Eliza Starbuck, Day 15
Happy Fourth of July!
It’s easy to be cynical, but more worthwhile to remember why this nation was founded.
Around my neck is a broken fluorite heart which I wrapped in gold wire. It maybe broken, but it’s still good.
On my head is a newspaper crown I made out of the New York Times on the day of President Obama’s inauguration.
Around my waist is a red silk sash I got years ago at J.Crew. My skirt is vintage blue linen, which I found at the Salvation Army.
As I walked down the streets of my neighborhood dressed up for the Fourth of July, I got many reactions. Some people smiled and saluted me, some people commented on my crown, and as I passed one older Polish woman she shook her head and I thought I heard her mutter something along the lines of “America Kaput”.
I beg to differ – gotta love that freedom of speech!
can’t find anything to say but- lovely! so statue of liberty. way more elegant than my gun-USA pride!!!!! shot!
That crown is so beautiful- does not look like newspaper!
