Iām a serial monogamist when it comes to t-shirts. Whichever oneĀ has made it out of hiding, it tends to be āthe oneā for seemingly ages until, for whatever Ā reason, it changes. And then, that one is āthe oneā. The current āoneā is an oldie: Keith Haring for Cotton On (Iconic Aussie brand). Pale pink, big and baggy. Note to self - donāt Ā ruin or lose.

Lot of different ones in this collection. I tend to pick up ones that are low key and have a logo or simple design.
Way more than I wear. I have a tough time with T Shirts because I have XL shoulders but a L waist so neither fit exactly right.
Most Worn:
- Ratboys
- Pile
- Caroline
- Black Midi
Also featuring one for @RIOTGRRRLās band Hands First, who Iāve probably seen the most of the bands on the other tees in the year Iāve known Erin.

I don't know if other people did this, but during the 2020 quarantine (and in the subsequent years when we didn't see many people) I stopped wearing my "cool" t-shirts. The ones with art prints on them, my favorite band tees, etc. Subconsciously, I figured, "If nobody is going to be able to see or appreciate them, why wear them out? I might as well wait until we start socializing again."
So instead of those, I mainly wore a bunch of plain white t-shirts. One in particular fell apart more quickly than the rest. The neck started stretching out and fraying and a couple of pinholes opened up on the front. Food stains accumulated from countless meals we cooked over the past few years... It slowly became a beautiful dissolving tapestry.
Now I find myself gravitating toward that particular ratty shirt because it has become a symbol of perseverance through an unfathomable time. Since I started wearing it, a pandemic happened, I became a dad, loved ones were lost, new friends were made, a boat got stuck in the Suez Canal, I made a significant body of artwork, we watched the Sopranos for the first time, jobs changed, we watched Community for the 4th time, and I witnessed the best and the worst of humanity at extremes that I had never witnessed in my life prior. Anyway, I think it's made by Hanes.
Sad Update: The shirt may have ended up in the throwaway pile during a recent drawer clean out. A lesson in the consequences of becoming attached to worldly possessions, the impermanence of everything, entropy, et al. Pictured instead are two other surviving shirts from the same multi-pack. They have both lived equally storied lives, so they deserve to be held in the same regard and shall also be worn until ragged!

Designed by a father so his kids could take photos on campingĀ trips without being distracted by phones. View-finder only, perfectly imperfect resolution. Digital, eventually. Old school look, feel and sound. Everyone smiles when they use it.

Social media serves a smorgasbord of delicious BowieĀ snippets. Heās so cool, human, accessible, unreachable, iconic.

Makes every hotel room feel more warm and inviting. Also, IāmĀ like a baby, I like a night light. Side note, I am definitely a frustrated lighting designer.
