“Makeshift”. Montecristo, Winter 2009.
Story by Craig David Long. Self-portraits by Nathalie Purschwitz.

“Thank you for  the attention in Montecristo! It was nicely written. I’ve already had a lot of  comments from people about it—one woman even dropped off a small book on how  to make lingerie that she bought when she lived in NY 30 years ago and was  planning to do a similar project! So again, many thanks!”—Nathalie Purschwitz
