hair clip

this is a hair clip given to me by the mom in the previous post. it is probably the most chinese thing i own now, besides my new vest :) clearly there's a lot going on with it- the excessive number of fake jewels, the excessive colors...basically it is just excessive. i don't think i would have ever thought to buy it for myself (and probably still would never think to hehe), but now that i have it i can appreciate its subjective beauty. i guess the kindness in which it was given also doesn't hurt. i still can't understand how this mom is so nice. definitely bringing some of these learnings back to the states..
