VACATION A LA MODE

 

         I could Photoshop
                                  
                                     myself en route





                






            
            to some exotic spot;



                                           


                                                                                 




                                                            the way of all clichés,
 





       


          
  and
        destination



                                             
                         

           for
                               every
                                             season,



                                                                                           
                                              
 
                              alluded to








                               in fashion shoots
