1 The belt buckle was a birthday gift from the Austin Rodeo. The colors are for the Italian flag. My favorite Giants hat that I *borrowed* from my dad.
2 My good friend from Oakland brought me back this sticker in an attempt to have identically decorated water bottles. Then she lost hers.
3 Janice Rule — a starlet with whom I am unfamiliar. On the cover of a Life magazine from the year my father was born. I had to put it up.
4 During the height of my sticker thieving, I took this one off of a graffitied food truck on Barton Springs Road.
5 The golden age of advertising is nearly synonymous with one product giant — cigarettes. Every agency had its fiends, and its client.
6 They really couldn't get enough of it. Until the FDA told them they had to stop, obviously.
7 I am not from Colorado. But unlike Cleveland, I have been there. I am not brave enough to put this sticker outward-facing for fear of being called a poser.
8 A Matisse print collected during one of my museum visits in high school; they were just giving them away! I took three.
9 A birthday present from my roommate by an unknown artist selling prints out and about in Austin. I want this design on my nails.
10 A birthday present from the same roommate the subsequent year. Robert Pattinson featured.
11 "Quiet As It's Kept" was the exhibition on view at the Whitney the first time I visited Erica in New York. The third museum I ever visited there.
12 A sticker brought back from Terlingua, Texas after a roommate's spring break expedition to the West.
13 You'd think I smoke! No. I found this carton, almost perfectly preserved, in the back alley of my apartment complex on a walk.
