My diamond necklace my boyfriend bought me. It’s always close to my heart and I feel as if something is missing if I don’t wear it. It makes me feel complete.

A toss up between two ubercool items: my Bjorn Borg black boyshorts (BB have a send your ‘not sexy’ underwear to a warmonger campaign which you can see on their website) and my black Sailor Jerry ‘Bianca’ t shirt. Cool as. All SJ’s stuff is sourced and manufactured locally so noone gets fucked over in the process. I think the shorts win, But then again …

oh, and sunblock!!!

I wouldn’t probably be the first one to say that if I had to make that choice it would be my own SKIN.

But I want to share with you few reasons:

First, it protects my soul that has become very environment conscious and friendly, always considering the fact that we are not the only creatures on our beautiful planet.

Second, it is a very important part of my body, freed from any cruelty fashion, food or cosmetic products.

Third, it mirrors my lifestyle and exposes the truth about my heart. My heart, that feeds on love to our planet rather than ignorance and brutality.

It is soft, sensitive, comforting… just beautiful.

my ‘dopey’ tee shirt, it is so old and comfy and long enough to cover everything that needs covering

my peta tshirt….one with the chicken is a friend not food because its cute, comfy and chickens deserve more respect and love!! People would be shocked and disgusted if cats and dogs were treated the same way. Also makes me smile when other veggies are happy to see me wearing it.

My bamboo bathrobe because it’s so soft and cosy and it’s sustainably sourced. (Did you know that bamboo can grow around a metre a day so plenty for clothing and food for the pandas!)

Definately a smile :) Its infectous, goes a long way and makes everyone feel happy and confident within themselves. If you smile at someone they then smile and the person they smile at is now smiling. We just need everyone to smile and we would all be living in a happy and friendly world :)

Considering I have many more years ahead of me and that all clothes eventually wear out, I would choose absolutely nothing!
If we didn’t wear any clothes - when it’s warm… :) ,- we could finally, for the first time, see past other people’s appearance and really see each other as we truly are !

My Krypto the superdog t-shirt! Its too big for me yet should be worn by someone twenty years younger-it shows my love of comics which I never grew out of, because they showed me theres always an alternative way of thinking-probably why I became a vegetarian!

posted by Denise on October 1st, 2008 at 1:50 pm

For the rest of my life
What shall I shall wear?
Most of my garments
Are becoming threadbare

If I wore my heart on my sleeve
I’d die of a cold
Or possibly boredom from
Being constantly told:

“cover it up -
you’re not very thin
Nobody wants to see
Your freckly, pale skin”

Au contraire mon amie
Bourgeois Boheme has shown me
All I need on this flesh
Is an accessory
Or two - maybe three

So for the rest of my life
I’ll look fabulous and chic
Wearing only Borgeois Boheme
From their online boutique.

posted by Barbara Smith on October 1st, 2008 at 3:49 pm

A great big boiler suit to cover all my bits and bobs!
