The Dolores Chiller
Messenger Chick Magnet
The Delores Chiller is a sexy multifunctional bag mainly used to store BOOZE or anything else you want. I’ve brought it on vacations, tailgates, house parties, to the beach, you name it. Like they say, it looks like a messenger but it’s really a cooler, bottle opener, and a chick magnet. That’s right, I said it, a frickin chick magnet. Quirky chicks that are very patriotic and love beer coolers dressed up as a messenger bags. The inner lining was surprisingly strong. I’m pretty rough with this bag and it’s been holding up so far.
Top 5 favorite ways I’ve used my Dolores Chiller in no particular order:
1) Tailgates and football games! I Parked 3 blocks from campus, dropped by my friend’s apartment and filled up my bag with ice and beer. I rolled up to the middle of campus with my bright ass bag. My friends spotted me and in the bright red white and blue asked me what the hell I was carrying and thought I brought my work with me to the tailgate. I opened up the bag filled ice, Dos Equis. Pacifico and Coronas and the awes ensued.
2) Travel bag. I usually bring my laptop backpack with me to business trips. When I first got the bag I was pretty amped so I decided to bring it with me to my next business trip to San Francisco just to test out its durability and to see if I can find any use in it besides tailgates. Not only did it fit my laptop, work folders, it had additional room in the front for my USB drive, pens and small notepads. On the weekend I emptied the Dolores Cooler of my work stuff and filled it back up with beer and ice =).
3) Attention Whoring. OK, so it’s not exactly a chick magnet and it would be awesome if it came in some non July 4th colors, but I’m a social being and when I bring work with me to a coffee shop or Starbucks, people do stare and notice. “What? Oh, that’s right, my bag’s hotter than yours” is my new pickup line.
4) Picnic and beach bag. Sandwiches, panini’s, Pinot Grigio, crackers, cheese and hummus at the Hollywood Bowl. I first got the idea at the 4th of July fireworks show at the Hollywood Bowl and the Dolores Cooler has proved the be an extremely useful picnic bag ever since.
5) Bottle opener. This damn thing has a built in bottle opener too…. Need I say more?
