Convergence II

SPYWEAR: The Accessory for the Modern Mata Hari is dedicated to my fellow spy-chicks, Isabelle, Babette and Sing Ha, whose true identities shall never be revealed unless the Russians have the right price.  This piece includes a tiny camera behind the main focal bead for clandestine photos and the entire secret code from Captain Midnight’s Secret Decoder ring embedded on each of the beads for slipping secret messages to counter culture spy types that wish to send secret messages.  It’s all cleverly woven into a gawdy piece of jewelry that Mata Hari herself would be honored to wear, even if she chose to wear nothing else.  It’s a spy vs. spy world and a girl has to be armed for intrigue.  Bond?  Who needs him.  He might look cute in this get up, but his MO is O-L-D.  When it comes to the spy game,  girls rule and Bond drools

Yours in danger “Agent M”
