Clothing remixing is about recognizing the value of clothing as a platform for personal expression. It’s more artistic and more sustainable. It’s also cheaper.

So I do some clothing remixing sometimes, but not all that much. Today I decided less talkey, more walkey. This is one I’ve been wanting to do for awhile:

So I have this beanie, but I’m not so happy about using my cranium as an advertising platform for Puma (unless they pay me. hint.)

I don’t like the color of the horizontal band. Turning the hat inside out fixed that issue, but the logo was still clearly visible. I cut a patch from a torn pair of boxers and sewed it on top. But this wasn’t enough. That logo needed to die. So I used some bleach to make an x. First, I had to fasten a makeshift paintbrush.

The bleach bled more than I wanted it to. But at least the Man was getting the finger.

Now I am happy (albeit somewhat sleepy), and my forehead has been liberated.

You can call me a good-for-nothing deviant hipster teenager lashing out against the System while unapologetically benefiting from it. You’re right. It’s easy for Mr. heterosexual, white, upper-middle-class, Ivy League to sit in his carpeted dorm room and write about how much he hates labels.

But at least I’m reclaiming just a little bit of my ability to be my own person.

you looking at me?

If you don’t know what GIMP is, you should.

It turns out that I have a few photos of my dog, Thor. Maybe this is the direction for a new series?
