Here we have a ca. 1990’s couple at the Fantasia shop in the Contemporary. There was an article in today’s paper saying the sock height of the guy in the picture is back in vogue and low-cut ones aren’t cool??? Someone please explain why or agree with me that it looks ugly.

We are gathered here today
To pay homage to Disney's way
From small beginnings with a mouse
To global cognizance and arouse

During the 1940s, Walt Disney and Salvador Dali collaborated on a surreal animated short called Destino, but the unfinished project was put on hold due to financial concerns at the studio, which was still recovering from World War II-related losses. It was eventually completed under the supervision of Disney's nephew, Roy E. Disney, in 2003. #WyrdWednesday
