Today's post is a mini exploration of unintended accessories, the "things we hold", that define our styles. It is not just the obvious accessory, such as a purse, that can function as an adornment and speak to we are, our personal style, values, and social status. A cigarette, a hand mirror, a gun, a skateboard - these inanimate items held in our hands speak volumes about who we are. They help define how the world perceives our image aesthetically.
As a side note, the guy with the gun looks overwhelmingly like a Spanish ex-boyfriend of mine. He was the primary drug trafficker for the small Spanish city we lived in...dreamy. Oh to be 19 years old, stupid, and blindingly in love again.
