Speaking of blues, today's song is "When You Got A Good Friend" by Robert Johnson, an original blues man.

This outfit was inspired by me si and Kasmeneo. I saw that me si was wearing red to highlight the freedom marches in Burma/Myanmar, and so I wanted to contribute to that vibe. I like Kasmeneo's style and the way he bends the unspoken rules of fashion. So!
