Six Degrees

When your brain starts zinging with electric connections between bubble skirts and Plato, Kevin Bacon and prisoners on death row, then you know you're cooking with grease.

But what does any of this have to do with what you should wear this very second?
1) Kevin Bacon wore a bubble skirt in Footloose
2) Bubble skirts remind us of hot air balloons
3) The world's first hot air ballon ascent was in 1783. The passengers were a sheep, a rooster, and a duck. (The sheep was utterly terrified, while the duck and rooster remained blase throughout.)
4) The first hot air balloons were made of silk.
5) Apparently (yay, Internet!), silkworms are easy to raise. So no more pesky shopping trips.
6) Ergo, this very second, wear a pale pink kimono fashioned of homemade silk, made in your very own apartment by your very own worms.
