I practice weaving
Words into fine #taffeta
Ends up as denim

Wither the aging prom queen
desperately cramming into her faded
#taffeta gown

Gone are the last vestiges
of youthful vanity

Once awash in popularity
the belle of the ball
was this former nubile beauty
but Time and Gravity
tarnished her crown
as they now mock her relentlessly
with every
smeared mirrored reflection

Let her current misery
serve as fair warning
to every smug
young diva princess
dancing high above the crowd
in the popularity clouds

Put down that makeup case
and work on developing
your personality
lest ye too
become a lonely
bitter relic
haunted by the lost glories
of fleeting yesterdays
that no longer fit

“Your mother would love an excuse to dress up in #taffeta,” said Jin. “But we’re doing this for Lee-jin, acknowledging both his names.”
“That’s sorted then,” said Mia.
“That was way too easy,” said Ari. “You really think this will work?”
“It’s right for him,” said Jin. #vss365

"Black opium" è un abito femminile #1890 che ho ricavato dagli avanzi di una commissione e di una produzione del "Don Carlo" di Verdi a cui lavorai nel 2018; in aggiunta, le maniche ed il pannello anteriore del #corpetto sono tagliati da uno scampolo di #taffeta vinto ad un'asta su eBay durante la pandemia.

Persino il #cappello è realizzato con vari ritagli di #tessuto ed irrobustito da un pezzo di flacone in plastica #riciclato.
