this reminded me of that time
this reminded me of that time that Steve was going on about how he used to wear shorts under his tights, so I thought I'd share:
"Sometimed when I walk through the East Village, I feel a gust of nostalgia for 1993when I first moved to New York and lived with my artsy friend Jill in a two-bedroom on 12th Street. It was a carefree, de-gorgeous era, when I often wore girl’s-size thermals printed with snowflakes or flowers and $3 thrift store bell-bottoms. I even knotted my hair in Bjork buns. I suppose we can all get lost in our nostalgia, no matter how dumb we looked." --Mike Albo from the New York Times in "Come out of your cave and get used to the price."

this is fantastic beth! thank you for sharing. btw, we started selling spray paint at the art store and i have decided i want to do some stenciling on my car (possibly of emily dickinson--no joke). i would love for it to be a collaboration.
i believe steve wore his shorts OVER his tights, but i could be wrong.
and siri ... i think the entire world (well, the hip, literate contingent at least) will envy your automobile. it's like pimp my ride for the nerd set. just beware .... i fear the strangers may ask you for tours of amherst, though that could be a rather amusing and possibly lucrative hobby.
tights are making a comeback in '99!
