      Elizabeth Wilson is great!</p>

      I didn't realize she had gotten so into fashion, although she does have a book, "Adorned in Dreams," that has become something of a classic.</p>

      I highly recommend it, although it will certainly be an academic lecture...from what I remember, she is a bit of a Freudian.</p>

        Hope to make it. Do I have to have a student i.d. of some sort?

          justine, definitely not. If anyone asks, just tell them you are attending the lecture...it's free and open to the public, after all.
