You're so right.

The fact that I'm alive, you know, that's so funny.

That's exactly how I feel.

I think that's what the leather jacket does for me.

The leather jacket and, you know, like a chunky chain and some, you know, stompy boots that make me feel like I can get out and dance and, you know, take ownership of my life again.

I think, yeah, anti-blob mode.

I love that.

Oh, that's a great question.

I think I do want to say Simone.

Because I've been wearing her clothes for a long time.

And there's something about, you know, the contrast between that femininity and, you know, the embroidery and the pearls and that delicate quality with, you know, the slightly more oversized silhouettes and the stompy boots.

And I think, as a human being, I think that masculinity and femininity are always...

you know, constantly tussling and come to the forefront in me differently on different days.

And I think the one I'm wearing, Simone, I feel like I can, you know, both can occupy me and I feel like I'm wearing both at once.

And I really love that.

Yeah.

Definitely.

And I think I've always felt that way about her clothes.

As you say, there is this kind of daring, but this really strong North Star.

It doesn't feel like being provocative as a costume or anything.
