​

b. a. rose collections have been wildly inaccessible in the past ‘cos the lil punk bumpkin designer artist & muses

love tits hanging out, lotsa sideboob, cock socks, wardrobe malfunctions, raw edges, ugly finishings on beautiful bodies, unwearable art made of semi-truck innertube tires, and the like that is “Fashion.”

gender: woman 
​
class: low because i'm a woman & garment worker; but i was raised upper-middle in "bedroom communities" to the richest resort towns in the world; that led to higher depression rates than the national average because we compared ourselves to the richest rich (i helped to conduct a sociological study on this my senior yr of hs)

culture: Colorada-Siciliana-Americana matriarch Nana (east coast Italian-American is a whole different animal - just sayin'- & get your Mafia stereotypes off me, by the way, basta, grazie, kis kiss) instilled a strong sense of Italianness into our American identity; always feeling uncomfortable with the WASPy side of the family who were primarily ranchers & farmers; raised in a tiny mountain town, questioning religion & the corporate monster of a ski resort (while enjoying the privileges of living next to a world-class resort), raised with the stories of Lovers Leap, a Ute tale, & Navajo cousins; growing up next to an abandoned mining town; with the knowledge that industries fade, men die, & before they do, they leave scars all over mountains in search of riches, when they were blind to the bountiful beauty that surrounded them
