I had to break down and retire my “Lady Bug in Boots” t-shirt yesterday. It’s twenty years old. It’d gotten to the point where I couldn’t pull it over my head without tearing holes in it. I’ll miss wearing it. It’s nicely gendered and wearing it reminded me of great times in Toronto with Maya, Mitzi and Yasmine. Yasmine is a wonderful artist. Several of her pieces, including our beloved Little Prince pillow, decorate the new place. I’d ask Yasmine for another Ladybug t-shirt but I believe she’s moved on from that style. Though retired, my favorite all time t-shirt will not be lost entirely. The image will be cut out (to ensure that I do in fact retire it) framed and put on the wall.
