safety pins...they aren't just for diapers anymore

I have this uncanny knack of always being on the wrong end of a fashion trend. For example, I just cleaned out my clothes closet and pitched a bizillion mismatched buttons and safety pins that I had accumulated in my jewelry box. And then I see some of Tommy Ton's street pics from Paris fashion week.

grrrrrrr...

But, I have to say that I love it when something as plain and ordinary as a safety pin, rises to epic status as the next fashion must have. You go safety pin! Just remember your humble beginnings and don't let it go to your head.
