“8:55 p.m. In a cab headed back to Brooklyn. It was weird being alone at the shows, and frustrating to not be able to form intelligent opinions about what I’m seeing. “Those sleeves are long.” I wonder if Mr. Hilfiger knew I was wearing a pair of his company’s underwear that I bought at a Marshall’s near my parents’ house. Probably not.

“What it means to be human is to bring up your children in safety, educate them, keep them healthy, teach them how to care for themselves and others, allow them to develop in their own way among adults who are sane and responsible, who know the value of the world and not its economic potential.
