The glamour of restrained maximalism is proceeding apace. Of course, a lot of the elements were obviously there already: my Glomesh accessories, the pink flower at the top of this page, etc. But none of it ever really clicked into an aesthetic strategy before. Now I'm wearing a diamante-encrusted pendant, a wedding ring and a slimline ladies' gold watch.
Yes, I've been boring for a week, but I can't really bring myself to write so obviously about stuff that everyone else has covered much more comprehensively -- New X-Men, Kill Bill, George Bush. Except to note that a colleague and I were trying to cross College St the other day after work, only to find that the traffic lights were stuck in one position. Was it the Original Napster, hacking the traffic grid for a tricky heist involving Mini Coopers? Oh no. It was the Leader of the Free World, who shortly passed by with a huge entourage. Caught empty handed, I had one of those Note-to-Self moments, involving everything from tomatoes to rocket launchers.
Ben, i would love to hear your thoughts on Kill Bill.
Hope you’re well .h
