Dressing down is a crime against humanity.

If there is such a person on the planet, then he or she-this self-appointed arbiter of “appropriateness”-deserves to be confronted with as many “inappropriate” transgressions as possible.

All over America, people are making kamikaze choices about what to wear. They are misrepresenting the goods. They are letting their clothes write checks that their personalities cannot cash.

Architects are the new comedians.

Why be formal when you can be fabulously feral? Why be conventional when you can be happy?

Why the hell wouldn't you want to be one of the fabulous people, the life enhancers, who look interesting and smell luscious and who dare to be gorgeously more fascinating than their neighbors?

The important thing is not to be masochistic. Women are so hard on themselves. Don't do that. No one is keeping score.
