STYLE MUSING OF THE NIGHT

"You don't have to signal a social conscience by looking like a frump. Lace knickers won't hasten the holocaust, you can ban the bomb in a feather boa just as well as without, and a mild interest in the length of hemlines doesn't necessarily disqualify you from reading Das Kapital and agreeing with every word".

-- Elizabeth Bibesco, English writer and poet (1897 - 1945)

STYLE MUSING OF THE DAY
