ive decided to start blogging about things that i receive in the mail, from ebay or whatever.
this came in yesterday. i actually ordered it to give to Chip. i first bought this shirt in 1996 in Buffalo, NY. i thought it was an awesome straightedge shirt, fairly original and not "tough". having abandoned the straight edge in 2001, i am not quite sure what happened to my shirt. it was white, and a size large.
its a Sesame Street mock, with Straightedge replacing the Sesame Street logo. 1995 is written on the street sign. on the back, there is a square that says "brought to you by the letter X and the number 95"
about a month ago, i came across one on
ebay. i thought that i would bid on it, and give it to Chip because he collects shirts. i thought i was bidding on the exact same style that i bought 13 years ago.
yesterday, this came in the mail. it is in fact a size L, but a GIRLS size L. it is also PINK. a very light PINK. looking back, the size was a misread on my part. the color, however, is misleading. on the listing, it looks white. it is very much not white. also, the arm pits are a lighter color than the rest of the shirt, as if the antiperspirant bleached the fabric.
needless to say, it will not fit Chip.
moral of the story: read ebay listings VERY carefully.
