From what I can tell, the idea is to wear the shirt then fold it into the envelope on the front. From there, you can mail it to loved ones.
And then they can smell you even when you're far away.
So, loved ones, how do we feel about this as a group?

That is kind of disgusting. But I know some people who would be into it. There's no accounting for... uh, smell.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, why Bosch? Do you expect all your indulgence to result in hell and damnation of half the size?
I don't think it's disgusting, but it's odd as a commercial enterprise. I mean, I've kept the odd tshirt of Chris' when we're apart (mostly by mistake, not design), and sure I'll sleep in it or something and it's nice to be able to smell him...but there isn't anyone else I'd want to smell. Although actually I think it's funny--and I know people who's sense of humour would get them to send it as a joke-gift. So, yes. If you felt like sending me something through the post, I wouldn't want a t-shirt that smells like you (although I'm sure you smell lovely). But if Chris were chucking together a package for me...that's a different story!
ReplyDeleteHugs my love xx
Alright - so only for lovers, then. That makes sense.
ReplyDeleteAnne-Marie, it's from a Ferlinghetti poem. Here's the ridiculously long google link, it starts on page 23. Cheesy, yes. But it captures my culture-shock and approach to this whole experience fairly well.
