beautifully subversive
Part I: The Dilemma Suppose you were at a party: It’s being hosted by a friend of a friend, and the host is very well connected in the realm of fashion.

objects in mirror are closer than they appear
Okay, at the risk of being self indulgent, let’s talk about me, shall we? I’ve recently received some feedback on my blog, from several sources: “Why is he so hard on himself?” “He shouldn’t be so negative” “You need to be more vulnerable, show us your inner struggle!” “I was surprised to see how insecure […]
