Day 225



Well this is almost entirely unprecedented.
The last time this happened was during the ten-week Mystery Package chapter of my THREEHUNDREDANDSIXTEEFIVE challenge a few months ago, where for two weeks in a row it offered two consecutive They Might Be Giants tees.
This time, the culprit is official music merchandiser Bravado who have sent a second Gang Nam Style themed garment to follow on from the one I wore back on Day 211. Cartoon Psy has returned, but rather than embedding himself in a well-known contemporary meme to form intertextual madness, he instead bounds across the middle of the canvas whilst performing one of his signature dance moves from the track's video.
Among the equally cartoonish typeface spelling out the Gang Nam Style text, can be found the caption "싸이6甲 Part 1" scrawled in more subtle red letting. This translates as 'Six Rules' which is the title of Psy's album (or rather the first of two parts of the album) featuring the track.

I made quite the effort to execute the 'Gang Nam Style' whilst wearing this tee for today's Bravado blog post photograph, but I was unsuccessful in doing so without obscuring the design from the camera. That said, I thought I'd include one or two stills from the shambles anyway.

See more from Bravado via their Twitter account.
