“Hunched over a #SewingMachine, Kil Bae is #hemming a dress inside his Manhattan tailor shop when a new #customer
stops by with a vintage Tommy Hilfiger jacket he wants taken in.

The modeling agent paid $20 at a thrift store for his reversible bomber style that’s plaid on one side and red on the other. He’s willing to spend $280 to have it slimmed down. #Alteration requests with such a price disparity would have seemed odd a few years ago, the #tailor says, but are helping to keep the #bobbins bobbing at his one-man shop, 85 Custom Tailor.“

After
#hedging
#hemming and hawing
#wavering
#sneaking numerous peeks
Tonight I finished deleting everything from my Twitter account and shut it down.
Reasons
# Don't want to support Musk in anyway🤮
#It brought out the meanest side of my nature😡
# and it sent my blood pressure through the roof. 😣
bye-bye twisted birdie☠️
Upward and onward🙏
