Day 31



Growing up I never had Play Doh.
I had some slime in a pot that eventually went hairy. I also had an old ice-cream tub filled with an assortment of what was once brightly coloured plastercine that over time became lumps of grey crunchy entity that for some reason I was still allowed to play with.
But full blown, as-seen-on-tv, everybody's talking about it, branded Play Doh, was something that never graced my toy box.

As of today - Day 31 of my THREEHUNDREDANDSIXTEEFIVE challenge - that has all changed. Sort of.

The good folk over at Truffle Shuffle have sent me this Play Doh logo T-shirt from their stockpile in Bristol. Truffle Shuffle are a stockist of many brands of tee with a host of different flavours, including funny, retro and cool. I'd go so far as to say this Play Doh T-shirt falls under each of those categories simultaneously. The logo spans the chest and has been made to appear aged using a faux degraded print quality and desaturated colour pallete. It also makes me feel that I am a pot of Play Doh, which is kind of awkward, because I’m now in two minds as to whether I should make a crude joke about the Fun Factory shape extrusion squeezer or not…

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…
