JAL said...: Actually, reminds me of my RISD days.

But then, NYC, San Franscsico and the like are like that.

Clothes can be fun. But these days I am too busy to look in the mirror.; 7/28/12, 9:21 AM
KCFleming said...: Well, NYC has only one boundary, that followed rigidly by all lefties, now second nature.

That, and no 32 ounce sodas. And no guns.

Okay, there are a shitload of boundaries and corrals.
But you can wear all sorts of fun clothes!!!; 7/28/12, 9:22 AM

Subversion on a tiny scale when contrasted with the establishment-approved subversive art of Laurie Anderson.; 7/28/12, 9:46 AM

DADvocate said...: Shucks. I was hoping it would be this Bill Cunningham. The one of "Barack Hussein Obama" fame.

People who make excessive style statements signal to me superficiality, an empty shell. I'm rarely wrong.; 7/28/12, 10:06 AM
