Just Tagging After Eve's Lungs

I haven’t had a good idea for a post since the last post. Well I had some ideas, but I bet you do not want to read any of my lame random questions about advertising and appliance repair services or rants about bent politics. For that reason (and because I enjoyed the answers at Eve’s Lungs) I am writing about my literary tastes prompted by this post.

My Artistic Vision

I want my designs to be unique, touchable, beautiful to see and comfortable to wear. I want designs that endure the current fashion colors and styles so that it will not end up under a pile of newer things by the end of the year.
