the sara zucker street style challenge →
in the words of my good friend alex, it is:
easy. anyone with at least one finger can do it. if you do not have any fingers, i hope i did not hurt your feelings. you could probably figure out how to do it, too. let me rephrase: anyone can do it, regardless of whether or not he or she has fingers.
