Red accessories
I had to include this color shots, mainly because those red accessories are so good. Remember what Miss Clairee said. "The only thing that separates us from the animals is our ability to accessorize."
In fact, that flippant and camp remark is not that far from the truth. Some animals use language and tools - some anthropologists now think that some of the higher primates may have now entered the Stone Age - but what really separates homo sapiens from the animal kingdom is the ability to see themselves as the "other". The whole lesson of the Golden Rule - Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself - is that it forces us to look down on ourselves and see ourselves and our actions objectively, while the animal kingdom is lost in subjectivity. To accessorize is to see oneself as others do.
