NICE GIRL
This backpack came from a pile of leftovers which didn' sell at a flea market. It was
free, and I claimed it immediately. It makes me feel like Zorro when he puts on his mask
and cape. Black is definitely a color as in no cream or sugar. In Tokyo it's also
camouflage. Anyhow, brown is really the new black. Haven't you heard?

I bought these shoes in Shibuya and I didn't go red! Black reminds me of work. Is it a
color or an attitude? Er... nope.

This sweater came from BI-NIC. I stayed well in the black. Black makes me feel
outstanding! It's more an attitude than a color - and that's a genki attitude, because
black is my color and I'm genki!
Black is beautiful

The style council has ruled: Bright's alright, but black is beautiful. There was a
moment when brown wore the crown but black is back as king of colors. Black says stylish,
sexy, slinky and sultry. Our roving reporter asks: What black item have you got and did
buying it put you in the red? How does black make you feel? But black's more than just a
color - it's an attitude. Isn't it?

I got this jacket in Australia, but it was actually made in Japan out of fishing wire and
wool. Did it put me in the red? I live in the red! Black makes me feel slinky and
sexy. Black is an attitude, a suit of armor and a state of mind.

My gloves are from a thrift store, bought for a thrifty price! Black makes me feel like a
pimp! Not really. It puts me in a humble but confident mood. It's both a color and an
attitude? During the day it's a color; at night it's an attitude.
