The other day, I found my very own self on the verge of problematizing human body measurements in order to see them as a form of subtle yet all-pervasive oppression, and then I said, “Fuck it. Just drink Moet et Chandon Brut for two days and you won’t care that your Prada long-sleeve with the hundreds of teeny little grey revolvers on it can no longer be buttoned without evoking visions of a zeppelin in a condom.”

I feel the reverberations of your 2010 existential crisis at Creatures of Comfort, Cintra. I feel them keenly.
