I feel pretty, oh so pretty, I feel pretty and witty and gay! And I pity Any girl without a purse today!

Making its purse debut Oscar Night is best picture 1961, 'West Side Story.' This was a real find - while the film soundtrack is not uncommon in the Salvation Army bins, they're usually in terrible shape. This one is immaculate (don't worry about the vinyl, I'm giving it a good home. And driving my neighbors nuts by playing the mambo orchestral number too loudly.)

Unlike most soundtrack albums, this one has lots of high-quality glossy stills from the movie, which are now both outside and inside the bag. Both the Jets and the Sharks are at the ready to guard your wallet and keys.

The pictures don't do the colors justice. It's really a deep red - much, much less orangey. Oh no Anita no!

The purse measures 8" x 9" x 4" and features bead closure and matching red vinyl handle.

SOLD!
