Doodle on yourself

People are starting to believe that I am a trend whisperer. By people, I mean my friend Tee, who tweeted about doodles and fake tattoos at the Gaultier, Chanel and Rodarte shows. I can’t even remember what I said about doodling on people… but it might have been a flip comment in response to Drew…
