I owe that title to Anne. Because it is so APROPOS.
Found this Oleg Cassini beaded silk shirt for $13 at Goodwill. It weighs approximately 100 pounds. It smites me, thinking of the hours of hand-sewing that went into it.
I have extra appreciation because of the big patch of repair needed (above) and how I sort of fixed it (below).
Not really into a lot of the beaded things I see. Too much of nothing, really. (Can make a man feel ill at ease....)
