Antique Lover's Knot Hairpin (Edwardian 1900s)

She’s repulsed by mass production, which to her means any object made in an edition of five or more. She won’t tell you where she got her sunglasses, or even what search terms she used. She thinks poets shouldn’t have day jobs, but she’s engaged to a partner at Merill Lynch- “it works because we don’t pretend to own one another.” She cut her hair into a shaggy pixie last month, after her two foot long braid got caught in the subway door (she was so distracted reading Jean Stein’s Edie Sedgwick biography.) But, much to her delight, she has found that her exposed neck “really allows my pendants to take on a more prominent role. I’m never going back.” She really did mean it, until she saw this and was filled with bitter regret.
