The quickest way to know a woman is to look into her handbag.

A handbag is the indispensable accessory of every woman. We all know it; whether it is a clutch bag or a big handbag, us women need to go around with a handbag. The only thing that differs from woman to woman is what we carry inside it.

• Lipstick: Indispensable to retouch your make up before and after. It is also rather sexy to see a woman slowly putting on her lipstick, a seduction weapon, I would say.

• Sunglasses: To play the big star and also for wearing the morning after.

• Mobile phone: To keep in touch with friends and admirers. The latest model with an agenda incorporated to keep up to date with all your appointments and invitations. It also serves as photo and video camera if needed.

• Wet wipes: Very handy for refreshing your toilette when you are outside all day.

• Perfume: A sexy scent to attract the unaware male. Make sure you do not put too much on as it can be overpowering. A light refreshing scent is better.

• Chewing gum or mints.

• Preservatives: Obligatory in any woman's handbag. Nothing worse than having gone all the way through the conquest to find out that none of you has a preservative handy.

• A silk scarf: Very sexy worn around your neck to add a chic touch to any outfit. It can also be handy to hide any embarrassing marks left by a too enthusiastic lover. But, even better it can be used for sexy games like some soft bondage or blindfolding your partner.

• A mini vibrator: Nowadays you can even find them in the shape and size of a lipstick so there is no excuse not to have one in your handbag. It can be used at your leisure but also to spice up an encounter.

• An erotic novel: Something hot to read while you travel in the metro, you will arrive home in the mood for some adventure. If you are single, a saucy novel can help break the ice with that unknown gentleman that looks available. Just drop it accidentally near him, if he has any sense he will pick up not only the novel but the hint and you will be bagging both your novel and a new admirer.
• And of course... Nightclub passes and VIP invitations to the most fashionable places of the moment.
