msfledermausI've been touching up my jacket with a big fat Sharpie marker to re-emphasize some of the lines around the geisha.
(For those of you playing the home game,I painted an 18th century Japanese woodcut on the back of an old motorcycle jacket.)
The jacket gives people mixed messages. Some people give me crap about it. It's really funny if I ride the bus with it and all of a sudden the little old ladies don't sit by me. Many guys automatically assume a boyfriend gave it to me.
(If they're being creepy I use this to my advantage.) The painting on the back throws many folks even more, I can see the morph between "tough" and "weird" as it happens.
It's just a jacket, people....I don't point and laugh at your Tommy Hilfiger stuff...although I probably should...
