Fashion victim

I did a ton of laundry on Monday night and I realized that I have a ton of clothing. Way more than you might expect from someone who dresses the way I do. Among all of that clothing, the most common threads are probably band t-shirts (second most common are long-sleeve shirts with a single horizontal stripe. Although there are two that I tend to

Wow, that is a lot of band shirts. Off the top of my head, I have:

-A Billy Joel "River of Dreams" tour shirt. Jealous?
-Two TMBG ones (World Tour 2040 and Hayseed Johns). You mentioned something about wearing big clothes, I'm pretty sure these shirts are huge. It was the 90s.
-Two of the exact same H.O.R.D.E. shirt. From the worst Horde ever.
-A Barenaked Ladies tank top, probably acquired at Horde.
-A Ben Folds ringer, stained, only fit for PJs.
-An OK Go shirt, also huge. It was no longer the 90s, but I don't think they were selling girl sizes at the time.
-A Rilo Kiley shirt that looks like it's a girl size but isn't really. It's more of a squat-boysize.
-A pink Pixies shirt that I LOVE and recently saved from being three kinds of ruined (stained, shrunk, and lost).

Your Billy Joel t-shirt is far less embarrassing than my Garth Brooks one.

I have:
-a Posies shirt (too big; missing?)
-a Z100 Jingle Ball 199...8? 1997? 1999? long-sleeve monstrosity (pretty sure it got tossed)
-an okgo tanktop (too small!)
-another okgo tanktop from rayme (location unknown)
-a BNL "barenaked" tanktop (too trashy!)
-a Moxy Fruvous "I <3 Canadian Boys" t-shirt (wore on move-in day frosh year at Wes; got asked a lot if I was Canadian; now too small but still kickin' around somewhere)

...I think that's it.
(I really like this game. Also, you have a LOT of band shirts)

It seems odd that you never had a TMBG shirt! It's almost as if you weren't paying attention to minor fashion trends at Saratoga High in the late-middle nineties.

Also, Marisa, you left off a Barenaked Ladies Stunt t-shirt (too big) -- maybe because it's been in various spots in my room for the past 6-12 months. And those TMBG shirts must be big because I fit into them both quite nicely. I finally had the chance to put on the Hayseed Johns shirt and say, ah ha, so this is what it's like to be Rob.

*LOL* I remember that "Stunt" shirt. Once, Mike and I wore it on the same day (how embarassing). Our math teacher complimented me and not him, and he got angry,

I also had a BOOTLEG Debbie Gibson shirt once that my parents bought for me in the parking lot of her concert. That one's still MIA.

haha-- i wasn't, like, obsessively in LOVE with tmbg the way i was with BNL and fruvous. thus, no shirt.

also, if they didn't have a cutesy girly shirt, i probably wasn't interested...

if Rob ever says "nice shirt" around me, it is virtually guaranteed that he's actually talking to Marisa.

And you always think I'm talking to you!

[rockmarooned]

Because I wear such nice shirts AND WHY CAN'T I HAVE YOUR APPROVAL

[transmit]

has to be earned

you can't just say thank you after i give someone else a compliment.

Also, whatever I think about that shirt, I think about this really awesome picture of you, my sister and jeff (and you're wearing the shirt). Man do I have to find that

[rockmarooned]

How sweet of you to say. I also like these pants a lot.

Also, I have that picture in one of my albums. It is glorious.

[rockmarooned]

Yep, it was that logo. I'm about to embark on a Snakes on a Plane shirt-making mission next week... but these will be far shoddier.

What a fun entry! The "old-timey presidents" line made me laugh. The Garbage t-shirt sounds pretty awesome.

It's funny that we both posted entries about laundry yesterday.
