And even factory-built student guitars like the Takamine were much better made 40+ years ago. The cheap plywood Yamaha C80s that beginner classical-guitar students play today are analogous to the tissue-thin "fast fashion" throw-away clothing they buy at places like Forever 21 or Zara: just future landfill. 🙁

Sharing our latest creation from the workshop here in Sialkot, Pakistan! 🇵🇰

This is our red crocodile-embossed leather kilt. It's a hybrid design that combines the texture of genuine leather with traditional tartan pleats. Each one is handcrafted and made to order, so you can choose your exact size and favorite tartan pattern.

With permission I wore my festival outfit (甚平, jimbei) to give a presentation in Kyōto on "Gion Matsuri and Japanese Festivals"! After dressing professionally for 105 different academic presentations, this was the first time to cosplay! I love trying new or mischievous things. Cosplay was actually one of the discussion topics along with traditional Japanese clothing. There was a balance of lecture, group discussions, and many questions that I had welcomed. Many of the California college students, here briefly to study abroad, sincerely thanked me afterwards, with words like "awesome." I went all out to prepare the slideshow and to delight the audience with both depth and humor.

Been saving this for a bit to share and see what you think. If I actually spent money for a pair of these shorts/cut-offs, someone who knows me well should do a check on me to be sure I still have all my marbles. If I learned a granddaughter thought these shorts were worth the money to buy, I would think I was an utter failure to have not conveyed to them young enough that one can do well without buying brand-name clothing and consider how to make the same thing. Oh, I don't know, maybe by CUTTING OFF a pair of jeans you already own and are worn out. Yikes! #Clothing #Shorts #Levis

“When women are in sport, it’s almost like you’re not meant to have boobs,” says Bright, who remembers girls in her school bullied for the size of their breasts. “It’s like, ‘Oh, you play sports, so you’re athletic, you’re strong, you shouldn’t have boobs.’ That’s not the way it works.”
