My friend George and I were walking on the beach in Norfolk, and there were thousands of [razor-clam] shells. They were so beautiful, I thought I had to do something with them.

Then Erin [OβConner] came out and trashed the dress, so their usefulness was over once again. Kind of like fashion, really.
