Behind The Aesthetic: Personal Style
I love questions: asking them, pondering them, answering them. Almost every post I write, both here and at The Demoiselles, shows my passion for reexamining the obvious.

What About Wednesday: Erik Satie
[[Every so often, I ask a single bleary-eyed question: “What about Wednesday?” It’s my day to post whatever the hell I feel like, with no regard to fashion, eco-consciousness or, occasionally, even coherent thoughts.
