What Ashley is Wearing

Ashley hails a cab in style wearing Danskin black footed tights that she cut to suit (Style 69, $9.50), a Danskin women's wrap skirt in theatrical pink (Style 1886, $20.00), and a Danskin black tank leotard with double diamond back detail (Style 2433, $32.00). While it is true that cabs will stop for passengers who are waving their arms like an agitated bird, deep down they appreciate taxi hailing technique that incorporates a stretched out limb and a strong line. In fact, there are rumors that Ashley's graceful cab hailing technique helped to increase the supply of cabs in New York.

and The Kingdom of the Sun Sprites, a still photography ballet.
