Anna Sui, the love of my life

      Alas, how to break the news to the countless suitors begging at my doorstep? I seem to have fallen in love, in love with a 46 year old Asian-American woman whose name is Anna Sui.
This woman has a way with clothes. Her patterns, her colors; it's all a wonder of the visual sense. I don't think I've fallen so hard for a brand since Betsey Johnson came into my life at age 7, or Alexander McQueen at age 14.

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.

I love thee to the depth and breadth and height

My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight

For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.

I love thee to the level of everyday's

Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.

I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;

I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.

I love thee with a passion put to use

In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.

I love thee with a love I seemed to lose

With my lost saints, --- I love thee with the breath,

Smiles, tears, of all my life! --- and, if God choose,

I shall but love thee better after death.

Oh, Anna, if only I could convey my love of your genius in words of my own....

With Love,

ARK
