Dear “It” bag,
I know, we shared many a out-of-body, existential, maudlin shopping experience at Barney’s, Bendel’s, Yoox.com and that one time in London @ the Marc Jacobs opening were (foolishly) I thought Pounds and Dollars were the same. I lost you, and you always came back to me. I too thought it would be until forever and I would have to be buried with a Stam. You literally carried me, as I carried you, through my French Underground- “Vive la résistance!” crazy person phase, validating my fashion warfare stance that one (one being myself) should only wear the French fashion houses: Lanvin, Dior, Lacroix, Gaultier, Chanel etc. etc. so on and so forth. But, I can no longer fight dirty, with excessive socially alienating symbols all over my person. Guerrilla-fur fashion warfare is excessive and to much look in a purse distracts from, well, me. I must be blunt; We are through. And yes, there is someone else.
He is called by many different names. He validates without alienation. He loves my legs. He is a shoe. I hope this post finds you well.

i’m limited and loyal to my shoes: gentle soul flats, doc boots, converse hightops, birkenstocks (only the “paris” design). soon to add nike dunks. but i do love the effect these other amazing shoes have – on me, the wearer, the clothing. magic.
