Officer of Monkey Problems

Stuff I'm thinking about. Nothing too fancy. I credit images whenever possible and you should, too.

Movies, music, art, birds, bunnies (for Sonateharder), the before-times, stuff happening in Toronto. I'll try to keep cat pictures to a minimum.

 Piaggi lived life in colour, a protagonist of more-is-more, bigger, brighter and bolder.

In 2006 her philosophy was celebrated with an exhibition of her expansive wardrobe at the V&A; mixing high and low, couture, ready-to-wear, found, uniform and custom.Here we revisit Dazed & Confused issue 77, May 2001 and Piaggi’s appearance as part of a Men’s Fashion Special edited by Alister Mackie. In the feature, Piaggi contemplates her ideal man, posing beachside with a troupe of surfers. Rest in Peace, Anna. I know this will sound cliche, but her life was her art.
