Keep those beautiful old coats and clothes -- Bill Cunningham from New York Times --
http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2009/01/04/fashion/20090104-street-feature/index.html?th&emc=th
Only problem -- closet space.
I still have old coat from 20 years ago and it works fine --
one quilted coat I gave away and one (picked from garbage!) -- a good black wool long coat worth about $100, that was too small for me -- I gave both of these to refugees/visitors/interns from Burma.
All a problem of knowing what to throw away and what to keep.
I will never throw away re-cycled wearable art that I make myself from heirloom clothes and linen.

Another memoir on Oprah Show found to be (partially) made up --
http://www.tnr.com/booksarts/story.html?id=f458c2c8-0d4f-4dc7-8cba-15e465c2201a&p=1
Why was it marketed as a memoir?
Why did he not write it as a novel (fiction)?
Oprah Show and book and film etc audiences also want "memoirs."
Sensationalism is the culprit.
I can think of several examples from the Burmese survivor/media world.
