You can say what you like about long dresses, but they cover a multitude of shins. — © Mae West
You can say what you like about long dresses, but they cover a multitude of shins.
Say what you want about long dresses, but they cover a multitude of shins.
When I started The Shins, it really was just me, alone, but it was still The Shins. I was totally recording stuff and writing songs as The Shins and all of that. So the beginning inception of the whole thing was some sort of a lie, I guess.
Mara Hoffman makes flowy dresses, and a lot of her stuff is geared towards swimwear, like cover ups, but they work well as house dresses, too.
Imagine a music business where all the music press talked about, all day long, was cover bands of old rock and pop groups. Beatles cover bands, Rolling Stones cover bands, The Who cover bands, Led Zeppelin cover bands. Cover bands, cover bands, everywhere you go.
Sometimes people look at our covers and say, "That looks just like that other cover." I say, "And?" It reminds them of a cover from way back when. If you know the cover, then pull it out and compare it. I don't care. It's supposed to bring back memories.
There is pressure that comes with everything being a big deal. I remember thinking, 'I need to survive the Shins. I don't know what I'm going to do to make a living otherwise, but I really don't want to do the Shins right now.'
The Shins is, in a way, a recording project that turned into a live band. So I don't really keep myself beholden to any rules when I'm in the studio for Shins. I just gotta get it done as best I can.
Riches cover a multitude of woes.
If the multitude is possessed of the balance of real estate, the multitude will have the balance of power, and in that case the multitude will take care of the liberty, virtue, and interest of the multitude in all acts of government.
Trees cover up a multitude of sins.
Charity is suppose to cover up for a multitude of sins.
We may cover a multitude of sins with the white robe of charity.
Writing should be like skirts. Long enough to cover what it needs to cover and short enough to maintain interest.
The blood of Jesus Christ can cover a multitude of sins, it seems to me.
I like photographing dresses in windows. I actually wore a lot of dresses in the '70s. I like them on other people now.
There is one element that is worth its weight in gold and that is LOYALTY. It will cover a multitude of weaknesses.
