📸What if The Thinker Worked in a Costume Shop?

Caught somewhere between *art installation* and *accidental fashion icon*, this is the oldest photo on my iPhone—taken October 12, 2024, in the costume shop at the theatre 🎭. I’m wearing my silver-gold sequin Zara jacket (second hand from Vinted ✨), my fave camo pants 🪖, and white-soled trainers (RIP—they now live at the theatre's shoe department 👟👋). I’m sitting like Rodin’s *The Thinker*, but surrounded by glitter, red panties, and a neon pink toy bunny 🐰💗 I found ages ago in a charity shop. Gift? Forgotten present? No idea.

Behind me: a costume rack of “almosts”—outfits prepped for the show but never used 👗. A mannequin in a red sequin bustier and matching panties keeps silent watch 💃. It's 11:45 AM—probably a Saturday or Sunday matinee prep 🕚☕.  

I started buying second-hand during *TOOTSIE* and honestly, I don’t even remember my pre-thrift wardrobe anymore ♻️👕. Most of what I wear now has a past, a story, and some sparkle. Like this jacket. Like this moment. Like this me 💫.  

Sometimes the forgotten photos hold the most unexpected stories. And yes, the bunny is still with me.

Me, a pink bunny 🐇, a bedazzled mannequin, and backstage theatre chaos
