I think the entire thing.

I m just so fascinated

with what the approach to the theme will be.

We were talking about this in the car.

Like, is it about a punk attitude?

Is it about the specific time period referred to as punk.

Yep.

I think there s a lot of mysteries to be unveiled.

Absolutely.

the vintage Westword.

I think it s all about how each person interprets it.

You know there s,

it is the attitude.

There s the whole political movement that was from England

A good excuse to spit inside the museum.

Inappropriate behavior.

your look tonight?

We did kind of a trans-atlantic fitting-

We did via the iPad.

Via Facetime.

It was definitely a very modern fitting.

And my dog ate a safety pin during my fitting

which is punk!

Yes.

That is so punk!

I know. I know.

Do you have any safety pins on tonight?

We decided to think more about punk

as sort of an odd mix of eras.

Kind of what you expose and what you hide.

We went with a more meta analysis of punk.
