DISCUSSION
When I was small, I had a '45 with a story* about a woman who always wore a black ribbon around her neck. Her husband was curious, never saw her without it, etc. and one night after curiosity got the better of him, he untied it while she slept. Her head fell off.
All that was to say: I can't see past the black ribbon-like choker.
*And I played it on my plastic Fisher Price record player, like all my other gruesome fairy tales.
