Never be afraid to stop traffic.
jewelry
Jewelry is the most transformative thing you can wear.
nice looks hot
I love a nice hot pink. I like thick lipstick, otherwise it doesn't look like you're wearing any.
minimalist
I'm not a minimalist, as I'm sure you've noticed.
well-dressed wells comfortable
It's better to be happy and comfortable than well dressed.
kindness simple phones
Technologically I live in the 17th century. I have a very simple cell phone. I say I live through the kindness of strangers, because if they see something on the Net they type it out and send it to me.
connections looks use
I live in the 17th century. I don't have a computer. I don't look at the internet. I use a cellphone, and that's about my only connection to the modern world.
economic industry itself neglecting time
The fashion industry has done itself in by neglecting the 60- to 80-year-old market. They have the time and the economic resources. They want to go shopping.
annoyed dressed people running time
I don't get dressed up every day. I'm very busy. I get really annoyed when people talk about me as a 'fashionista.' I get dressed up when I have to go out. Most of the time, I'm running around in jeans.
agonize might throw
I have ideas that I think might be amusing, and I try them, and if they look right, I carry them out, and if they don't, I throw them out and try something else. I don't agonize about it.
standard
I get very involved with my things, and they are not standard equipment.
technology violently
Technology is a wonderful thing, but I think it's violently misused.
