slightly style
Her style is gorgeous, provocative and ever so slightly deranged.
funny
In a funny kind of way, they were very feminist.
aspects deepest emotional loved symbolic
I loved that image. It's a symbolic representation of the deepest emotional aspects of their relationship.
fashion thinking ideas
I don't want a politician who's thinking about fashion for even one millisecond. It's the same as medical professionals. The idea of a person in a Comme des Garcons humpback dress giving me a colonoscopy is just not groovy.
fashion leopards delight
The message of a leopard-print jumpsuit is clear: 'I am a huntress who delights in eating the offal of her prey.'
writing clothes america
All over America, people are making kamikaze choices about what to wear. They are misrepresenting the goods. They are letting their clothes write checks that their personalities cannot cash.
comedian architect
Architects are the new comedians.
smell interesting people
Why the hell wouldn't you want to be one of the fabulous people, the life enhancers, who look interesting and smell luscious and who dare to be gorgeously more fascinating than their neighbors?
formal conventional
Why be formal when you can be fabulously feral? Why be conventional when you can be happy?
self inappropriate planets
If there is such a person on the planet, then he or she-this self-appointed arbiter of “appropriateness”-deserves to be confronted with as many “inappropriate” transgressions as possible.
shoes yellow interesting
Wearing a pair of yellow shoes does not make you an interesting person, that is of course unless you've just murdered someone in them.
fashion real identity
Conformity is the only real fashion crime. To not dress like yourself and to sublimate your spirit to some kind of group identity is succumbing to fashion fascism.
air knowing people
Knowing who you really are and dressing the part -- with an air of amused recklessness -- is life affirming for you and life enhancing for other people.
important score masochistic
The important thing is not to be masochistic. Women are so hard on themselves. Don't do that. No one is keeping score.
