Love and scandal are the best sweeteners of tea.  ~Henry Fielding, “Love in Several Masques”

I am, I’m too fabulous
I’m so fierce that it’s so nuts
I live, to be model thin
Dress me, I’m your mannequin
…
Fashion put it all on me
Don’t you want to see these clothes on me
Fashion put it all on me
I am anyone you want me to be 

Basically I am in pure lust over this outfit.
