When I was a little girl, soda pop bottle tops had a cork insert. It was possible to pry this loose in one piece. One of my uncles showed me how you could sandwich your shirt between the bottle top and the cork, thereby attaching the bottle top to your clothing.
I thought this was the most elegant thing in the world. And I knew that it was my destiny to go on the stage wearing a costume made of nothing but soda-pop bottle tops. I knew I would be a star. Never stopped to think about what I'd need to perform; the bottle-top costume was more than enough.
