I think I did it too. Like a naïve puppy getting its first real scolding, 2021 has hit like a tonne of emotional bricks. See, I knew that it would not be any different aside from the dates changing over, but I think I wanted it to. Pretty natural considering our collective dire situation.

Yes. Yes, you can. I decided to skip the suspense because we have enough surprises - often horrible - in these times. Of course, you can pass. Just like the D.A.R.E. personal service announcement posters in my school urged, you just say no.

The couture collection presentations are in full swing and with couture comes luxury. The luxury brands, buyers, parties and, of course, fabrics were on opulent display. Silk, velvet, feathers, wool, and fur, to name a few such beautiful, textured fabrics. You know what those all have in common? They come from an animal. Za Za Zoo. Reviewing the couture presentations I started to think about how some people get very vocal about the animal products used in the collections.
