Consoling
Garments to soothe, protect and embrace the betrayed and abandoned but still hopeful citizen.Soft, luscious things to wear to the library or bookstore in the course of becoming an informed and thoughtful voter.
Also good for afternoon protests and evening lectures, and particulary useful for extended hours of coffee or wine or what have you,
long discussions bathed in smoke and passion and frustration.
Clothing pulls off easily should sparring turn flirtatious
and sex seem like a good way to banish things that hurt to think on.
For safety's sake, trade the chattering t-shirt for a well-fitting turtleneck,
in almost any neutral color--black, white, cream, camel, brown--
for less friendly environments.
