so in my About Me i say i believe in owning fewer things and things i can own for a lifetime. i hope i can create objects like that, my purses for instance. under consideration always: quality, what has gone into the entire manufacturing process and the environmental impact. and my happiness. why do it if i’m not happy?

but how does something become almost “eternal”. first of all it has to last. and it has to work. but the design? some objects just cut through the fat. they are unique enough, simple enough or embellished enough. they are perfectly skewed to your taste and wardrobe. they are personal. right?

i love thrifting and i take great pride in looking like i spend a lot on my clothes but i don’t at all. which is sort of ridiculous. what i mean is, i love to fool people. when they scan me and can’t figure out if i am money or not. which is still ridiculous but anyway… there is this object i have loved for a long time. and it isn’t cheap. it is an expensive object. and beautiful and well crafted. it hints lightly at sadism and ownership in a way only the french can. in that it never says it by name and somehow manages to come off as very establishment.

voila!

the Cartier love bracelet. lock it on your baby for life. i want one but i guess what i really want are two. but not that badly!
