Buckles

Rian has been gifted with a belt buckle. An Om belt buckle, yes? Rian is pleased and amused.

In order to find an 'unsnapping belt' - read: a belt in which buckles can be exchanged - Rian had to search about town. No luck in the high end, elegant shops. No luck in the trendy markets.

Eventually, Rian found what was needed in a store catering to Burly Dock Workers, or perhaps Harley Aficianados. Certainly, there were many bearded, leather clad cyclers skulking about the shop's dark recesses. And a perfect, thick black belt to go with Rian's Om buckle. Rian feels a ttch like a Dock Worker wearing the thing. But it also makes me smile.

And, think! A belt in which buckles can be flipped about with one's mood. Perhaps, next, a studded Harley Davidson shield. A garish, sequined Elvis memorial? No, no...

...something with teeth.
