I cannot say whose presence is more prominent in this dress that I would give up, say, 80% of my wonderful wardrobe to own [& then, of course, need to wear to shreds]. In my never particularly humble but often accurate opinion, the greatest studio costume designer of all time, Mr Adrian I did not think could be improved upon by ANY particular printmaker, famous painter, coprophagist, confused neo-fascist, scenester & instructor of my father at Cooper Union, notw/standing. But he could. For a seemingly single moment Salvador D:Gilbert A as Celia B:Ossie C & this, indeed, effectively & profoundly. Before or after the painter's more famous Hollywood filmic association w/ Alfred Hitchcock, I know not off the top of my head. I could look it up but I'm too tired, too overwhelmed w/ work.

As anyone who is anyone [& who has read anything anywhere about me over the not so recent past] knows, the person w/ whom I live is a drummer. Semi-problematic, true, but in ways unusual for the profession [& I would know]. Impossible, yes, but one makes choices based on all sorts of criteria, some, in my case, that might elude those kayaking over the more mainstreams among us. True, this is my life. However: False, I think, that these are rhinestone BONGO drums. Bongo drums are paired & linked [just like so many of us sad persons]. These seem to be more conga, more Lucy, more 40s, less Beat [beatnik to the younger semi-cognoscenti]. I dunno. Maybe someone else spousally attached to someone more into the field of Latin percussion would appreciate them more than do I. Or someone enchanted w/ Ricky & his Babalu Boychiks [another fifties appending affectation]. More Xavier, Vegas & Charo than Ginsberg & the determined unwashed. Cool, tho, in their way.
