Today I Wore A Skirt!

It's true, and it was glorious!  I missed feeling pretty when I left the house and today made up for it!  Other than that, my day was typical as usual. 

I have been noticing something strange around campus though.  Everyday I see students, mostly males, wearing shirts, or with stickers on their folders from the OBEY clothing company.  All one has to do is watch "Exit Through The Gift Shop", a documentary about street art that was nominated for an academy award (and should have won) to know where their clothes come from.  But, whenever I see students in my class wearing one of those shirts, I try to connect with them and ask if they know who Banksy is.  I immediately get looks of complete confusion! They don't even know who Shepard Fairey is, the guy who created the clothing line from his own street art.  I try to explain to them how legit those guys are but it goes right over their heads.  It's funny how saturated the whole thing is when it gets to the point that people wear things with such meaning, and have no clue what they are about. 

Today though, one student overheard me talking to another about Banksy and he was excited and surprised to hear that I knew who he was.  Then another student chimed up!  Lots of awesomeness with that one and now hopefully they'll respect me even more! (cheesy/lame, I know, but for a teacher, it's like gold!)

That's all for now I guess.  Enjoy life and know the meaning of what you wear!

HAVE FUN!
