Blast from the past
Every once in awhile I unearth a picture from my past that strikes me. Sometimes it's because I look like an idiot and I have to laugh at myself. Sometimes it's because it reminds me of something special I had forgotten. This one is a little bit of both. I have to laugh at the 80's rainbow shirt. I don't remember that shirt, but I guarantee you it was one of my favorite, the bolder the better was my fashion philosophy as a kid. It looks like something you'd see on an old episode of Mork and Mindy.
Now the good memory I have was that bag. It's hard to see, but it was red gingham with a big cherry applique on it. And I think the blue denim straps are pretty obvious. It was a bag so bright it didn't go with anything and yet I carried it everywhere. It was cheap, and the inside was this plastic that just got stiff and started to crumble, it's demise probably aided by crayons and cookie crumbs. But if I had that bag now I'd probably carry it everywhere again. Along with my muppets lunch box.
