Last night was another First Friday, KCMO’s monthly art crawl through the Crossroads Art District. And February brings the annual erotic group show at the Slap-N-Tickle Gallery. The Slap-N-Tickle is a space I am prone to dressing up to attend; it is a great, fun, costume-encouraging kind of place…
Last night, I brought out the twins; an incredible vintage mink stole given to me by an acquaintance over my holiday travels. It is a stunning thing is surprisingly good shape for its age.
I seem to be on a path of becoming a holding of history in a sense. As well as thrifting through the recycled clothing world for the best of dandy things, I have landed in a place of gathering samples of clothing styles and histories. Even for the things I will not wear, or will not wear often, I am fond of this idea. It brings with it an echo of some of the more subtle concepts of green living. Recycling the past, from a time of remarkable product quality, while storing and preserving history is remarkable thing for me, and a journey to which I look forward.
A note about the other accessories: the jewelry at the peaks of my lapel are clip-on earrings, the sort with the thread posts that clamp snugly. The collar adornment is a sweater clip, a vintage item that barely moves through most vintage stores. I have a full range of them from fancy and crazy-loud to simply and understated…
I hope you enjoy.
Journey on, my lovelies!
