chibirhmSo yesterday ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lamardeuse asked me to show off my cool t-shirts. Now, I may not have a t-shirt that matches Bradley James', unlike her, but mostly thanks to Threadless I do have some pretty happening shirts. Please note that these are also, like, the only things with print in my entire wardrobe. I'm 4'11", okay, it's hard to find print that doesn't look like it's trying to eat me.
Okay, a few note before explaining how and why these are awesome:
1. I tried to get the colors to be true to life, which is why even though they're all on the same wood floor, it looks different every time.
2. I didn't model these on my body because about half of them are dirty (see also: why so wrinkly), I just showered, and I have yet to figure out how to take good t-shirt photos without it looking like a poorly disguised boob shot.
3. Ye gods, this is an ugly graphic, for which I apologize.
Okay, shirts!
A: Threadless purchase! They were having a $10 sale and I couldn't resist. In case it's too small to tell, those are nesting dolls plugged into a radio and listening to it. I got it because it's cute, unusual, and it's very much my style - a little kitschy, a little retro, a little Japanese-inspired, a lot pretentious and indie.
B: This is the oldest shirt, I got it I think... sophomore year of high school at Delia's? Anyway, at the time my boobs were smaller and in addition to liking the kitschy floral pattern and colors I liked that it made my chest look bigger. Oh, who am I kidding, I still sort of like that.
C: Another Threadless purchase, bought it at the same time I bought the first shirt. I think it was supposed to be promotional for some band or something, not that you can really tell. I liked it because there was a girl reading, cute little birds, and a cool cuckoo clock.
D: Threadless again! This is my favorite shirt, I think, because I'm a big old nerdy politics person. I wear this shirt every time I go vote, and if I wear it, the candidate I've voted for has yet to lose. This could just be because I've never voted in close elections, but whatever. Also the most fun shirt to wear, because I get a lot of compliments/people staring at me and then bursting into spontaneous laughter/thumbs up. I don't think, if I ever get over my neorses about spending a lot of money on clothes and buy this, if I wore this shirt I'd get as positive a reaction, though it would be way more accurate to my political beliefs. (I also want this t-shirt. I REALLY NEED TO JUST BITE THE BULLET HERE.)
E: Most recent purchase. I was in Porter Square at a thrift store with my sister, who didn't understand why I burst out in hysterical laughter and yelped "OH MY GOD I HAVE TO GET THIS RIGHT NOW." (In case you were wondering and not hip and with it, this is why.) This shirt also acts as a great social lubricant in identifying British expats, Anglophiles, and generally awesome people. Every year my family and I go to a family camp, and there was a new family there this year where both the parents were British. I was wearing this the first day, and they took one look at me and went "oh thank God, we're going to fit in here". (Apparently they have a poster of this hanging in their kitchen.) In short, BEST EIGHT DOLLARS I HAVE SPENT IN YEARS.
Mmm, t-shirts. I love t-shirts. T-shirts make me wish I were a boy, sometimes, because I really love them, but there are so many awesome kinds of shirts, and there just aren't enough days to cycle through all the kinds of shirts I want to wear PLUS all the cool t-shirts in the world. Boys have it so easy.
...annnnnd that effectively killed an hour. I really should be productive today and do some laundry and homework, and maybe some dishes. Except it's chilly, rainy, and Ella's snoring against my knee. Which makes me just want to snorgle into her fuzz and become a gelatinous blob. Ugh, productivity. I'll probably read court cases for class and try to stay awake. The problem with court cases is that while reading them I feel like "Oh man if this was an episode of Law & Order I'd be so riveted!" except there's something about judges when they write their rulings that makes them inclined to make everything as boring as possible. You could be reading the judge's ruling from fucking Legally Blond and you'd probably fall asleep. Perhaps there should be a new law that all judges are required to add some pizzaz to their findings. Or at least a knock-knock joke. Anything.

Date: 2010-10-02 09:09 pm (UTC)Threadless shirts always kind of made me wish I was a boy because 1. I have to buy guys sizes anyway which means 2. The graphics/text on them is placed a litlle differently - coincidentally right where I don't want attention to be focused/the reason I buy guys sizes: the girls. SIGH.
I also totally second your motion.
