Day 30



When Owen from Creativepool told me that he'd like to donate a T-shirt to my THREEHUNDREDANDSIXTEEFIVE challenge, I was delighted! I have been a fan of the London based Creativepool for years; reading articles from their creative blog authors, sourcing design work from their job boards and I even attended one of their industry evenings last summer.
Just before he posted the tee out to me, he mentioned that it might be pink.

"Haha. Not a problem"
Bright pink.
"Erm, ok, that's fine"
Stupidly bright pink.
"right..."

Well I can tell you this. Owen is not a liar.

When I unfurled today's T-shirt from its equally flamboyant, metallic green packaging, I saw that it was in fact the pinkest T-shirt ever conceived.

Fortunately, I will not need to muster the full force of my metrosexuality to wear it, as smack bang in the middle of the chest is a print of a pirate-themed skull and crossbones emblem. Aha! What could possiby be more masculine than a pirate, (with the exception of Johnny Depp, obviously)?
I am a swashbuckling, rum-swilling, pillaging, horswaggling, buccaneer!

It is still pretty pink though...

THREEHUNDREDANDSIXTEEFIVE Project

Hi, I’m Andi Best and I’m a regular guy, rising to an irregular challenge.

People tell me I have a lot of T-shirts. These people are not wrong, it’s true, I do.

But one person went as far as to tell me I have so many T-shirts, I could probably wear a different one every day. This is obviously not true, but it got me thinking - what if I could wear a different T-shirt every day? What if I never wore the same T-shirt twice for an entire year?

Challenge accepted

I have created project THREEHUNDREDANDSIXTEEFIVE which, beginning January 1st 2013, will track my pro gress sourcing and wearing a different T-shirt every day for the next 365 days – and I’m going to need your help to do it…
