Day 197

I have just inspected 24 pandas to determine which one is striking the most aesthetically pleasing and imitatable pose worthy of recreating for Day 197's blog photo.

Number 15, in case you're wondering.

I didn't know anything about Taijiquan before my friend Alicia donated this, her fourth T-shirt to my THREEHUNDREDANDSIXTEEFIVE challenge all the way from China, but thanks to the display team of dancing pandas demonstrating the "24 Postures Of Taijiquan" in a handy diagrammatical format on this electric blue garment, I can now confidently break out this sequence of moves at will, whether I'm at a discotheque, a dinner party, or my local corner shop.

And if you think the quirkiness of this T-shirt stops with athletic bears, think again, because the name of the company behind the design is also pretty out there. This design comes courtesy of the Beijing Art Dragon Accomplished Hand Painting Artistical Manufacture Company Ltd - and I wish I was making that up! Think of how many pandas it would take to represent the title of that!

Thanks for this and all of your donations Alicia!
