Heir piece

Huge thanks with frills and rare buttons on to Andrea Quinlan for hosting my piece, 'Tagged' over at Story Bought Dress.

The piece is less a fiction than an elaborate analogy of how vintage wear makes me feel. I love that each item carries a memory of its past - that by my wearing of a piece I can evoke a sort of haunting - but in the best way - and acquire the experience of the life of an other through their garments. And it's the sort of not quite one thing or another writing that I love to indulge in, therefore I am grateful to Andrea for indulging me!

Like old things

Big pan or leetle feet?

I like old things, they make me feel




young.



I like that they have lived

and show it and I have not

and do not.



Each scratch only adds to their appeal.

If I revealed my imperfections

I would be considered



damaged.



But I am not for looking at

like old things.
