When BC says "all the colors," he means pinks and yellows.
Yellow. (The flash diminishes the transparency of this jacket, the fabric of which is the perfect merging of wax paper and Saran. Almost "like tissue paper.")
Pinks and yellows.
Yellow. Erk, whose loved ones discouraged him from investigating overalls, instead adopts slender braces.
The color of tulips.
I know that, sadly, I sport no fake Russian broadtail coats: my spring fashions mainly entail some new tees and a couple of windbreakers (which I'm wearing outside and inside, as if they were hoodies). Spring in Madison disappears in a wink-- quickly becoming summer heat. Which is why I focus on the tee. It's is also why my summer planning aspires to Macumban breezes, etc.: light accessories (feathers, braces) that will add minimum warmth to an outfit. Also, I'm a student and not making enough money for extravagant purchases.

How to incorporate the nap into a runway walk? I love how sleep (and inverted, upside-down sleep, at that!) exhibits your spring collection.
Fashion that falls asleep while reading.
Kenneth was right about the overalls, although I'm still working the coveralls.
I need braces.
One of my favorite things about the Cunningham is that there isn't the slightest trace of cynicism in his voice, any "I've seen it all before," even though he has -- pure delight in color and sight itself, the new in now --
At one point in high school I wore overalls atop a white union suit to class and was heavily chided. Three years later at the university I wore overalls to class with nothing under them. No one said a word.
My experience suggests that the university seems to be the perfect place for a man and his over all investigation.
Miss Kinder Garten Tooknap,
You are so right re: BC's inspiring exuberance. Thanks for highlighting that. I hereby vow to channel it whenever I'm feeling low and cranky. The only nay-saying he does is in response to nay-sayers: They claim we don't need spring coats, but of course we need spring coats!!
He understands that fashion is change, ebb and flow, rhythm, ergo tapped into the structure of the universe as we currently understand it.
Josh Blaker looked amazing in overalls. But his legs are a gazillion miles long. I, with my Britney-esque stumps, am better off without them, I think. Interestingly enough, both Bradford and Kenneth directed me toward the coverall in response to my overall inquiries.
PS - Otto on my Saran/waxpaper windbreaker: "It's like a condom!"
Bruce said that Cunningham's voice reminded him of Jimmy Schuyler -- I think because of its thrill and revel in color, color's relation to the day, today --
Josh Blaker in overalls: ! ! ! It was all about his legs, wasn't it? Amazing, since overalls accentuates torso, how his lanky step made the whole thing fly.
Terry once wore overalls with no shirt, while playing a hayseed in a student film. Actually, he used to wear that around the house quite frequently.
The Saran-cum-waxpaper windbreaker is amazing. Prophylactic, prophetic.
Maybe MC could make one out of parchment paper! It could be our cake cult devotional garb (but only for special occasions, due to fragility)!
please forgive grammatical errors in the above posting. I hate that blogger doesn't allow for comment editing, only deletion, which is sooooo obvious.
Ugh: I know-- I waste so much time fretting over comments I can't revise. Blech! In the end, I think it's best to accept the comment as a form of discourse in which a slushy level of grammatical correctness is acceptable. Something akin to speech. I think that's at the root of my previous Miss Marple confusion-- I just assumed that the commas were being sprinkled casually.
Around the time Ereck was talking about overalls we saw a guy wearing them, and to me they just looked kind of schlumpy and shapeless. If I've learned anything from Stacy London, it's that clothes should fit.
The worst thing about that guy's overalls: they were tight in the ass, crotch, & upper leg and loose in the torso. The combo was most unbecoming. I think he was the deciding factor.
