was a gift from my mommy.

• Tell us about the first bag you ever bought. It was a Fendi shoulder bag -- something I had my eye on for a long time. I got it as a birthday gift from my grandparents. I was so excited!

• What do you like about this handbag? It's a fabulous bag and big enough to carry all the things I need, whether I am performing, spending the day shopping or seeing friends.
