As long as we’re doing projects, here’s an accessory you can make yourself. On my birthday last year Leo gave me an old police whistle and a book by Queneau. I said, Thanks, I’ll read the Queneau, but I’m not joining the police. Leo said, No, I think the police whistle would make an interesting pendant. All it needs is a chain.

So I’ve been looking for a chain to hang the police whistle on, but I couldn’t find any I liked. Plus silver-plated stuff gives me a rash (silver-plated earrings are fine since they’re not on the skin). Then I saw Ricky wearing a leather cord around his neck and I thought it was another one of his clever (nakakainis) accessories. It was an eyeglass holder necklace with a silver hoop to hang your glasses from. I said, Is that another Margiela thingy, and he said, No, it’s from True Value.

So I visited True Value and voila, I have my necklace.

The eyeglass holder necklace is P399 at True Value. You can hang anything on it—action figures, your cat’s photo in a frame, or your actual eyeglasses.
