If designers were desserts, I'd be a cupcake.
Ways in which I am like a cupcake:
I keep things short and sweet.
I offer all the benefits of a cake only
in a complete, self-contained package.
I'm an asset at parties.
I'm well-decorated.
Ways in which I am not like a cupcake:
I will not go straight to your hips.
