Artist's Note:

Last week I wore a kimono for the first time. It was both the most beautiful and uncomfortable thing I have ever worn. Seriously, is this the secret to why Japanese women stay so thin? That their tight-ass kimonos prevent them from eating anything?

Still, wearing a kimono taught me a lot of things - about Japanese culture, history, and…that breathing is super important you guys. Like, I never knew how essential breathing was until my kimono almost crushed my ribcage.

It was still totes worth it. But next time, I'll see if spandex kimonos are an option.
