I'm in a mosquito mood this week: must scratch the itch of my irritation w/the fashion industry. So I just went to Nordstrom's website, and lately I've been in the mood for charmeuse. Char-meuse. It's musical, no? And so shiny and silky, even when it's polyester. So I see a shirt I like, and it only comes in a size 8, fuck you very much. Everything else that is charmeuse has gigantic Byronesque bows and otherwise looks like something Suellen would have worn on "Dallas" in about 1983.

But I did come across one item that made me smile: it was a big sweater coat, and the name of the style was "Budapest Daydream." It's so trippy. All the leaves are brown/and the Danube's grey....
