Those extra long ears (certainly longer than I had ever seen before), that cute-as-a-button nose and the colour as pink as the underbelly of a newborn piglet. I knew I had to own it.
The French call it lapin.
I call it mine.
A better day for going to Hackney Farm and eating sandwiches.
Shoes with heels are worn by female people, for the purpose of doing the Man Trap Dance. When you wear these shoes, you are The Greatest Dancer.
This Art Deco relic has a high arch, like the back of a stretching kitten. The elegant, geometric cut-outs are both Feminine and Strong. It has a steeped platform toe and a sculpted heel, which enable the short female wearer to appear taller.
This is a shoe that says: Success.
Before you were born, precious papers containing Secrets were stored and carried in clandestine cast iron vaults protected by mystery, mirth and tiny, evil, monkey-people. The only way to access these precious documents was to dance The Magic Dance.
Over time, such security measures became unnecessary; the Secrets were no longer at risk. So something much more practical was born; something smaller, something portable, something like a small, rectangular, leather box that could be opened, and closed: The Elkington.
The Elkington comes with a fully functioning buckle fastening that allows you to buckle it – fast; with detachable straps that you can take off, and put back on again, and with an inside and an outside.
You’ll see this bag being carried in Tokyo, New York, Forks and Milan .
Ric asked me to sit down at his table. I hadn’t seen him for a while, and i noticed that he was tan. “Where were you?” I asked.
“Oh, I’ve been in Hawaii, shooting for playgirl magazine.”
