Dear Gabriele Adler (Dress 71)

Dear Gabriele Adler
What a gorgeous name- you sound like a stunning brunette frenchwoman in her early thirties, who curates exhibitions of modern art and plays the cello in her spare time, who has fine papery skin and a long aquiline nose- a mash between Charlotte Gainsbourg and Madeleine Peyroux.
But what you are is four and a half kilos of metal and (very old) plastic.

Meet my (little used but much loved) Typewriter.
(Cotton with hand-printed screen stencils in two shades of grey on white, and in white and grey on black.)
All my love,
