Besides the scads of printouts I've taken home from the office, of various reports on the fashion week that just ended (thank god!), I'm reading Heart Of Darkness, the Joseph Conrad masterpiece, as well as a collection of shorts by Ernest Hemingway The Snows of Kilimanjaro. Both are rather butch, and I take it as a palette cleanser from the from the fashion overdose. Try it, it's wonderfully tonic. It's like cutting your hair real short after a spell of trying to keep the hair out of your eyes, with waxes and sprays, it feels suddenly light and heady. The picture is of Hemingway reading a letter, but it could very well illustrate something out of Conrad.
