from a pair of
SHORT SHORTS to a triangle
BANDANA, and from a
BUCKLE BELT to an aged
KEY CHAIN, y'all know my love for anything with an anchor is undying. is it because i crave for the adventures of a seafarer? oh hell no! i puke like linda blair in the exorcist whenever i travel by sea. but what anchor symbolizes is quiet poetic; it conveys positive connotations of security and stability; moreover, a harbor against cunty stormy weathers. the christians used the anchor as a hidden secret cross back in the days while they were under the persecution by the romans. and in the yesteryears, an anchor tattoo worn by sailors was a symbol for being grounded or tied down to a significant other. kate moss has a little one on her right wrist ... below are some anchor goodies i got recently and some inspirations from the 2012 fall winter menswear arena
a whistle key chain from
CAT BIRD & a soap from
SAVE HAVEN

a
THOM BROWNE 2012 f/w catwalk image that haunts me in a hot way, just like what tate in american horror story did in season 1
