What's in Enya's handbag?

[Castle_Qwean]

It appears some people take things here too seriously. #justsaying (Or are they being facetious/sarcastic? Hard to tell.)

In her handbag are a few spare solid gold leaves and brass stars, from the manufacturing of this starry gate

 

[disneyteletubby]

Lots of those spare button pouches, previously attached to coats/jackets/dresses in shops

A list of items she might like to bid for from the Sotheby's Freddie Mercury auction: cat memorabilia, Japanese artwork, early drafts of Queen songs...

Soon enough, some of Freddie's magic might have a place in her handbag

I'm sorry, but that gate is SO pretentious! No one can even see it unless they're invited to Nicky and Roma's home, lol.

These should've been like Elvis's Graceland gates
One day perhaps

If only there were a recording of THIS in the auction!

Although Enya has never performed a concert as a solo artist, there was one occasion when she performed in public. Together with Nicky and Roma, she was in Taipei doing a radio interview and the interview was interrupted by the news that Freddie Mercury of Queen had died. In response, Enya sang Silent Night in Irish...in honour of the great Freddie Mercury, and this was broadcast all over Asia, including China. There wasn’t a dry eye in Asia, and it must have been a truly amazing moment.

Edit: forgot the source! https://www.nui.ie/college/docs/citations/2007/nuigHonCon07/enya.pdf

TBH, I'm confident that never happened. For one thing, it appears the promo tour to Taipei was in December, not November. Freddie died on 24 November. Also, the statement that she's never done a concert as a solo artist is a porky pie. Photographic evidence: https://stillslibrary.rte.ie/indexplus/image/2297/079.html

Wow (that's wonderful if this is true) which article is this taken from?

Edit: Thanks, I now know
Never seen that speech transcript before, nice!

A crinkled copy of the most tabloid-y story 'starring' Enya, apparently plain to see

Spoiler: This one

And the aviator glasses frames

The original audio tape with just her vocals for Fairytale 3 the rather rare track from The Celts documentary - it's more liked than the released one on Enya/The Celts
This but a better audio version:

 

[disneyteletubby]

A jar of Marmite

(I didn't know these existed before more here)

 

[Lucille]

She’s got tonight’s lamb chops marinating in there.

Nice that the photographer was sure to get the Mercedes in the pic.
I wonder if that's the same Mercedes that was in the alleged (?) 1997 accident...

Maybe Enya should try this approach to teasing?

This magazine page from a 1991 photoshoot 🕯

this approach to teasing?

This is teasing enough (the prices in the corner)

The cloak: £730.16

A copy of the film Enys Men that someone recommended after misreading the title

Enys Men

No, not Enya's Men, but I yearn for a Jenkin's directed feature on a fictional account of Enya's love-life with mystical characters from Irish folklore. I've seen multiple reviews post a short synopsis of the set-up of the film, even naming the lead's role and reason for being on the island...

Just one Cornetto

for Nicky and Roma

 

[Finn]

Plastic straws.

Enya says FUCK THE PLANET

 

[disneyteletubby]

I thought Enya said and wrote Keep Our Planet Green...

Recycled notepad in her handbag

 

[Finn]

She keeps her real views on the downlow, but quite often she'll throw her used drinking straws and other unwanted plastics directly into Dublin Bay

If this exists (now or in the future), she needs to share a copy of it with us!

If only it could be like the Watermark promo tour. https://web.archive.org/web/20210512090604/http://enyabookofdays.com/articles/wm-29.htm

Enya would be knackered if it was exactly like that
(I'd be worn out, even if I'm over 4 decades younger, haha).
Another diary entry-type recount would be fun though

A packet of Iced Gems

A Japanese folding fan and a chilled can

Spoiler: Perhaps these 🌬️🍹

or

( Brennans not related to Enya, haha, but the Wicklow Wolf brewery is likely close by)

 

[Castle_Qwean]

I don't have a pic of her holding a chilled can of anything, lol

 

[disneyteletubby]

I thought there was an existing photo of Enya holding a fan somewhere, thanks

I don't have a pic of her holding a chilled can of anything, lol

Haha. Does this moment count (Eithne and probably her sister Deirdre picking up/putting down a drink

more like a tall glass)?

 

[Castle_Qwean]

Looks like a glass. I have a few pics of her drinking from glasses, but not from cans. She's too classy for that.
