Puzzle Pieces

Most of these photos didn't come out, so I had to give some of them the Jak&Jil treatment, i.e. framing the torso to better emphasize the armload of bracelets clutching an iPad covered in a leather slipcase bearing the latest it-print (Ikat, leopard, digitized floral, etc). Sadly, none of those elements are present here, but it's still a nice excuse to get nutty with the crop tool.

This is what I wore to meet Rachel, Jen, and Annalise for a screening of Barbarella as part of the SF Fashion Film Festival last week. It was totally worth $15 witness, on the big screen, such heights of sci-fi inanity and cheeseball sexual innuendo coupled with Jane Fonda's amazing costumes. I definitely see why it's considered a fashion film... but it makes Logan's Run look like Schindler's List.

Do you see the kilt-pin in the second photo? I took it off of a skirt one day to use as a quick-fix for closing a blazer that was missing a button. I kind of like the way it looks hanging off of a buttonhole, so I now I slip it onto any jacket that has one, missing buttons or no. Call it an archaic punk flourish; lord knows it's the only kind I got.
