I get unreasonably excited whenever I see an air mail sticker because it reminds of those snail mail years of receiving letters on Sanrio stationary adorned with gummy stickers and written with smelly pens from people in Hong Kong.  Sadly, all I get these days are virtual drinks and kisses via Facebook.  Ok, enough of the old woman in me lamenting away.  I got especially excited when I saw that this piece of post was from Daydream Nation, one of the very few Hong Kong labels that shows in London and whose shows (SS08, AW07) I look forward to very much indeed.  Their illustrated fabric invite for their AW08-8 show 'Good Night Deer' has me intrigued in every way possible because going from past experiences, I haven't a clue what to expect.   

From a personal and intimate invite to something on a grander scale which I'm not sure is a good thing or not.  The Gucci bash invite arrived and if you didn't know the scale of the party, the weight of the invite is there to thump it into you.  It came in its own marbled box and is a black perspex block which opens up to flash that predictable bit of gold.  I kid you not, the invite weighed as much as all three of my Forsyte Saga volumes.  So...um... I'm actually going then?  It isn't a predictably tragic teen-movie scenario where the nerd's hopes are raised and then crushed?  I am sounding rather deranged with the anticipation/fear for this thing even though I was shrugging it all off until about two days ago.
