Old Italian Film Star Who Is Into Funeral Chic & White After Labor Day.

On Funeral Chic:

I recently read an article about people taking glamorous selfies at funerals and uploading with hashtag #funeralchic on social media. Having had a death of someone very dear to me in August (my brother, J.), I was interested in exploring this. I love other people’s selfies. I love to see what people choose to put out to the world. I also love tackiness.

There is a time and a place, and probably selfies at funerals are not the most respectful thing to do, but this is all circumstantial and, admit it, funny.
