In our Western culture, although death has come out of the closet, it is still not openly experienced or discussed. Allowing dying to be so intensely present enriches both the preciousness of each moment and our detachment from it.

There is something about a closet that makes a skeleton terribly restless.

I actually have a closet that’s all shoes, maybe 700 pairs.
I grew up feeling ‘less than.’ I was the sad, shy child hiding in the hall closet beneath coats. I’d wait for my grandmother’s voice to call, ‘Jewell, Jewell.’ I was lost, waiting to be found. I thought being found, I’d be happier, better. All the while, I read stories. Stories with both truth and lies.
Let’s be honest, ‘Ginza’ doesn’t really have lyrics to speak of. It’s a party track – a party for reggaetoneros to come out of the closet.

I’m like every other woman: a closet full of clothes, but nothing to wear: So I wear jeans.

If you look at pop stars through the ages, we’ve had camp, glam popstars from the 80s – your George Michaels and what have you – but then people went back to the closet a bit, and became more homogenised and generic.

After assessing what’s in your closet, make a list of what you need. Not want, but need. Write down the basics missing from your wardrobe. It could be a classic white shirt, a trenchcoat, or the perfect little black dress. Whatever the blank spots, write them down. This will be your reference for shopping.
When I was 15, I begged my grandfather to give me this guitar he’d always had in the back of his closet. I promised him I’d learn to play it, but I never did. Then my grandfather died, and I felt so guilty. So I started playing.
