Never judge the others for each one wears a cover for their version of the original. (talking about individuals in the stream of consciousness that gives rise to each one of us.)
Individual events. Events beyond law. Events so numerous and so uncoordinated that, flaunting their freedom from formula, they yet fabricate firm form.
I would say probably my least favorite costume ever was in 'Van Helsing.' That was a huge pain because it had thigh-high boots with 30 buckles on them that had to be done up individually.
