I can’t think of anything more relevant or appropriate to write about than the world’s perpetual obsession with labels. No, not the labels you’re thinking of (Gucci, Prada, Fendi, although they serve as perfect examples), but the labels we subscribe to and shape our lives around every single day, and without even realizing it.

‘I always tell the girls: never take it seriously. If you never take it seriously, you never get hurt. If you never get hurt, you’ll always have fun. And if you ever get lonely, just go to the record store and visit your friends.’
