Beware! A choker is a statement and a responsibility. Read all about it and try not to choke on it because chokers gonna choke!
As a simple, black strap, with a cross or a heart attached to it, the choker seems to have been taken for granted by the entire world. But you see, clothes are not just clothes and even if I’m so pro everyone doing and wearing whatever they want, as long as they’re not ass*oles, obviously, I, at times, feel like standing up for stuff. That is not just stuff.
Many years have passed since I last saw Leon, one of my all time favourite movies (and names), and it is today that I just saw Natalie Portman playing Mathilda, again. I am, today, just as I was, many years ago, in awe of Natalie, so, I decided to write about it, about the real s*it going on in the ‘90s. Stuff that succeeds to stand the test of time must be the real s*it, it’s just so powerful. There’s no two ways about it. Think of the Stan Smith’s Adidas sneakers. Or the Levis’s’ 501.
It’s the stuff that can achieve statement status. But you see, statements are not just statements. In order to wear a statement, you’d better really feel the statement, taste the statement. Just like you do with a rainbow. A statement is a responsibility. You don’t just wear a statement. You make it look like you invented it.
Like Natalie Portman did in Leon. Or like Catherine Zeta Jones did in Zorro. Or like Winona did back in the days. Or like you do you.
It has to be authentic. Everything has. And, even if you didn’t invent the choker, you little tricker, the mere fact that you love it too much to take it off your neck has to shine on your face, has to make your body move in a specific way. It doesn’t let you breathe anymore, but who cares? It’s how much you love it and it loves you.
Well, it’s a choker, after all, it’s not supposed to let you breathe properly.
I only wore it in the 2000s and I don’t remember the exact moment my love of it was ignited, but here I am, flying the flag. Trend was not yet a trending word and people were feeling more rather than trending. No?
Oh, just breathe!
Or be breathtaking.
