Slow Day Post: The Wardrobe Rundown!
Blame Winter:
This has left me with 8 pairs of jeans, about ten assorted long and short sleeve t-shirts (most of which are black), three blouses, five tank tops, some uberfancy dresses, two fleeces, a sweater, and socks. (Yes I still have bras and underwear, but I kind of figured that it was a given and didn’t need to be brought up).
Being bored, I decided to compare my wardrobe with Winter’s and make mean remarks if hers was still bigger than mine after the cleanout. I was tragically disappointed.
Jeans - Winter: 8 / Mark: 5
T-shirts -10/15
Blouses - 3 / shirts -8
Tank tops - 5 / Polo shirts - 3
Uberfancy dresses/awesome jackets or suits - some/6
Fleeces - 2/2
Sweaters - 1/3
If regular trousers were counted the jeans category would be a tie, so it looks like I’m only trailing in the polo shirts vs. tank tops department and I intend to rectify that soon enough. So I guess I do have a pretty big wardrobe at the moment.
List: Mark’s Favourite Garments!
1) Smelly old thermal shirt. I lost my virginity in this thermal shirt, but it’s gone smelly and yellow so I only wear it in the depths of winter when no one else is around.
2) Sydney jeans. I used to wear nothing but cords, but then I found the world’s coolest pair of jeans for $4 in an op-shop. Great fit with a traditional cut so people don’t see your arse when you bend over. I won’t tell you how long since I’ve washed them.
3) Blood Donation Jacket. I went to the Red Cross Store after I’d donated blood one day and scored this awesome brown army-style jacket. You can do it up double-breasted so you look like a soldier and it has lots of silver buttons. Proof that no good deed goes unrewarded.
4) Descend Here overalls. When I joined my first band I needed to look a bit weird, but I didn’t have any weird clothes. I devised a blue tie-dyed set of overalls with patches and tears and metal bolts hanging off so I didn’t have to think up a new outfit each time. Here’s an mp3, if you missed our brief career.
5) PUCS t-shirt. Official shirt of the Perth Undergraduate Choral Society, with a picture of Puck himself prancing across the front. Obtained at a performance of Miserere Mei at Hackett Hall. My girlfriend at the time was an alto.
Well, I hope you’ve enjoyed the tour of my wardrobe. Peace out.

No, shut up. Descend Here is you? I had that on my computer for ages (and at one point on my mp3 player), and I had no idea where it had come from or who they were. Did you put the file up for download before? Because I don’t remember downloading it before?
Is it you singing/vocalising?

You lost your virginity in a smelly old thermal shirt?
Romantic!

Oh wow, a ’slow day’ post inspired by my ‘I have nothing to blog about’ post, I feel special.
Also, this was really funny. I think we should get everybody to list their wardrobes so we can ridicule them. Maybe I’ll do my shoes next…
P.S. An update on my wardrobe, I have three dresses and just bought another blouse and shirt. Just so we have an accurate count here. :)

Glen - okay, okay. It was an outrageous oversight. Meanwhile, are we going to get an eventmechanics wardrobe post? Beacuse it’s a meme now, you know.
Liz - Yeah, that was my band. We were kewl. On that track I sing the chorus, plus I wrote most of it. We had it on our EP, but it was on the net anyway because I’m not very capitalistic. There’s also Domestic Utopia online. If you want a CD, or anyone else does, you can send me your address. I have some left over.
James - It wasn’t that smelly all those years ago. Okay, it probably was - but it was not the most romantic occasion anyhow, regardless of apparel.
Winter - Thanks for the update! ;) I say it’s a meme and everyone has to do it now. You hear that, everyone?!

You should get some shirts with ruffles on them. Then you could look like a pirate. Arrr!

Heck yeah, I want a cd!
You can see my email address, yeah? Send me an email and I’ll send you my address.

It’s amazing the free shit you can get on the internet, isn’t it? Poetry books, cds…

I leave the internet for all of five minutes and I come back to discover that (Super!) Mario’s gone? Madness! Mayhem!

Eggroll - Does that give me license to go around swearing like a pirate and stealing things off people like a pirate? I hope so.
Liz - Yeah, I’ll send you a message.
Shelley - where did you get poetry books? I want some too.
T - Novelty banners are good fun, but I’m going back to something less loud until I can do of another one. Ooh, I have a great idea for one now…

More like booklet. Timt at Will Type for Food - he’s pimping his own poetry.

Scared me for a second…. I thought that first paragraph was written by you, and I was wondering why the hell you had blouses.
Whew!
BTW, the words “blame Winter” in no way indicate that Winter wrote the following paragraph. 8-)

Yes, If you’re dressed like a pirate I think you should definitely be able to steal booty and swear like one too!
Comment by colonel eggroll — Sunday October 1 2006 @ 11:47 pm
Nails - ooh, get me one then.
Marcheline - Righty-o, I’ll be more specific when it comes to blouse-ownership next time.
Clnl E. - YAARR! Sign me up, me buxom beauty!
