I am warm and comfy and fancy and casual at the same time.

Dislikes

Of course, I don't have any dislikes

Fun Fact

My old owner, always wore those wore me when she left for the city, when she wanted to be, to feel fancy and my current owner always wears me when she wants to feel comfortable. So I can do everything and and I think since my new owner owns me, she wears me a lot more than my old owner, which is confusing.

Audio Story

Statement

Why I should be in the Parliament of sustainability, or why I should run the Parliament of sustainability because of three reasons. First I have a very long life already and I've seen a lot of things. I've experienced a lot. I've seen people dying. I've seen generations dying actually. Second, I stand for everything like I mentioned before, I'm fancy and casual. I'm warm and comfortable. I'm business and eco-social and I'm old and young and I'm not only for men and I'm not only for women, I'm for everyone. Which brings me to my third point, and this is I challenge gender norms because my old owner was always wearing me because I'm usually made for men. But she was a woman in the 80s and it was really hard to wear me without being commented on. So I'm also fighting for gender rights.
