I don't know about you, but I'm getting a lot of emails from stores pushing the whole "look hot at home" angle. As in, don't stop buying our products just because the world is on lockdown. And I think, well, I'm one of those people who dresses up all the time, but even I don't wear heels to do dishes.
I am getting a new perspective on clothes and the role they play in my life, though. For example, it's weird how they can both expose and protect, kind of like a Madonna cone bra. Or, for the non-icons among us, something as seemingly simple as a day-glo pink sweater. The color exposes me/you as someone who's out there, but it protects me/you from others, too. As in, don't-mess-with-this-mama, she's out there; leave her be with her out-there thoughts.
In other words, like Colbert and those snarky sweatshirts, I was social distancing before it was cool.
Here's hoping that you go the distance too, whatever it means, whatever you do.
And also, in these days of isolation, that you don't morph into Dr. Seuss.
