Summed Up






If you had to write your own food or fashion biography, where you were to sum up your life in 10 distinctive moments that relate back to the meal consumed or outfit worn, which one's would you choose.
There's great significance in the choices we make and when it comes to fashion, this is something even Ian Thorpe uttered in the (sydney) magazine when he said that "we get dressed everyday, I may as well take an interest in it." With food in mind, there's cakes for special occasions too. Take for instance your favourite cake that you had when you were a child, hopefully one stands out.
There are significant moments for those who suffer alergies, when they discover there's a long lost favourite that they can now devour (at warped speed) to their hearts content. And there are special memories stored in a food bank when they remember all the delights they used to indulge in. I'd have to go with mint slice, or a banoffie pie, or baked ricotta cheesecake from Pasticeria Papa's, or peanut M&M's, or triple choc fudge brownies, ok Tegan, take a breath. Oh, the list is endless.
Same goes for people who part with certain pieces in their wardrobe for different reasons altogether. Say you don't fit it anymore, but sentimentality lets you hold onto it for just that little bit longer, it can be like saying goodbye to a cherished friend.
Think about it, it's your 'walking signature', what 10 delicacies and drapes define your past to date.
