Day 230



Erin Wakefield probably goes by a different name today. I'm not sure what it is - it could be anything. It be great, it could be unfortunate. It could be Erica America.
Whatever it is, it's not what she was called when a presumably impressive specimen of oily male genitalia gyrated around her face while her female companions dribbled Slippery Nipples over each other. Back then, she was called Erin Wakefield and she was a blushing bride to be, getting annihilated on her bachelorette party.

I wasn't present at her bachelorette party as I am a bloke of the un-oiled variety, making it strictly forbidden, plus I have no idea who she actually is so my attendance would have eventually been a matter for the police. Despite the lack of invitation I still managed to get hold of one of the souvenir T-shirts she and her female cohorts were wearing for the outing thanks to my good friends over at Custom Ink.
OK, so this tee didn't actually make it to the outing; it was a test print made for the batch that Erin had enlisted Custom Ink to create. But still, it clearly dictates that Erin Wakefield's Bachelorette Extravaganza took place in Nashville this year and that a muscular gent with a love heart for a crotch would be making an appearance.

On an unrelated note, I've been met by a number of sideways glances on my travels today and I suspect it may have something to do with this bright purple lady garment...

Day 229



If you were to ask me to list my top three comic book heroes (or comic characters generally for that matter), you can bet your arc reactor that Iron Man would be sitting proudly in that trio.
As a concept, I can't fault Iron Man at all; his abilities are plausible, his limitations are appropriate and his style is certainly a thing to envy. Even Hollywood has been relatively kind to him in it's first two treatments of the movie franchise (I'll omit any mention of the third film here for obvious reasons).

You can imagine my joy upon seeing today's brilliant T shirt donation tumble out of the package sent by Richard at 8ball.co.uk. It's one of around 6000 tees available from their online store and can be found under their Movie category.
Titled 'Stark Knight Rises' (adapted from the film title of a, ahem, lesser super hero), the design has the look of an alt movie poster about it, owing to its minimal detail and subtle colouration, especially the deviation from the typical gold and red Iron Man colour palette. Printed marginally off-center, the design features a double-layered silhouette of the Iron Man suit in block colour presented with an interesting play on translucence which helps reveal his signature aesthetic attributes; his mask eyes and chest arc.

Of all the comic-book themed tees to appear in my THREEHUNDREDANDSIXTEEFIVE challenge, this is by far my favourite.

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…
