OK so, I have a story . . ..
about the picture above. As you all know, I think, my sis and I had a recycled clothing boutique, the first of it’s kind- in Florence. We opened about 10 years ago and one of our first collections was made of recycled T-shirts (of course!). One day a fine young lass walked into our store really diggin our digs and we asked if she would model for us for our first runway show in a castle in a beach town called Grossetto, not far from Florence. She (of course!) obliged and, well we hadn’t seen or heard from her since- that is until my first day of Burning Man!! Yes, I arrive at my glorious camp; Laughing MOnkeys and who approached me but this woman “Faith, is that you? from Italy? Compai?”- and then it hits me- that’s her our first model from our very first runway show in Italy is here- before my eyes- and not only but what is she wearing?! Yes, the recycled t-shirt skirt we made for her for the show. She said “Faith this is my favorite skirt in the world I wear it all the time!” Wow, 10 years later at Burning Man of all places- this world is a funny wonderful place.
On that note, have an utterly blissful weekend Compaistas!
