Dorinda Medley Carries Her Book and 1 Item That Has Everyone Doing a Double Take — What’s in Her Bag (Exclusive)

Dorinda Medley has a golden glow about her — and some of the products stashed away in her designer bag may have something to do with it.

The Golden Life star, 61, exclusively gave Us a peek inside her black Hermès Birkin handbag with a vibrant yellow and pink scarf hanging from the handle, sharing what she carries on the daily.

Dorinda embodied a casual chicness when she caught up with Us on the streets of New York City, wearing a black blouse, light-washed jeans and black, pointed-toe heels and a bold yellow cocktail ring.

Dorinda’s swoon-worthy bag featured a variety of items — one of which she admits often makes her friends do a double take after being mistaken for a sex toy.

“This, people always think is a dildo, but it’s not,” she teased, referring to her red light wand for the face.

Dorinda pulled out her new book, I Know a Thing or Two About a Thing or Two, confirming it comes out in November. “I’m very proud of carrying my book,” she told Us.

Beauty Clutch

The former Real Housewives of New York City star swears by her Chanel Navy Tweed Beauté Cosmetic Pouch as her go-to carry-all. She revealed the makeup carrier “holds everything you could imagine.”

Snip, Snip!

“Everyone should carry around a mini scissors,” Dorinda said, pulling out her small pair from a Chanel pouch inside of her bag. “I’m the girl that you go to, you know, when people say, ‘Do you have [this]? Oh, my God, this just happened.’ I’m like, ‘Don’t worry.’”

Feminine Fragrance

“Of course we have perfume. Hug me, you can smell it,” Dorinda shared as she leaned in closer to Us’ reporter for a whiff of her nondescript perfume bottle.

As Dorinda pulled a black cylinder out of her purse that she quipped resembled a sex toy, the Bravolebrity insisted it was a beauty tool to depuff her face.

“Every time I take it out, they’re like, ‘Dorinda Medley, we never thought about you having a dildo,’” she said with a laugh, before holding it up to her cheek.

Dorinda noted that in reality it is a red light face wand which uses low-level LED light to boost collagen and calm puffiness and red lines. “And anytime I have downtime I’m always just red lighting,” she added.

For years, readers have loved the What’s In My Bag franchise — and now, Us is launching a new video series that will bring an even more intimate look at what celebs are carrying with them at all times.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Lisa Vanderpump exclusively told Us earlier this month the “hospitality bible” she carries in her Louis Vuitton purse.

Looking forward, anyone, including you, could be stopped on the street next outside of Us’ New York City studio to spill about the contents of their purse, tote, backpack or wallet.

The series launched on Us’ YouTube channel and is currently featured on the site.
