Murakami T: The T-Shirts I Love

Consumerism, yay? I'm torn, honestly. The premise of discussing such a collection is silly, though anything can become a writing prompt for a creative mind. BUT it emphasizes a big problem in fashion waste, which is: exactly how easy it is to accrue so many tee shirts, even those you don't intend to wear! To be fair, it sounds like a lot were bought second hand, gifted, or resulted from participating in events. Those last two categories exacerbate the waste problem. On a less serious note, if you're going to ask a person about their t-shirt collection, make sure they've lived an interesting life, so you get nifty anecdotes along the way. Approachable writing style makes me curious to try out his fiction works. On the purely aesthetic side, my favourites were the hot pink shirt with a row of ukeleles from Hawaii, and the one with the badass winged green octopus.
