Disco inspired shirts in a paddock? That is culture, to me.

  1. Thank you for at least beginning and ending with photos that I can understand. The pics of King Princess and Cara Delevingne just make me feel old and confused.

    And not really in a wow, I honor and appreciate my power and experience type feeling old. More like, WTF is up with the young people?! type old. Like, ok, if you think that looks good, sure you can wear it/post it type old. Like, OMG, when did I start sounding like my mother? type old.
