Bagaholic Boy (BB). We would like to put up a picture on him, but we don’t even have one! (That’s not him up there) The question for the day is: Who is Bagaholicboy?
Started in 2007, Bagaholicboy’s blog readership has grown from 3 a day to 10,000 a month! As you can tell from the name, Bagaholicboy.com is a niche blog on bags for men and for women and claims to be the only dedicated bag blog in Singapore.
If you have read his early entries, BB did drop hints on his identity. His nickname is most probably Olly (update: it is not!!) and he was a Sony Vaio W Brand Ambassador. If you’re planning to google that, forget it! I’ve already done the work and all we got was Kareena Kapoor from India. So, who is BB? Why is Sony keeping his identity under wraps?
Okay, let’s give this up for now. Guessing his identity will simply get us nowhere! So for now, let’s talk about the masked ranger’s blog.
BB started his blog driven by the love for man-bags and bags in general. As you can see now, he does not only talk about manbags but includes bags for ladies in his discussions. The thing I admire the most about BB is his courage in talking about bags for women. I have seen comments to some posts that go “Isn’t that bag for a woman?” and thought, “Oh dear, that’s a bad comment.” Despite these sensitive comments, BB has taken them in his own stride and has certainly not allowed his passion for bags to be held back by his gender or gender stereotypes.
Now regarded as an opinion leader in the area of bags as accessories, BB has been consulted for suggestions on bags to buy and not to. “Ask the Bagaholicboy” is an interactive section in his blog where BB would reply questions from readers on what else but bags! In the most recent question posted, reader Andrew Dorai took the words right out of my mouth as he praised BB on being a godsend guardian angel for women crazy about bags.
So, would anyone care to spill the beans on this angel in disguise?
