Collett lives in Queensland and came to Christchurch to a 90th birthday. She has a few free hours before she returns home so she enjoys the busy atmosphere of the shopping center with her friend. Collett tells me how she seems to wear brighter and brighter colors as the time goes by because she feels more and more confident about her body. Soon a colorful display grabs her attention. After careful consideration she picks a scarf of a delicate shade of green with a triumphant smile. “I have seventy-two of these, do you think I need one more?” – but she walks up to the till anyway.
