What a cartoonist is wearing today: CAJ
What is a cartoonist wearing today? Today, in newyorkette style, we’re featuring the author herself, but we are hoping to enlist other guest cartoonists now and then, just for a different kind of insider knowledge, and to save them the trouble of answering the typical cartoonist questions we’re all asked all the time.
Today’s weather permits me to wear one of my favorite outfits (I’m on my third day wearing it! Of course, I’ve washed the tee shirt every night!), and that’s what made me think all my fellow cartoonists might have a favorite little outfit that may or may not be particularly fashionable, but still be a favorite, whether it be a pair of pajamas or just a comfortable pair of paint-stained boxers. So here’s mine:
– last season’s Urban Outfitters’ striped “boy-cut” tee – old H&M brown tweed skirt (circa 2002) – old Cynthia Rowley blue leather pumps (bought at Century 21, circa 1998) – new Fjallraven Kanken red swedish canvas knapsack (bought at Salvor Kiosk to replace the fifteen year-old black one that died this summer) – old Santa Novella’s Aqua di Colonia, “Rosa” (a little goes a long way, for years).What I like best, and other personal notes:
The bag is red because everything I need to remember to take with me is red. The reason is that I am extremely absent-minded. (Inside the bag, my purse is red, my keychain is red, my cartoon idea notebook is red, my modelling voucher case is red, my umbrella is red, and so on.)
If this was a guest writing, instead of me, I’d have used this bottom space to link to websites, online works, etc. for the reader to peruse at his/her leisure. But it’s just me today!
NB: this is in no way a post comparable to anything on Ms. Richards’ (aka. “Jeepers”) wonderful little blog called “what2wearthisvery2nd“, or “What to wear this very second,” the link to which is always in my “cartoonist’s blogroll in the sidebar, and which will give you all sorts of fanciful advice about what you should wear, cartoonist or not. (Newyorkette makes a point of not caring what anyone is wearing unless they care themselves, and rather prefers naked people to clothed people! Still, we must all remain curious and see what other people are wearing, as we are not alone in this world! So go see Jeeper’s site!)
