S: close-fitting clothes are the new fashion my love, the latest in urban chic, just try them on – see how you feel
CH: why would I want to constrict… I’m not taking the risk… what’s wrong with ones I’ve always worn?

truthfully I cannot remember, it must have been in one of the thousands of books I’ve read… most times I’m just as surprised when I remember details as such. my mind seems to somewhat recollect when I need a metaphor or something to base a comparison on.

I read multiple books at once – at times more than ten contemporaneously – a few pages here, a few there and mostly academic books.
