"...a great variety of morbid symptoms appear" - Antonio Gramsci

"The crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new cannot be born; in this interregnum a great variety of morbid symptoms appear."
A psychiatrist would probably see something deeply depressing in my fixation with skulls...but, really, can anything be truly depressing when it's covered in gold vermeil and is made by a company called Tylie Malibu (which I would like to think is the name of Barbie's prescription drug addicted neighbor but is, in fact, a California based bag and accessory company).

Oh dear, that Barbie comment would probably cause an analyst some anxiety as well...		Photobucket

    Oh, that's gorgeous. I especially like that there's a matching bone bracelet... although my love of skulls is primarily a reflection of my love of brains, and I'd be even happier with a bracelet of little anatomically correct brains.
