My Tank Top Collection

Last night, I received a text message that said, "You seem to really love the tank top." It's an apt observation because I really and truly do love the tank top. And I have a bunch of them. In fact, after a rough count last night, I was rather surprised to learn that I probably own around 60 tank tops. This, I realize, is excessive... but I just like them so much! And I literally wear one almost every single day.

One of my favorite tank tops is available for purchase from Design By Humans. It actually incorporates a piece of cut-paper art that I made for my friend Heather: an octopus and a mermaid. Pip then did all the necessary things to format the design for a t-shirt/tank top. I bought that shirt for a bunch of my friends, along with some other Sis 'n' Pip creations, and everyone wore them to the fence-painting party that celebrated his life one year after his death. It was a good day. Emotionally exhausting, but good. And there was an upside-down rainbow... without rain. That was Pip working his magic.

I've got another octopus or two, because we all know how much I love octopuses.

I've got a periodic table tank top that I periodically wear on Thursdays. This comes in handy for trivia sometimes -- like when there's a question about the periodic table.

I have a tank top with a dog wearing a cone on his head... but the cone is actually a lamp. Isn't that funny?

I've also got a tank top with the pixelated number eight on it. My mom gave it to me for Christmas because, as you probably remember from the other day's blog about song lyrics that make me smile, my favorite number is eight. (That's also very evident in Just Whistle, I believe.)

I bought a tank top with a maple leaf on it because it reminds me of Bas and Lucy and the magic maple on Sycamore Drive. For the same reason, I bought a tank top with a guitar that becomes a tree and has a bunch of birds as its leaves.

I have a tank top that my best friend Kathy bought for me. It's got two giraffes riding a tandem because Kathy and I grew up riding my family's tandem. It had terrible brakes and was very heavy, but it was also incredibly fun and grass-stain green. Now that I think about it... I might've put that tandem in Like A Flip Turn.

I've got a tank top that says "Edit or Regret It," which is perfect for school on peer-editing days.

The bottom line? I have a lot of tank tops. Plain tank tops, too... but they're not especially fun to write about it.

Anyway, that's today's post. Now you have some insight regarding my tank top collection. I need to change into my periodic table tank and head over to Fourscore for some trivia.

Byeeeee!
