Success/ Dress

Okay. The important things. Fashion. If the economy's failed, do you still need to dress for success?

Or, do you:

1.) Spend all day in your pajamas.

2.) Spend all day in your exercise clothes.

3.) Go stark naked because you're going stark raving mad.

4.) Re-gift the clothes.

Let's talk about 4.)

There's Career Gear.






Very very very good cause. I gave them clothing a few weeks ago. Let someone else have a crack at cracking the nut. Here's two suits, one jacket, four trousers and whatever I forgot to take out of the pockets.

And, there's Derick Melander. He's an artist who makes art out of second-hand clothing. The New Great Depression. I promised you art.













Melander has work in "Queens International 4" at the Queens Museum of Art (yes, there is), a kind of 'biennale' concept for Queens. Like - brick-oven pizza.

Derick explains that he's collaborating with Goodwill, who are donating (that gives me the kind of vertigo that makes me want to black out) a bin outside the museum where you can donate clothing which Derick takes inside and folds neatly and makes an art piece out of, and furthers his career (with gear), and then donates the 'piece' of clothing back to Goodwill.




















Will the circle be unbroken? Apparently - not.

FYI, Goodwill now runs an e-Bay-like online auction on its site, and as of tonight, there was a 'Kate Spade floral purse' up for grabs.








$42.11 US, at last look. Brother, can you spare a thousand dollars?

It might go nicely with a dress for success.

Thank you for listening, ma'am.
