The littleset pirate that cold....

I have this linen prate shirt I bought last year but didn't wear it because it's white. White is not my favorite color. While watching Pirates3 for the zillionth time a week ago, it hit me. Dye the damn thing. I turned on my inner art major and tried to pick the right color that went well with me and the tones of my jacket and pants. I choose burgundy. I spent the better part of this past week catching up on homework and asking around about any tricks to using fabric dye. When I felt like I had enough info, I set to dying.

The closest thing Rit has to burgundy is "wine." Looked pretty close to what I wanted so I commenced a dying. One hour later, I discover that wine is just a nice way of saying dark pink. There was a period in the late 80s where 'd wear pink but I refer to that as my experimental phase. We were all wearing pink. Thank god, my dad snapped me out of that one. To this day i still refuse to wear anything that is close to the same color as any cocktail served on Sex and the City.

So now as it's the night before Pirate Fest, I sit by the fireplace w/ a puffy pink pirate shirt. I am in need of a Festivus miracle......
