collecting -> archiving ?

People will always surprise me!

Yesterday a friend’s testimony about his friends collection habit absolutely stroke me.. Unfortunately is only the testimony of my friend that have to be taken as the proof, since the ‘collector’ is no longer in town and his tracks are a bit lost. But my friend is a Swedish person and that says it all!

The conversation was just yesterday over some drinks but till now, that I type these words, I can’t recall how and why he gave this example of this bizzaar collection. the shock wave was so big that is the only thing I have as memory and I can resist in sharing it!

The collection: tags from female underwear!

- you know this litlle information tag mostly by the designer.

When in a bar he would ask females around – very kindly!- if he could have it. And in most of the cases he did! – the testimony says that he is a quite, polite guy that has lots of sense of humor, so I guess that helped him in getting them. By the end of a night out he would have around 15 of these female underwear tags.

He never asked his partners for one or even his one night stands..

We have no information of how he was archiving it, but we know he kept them..

Another absurdity is that he ALWAYS was curring with him a little scissor – nail scissor style- so to cut up the little tag!

During this lesson we all heard about strange, peculiar, absurd, weird habits and laughed a lot.

in my opinion this collection is the epitome of all collections. This collector is the beginning and the end in the history of collections!..
