My Photo
Midland, Texas, United States
My name rhymes with "Lisa," I live in Midland, Texas, because it's warm and the mortgage is cheap, and of course this is my natural hair color. Of course! The EGE--The Ever-Gorgeous Earl--is my husband of 35 years. I have the best job in the world: I call up artists and ask them a bunch of nosy questions and then write about them. Or podcast them, if we're going to let "podcast" be a transitive verb. I write, I blog, I podcast, I stitch. In my spare time, I do it all some more.

Because, Really: What Man Doesn't Need a Sequined Christmas T-Shirt

. . .even if only Rudolph's nose is sequined. I dared not add anything else. The EGE kind of draws the line at beads and sequins and stuff. He'll wear almost anything else. Well, probably not ribbons. Or ruffles, but then I wouldn't even go there. This is not destined to become his favorite shirt (that would be Batman and Robin, I think), but I'm happy with it.
 He doesn't wear much red, so I had to put in the colors he does wear so it would go with other stuff, like his long-sleeved t-shirts. He is definitely a man of many layers. (We're both almost always cold.)
 I keep forgetting to add white highlights to the eyeballs. He's worn this shirt once, and talk about getting a lot of attention. Yowza. Everyone loved it.

He's off to school for the last day of the semester.
And I'm back to work to get everything done so I can take off and hang out and stitch while school's out~~

soo cute, PLUS I love seeing you in the mirror!!! Happy last day of school for awhile, EGE!

Thanks, Carol--I am sooo not a picture-taker. I love having photographs; I just don't like having to take them/pose for them/ re-take them over and over. The lighting in our house is such a problem with all the brightly-colored walls.

There's a wonderfully fearless joy about you and Earl and your life together that is a charm against the Dark. Nice...the whole package.

Ricë said...

Thank you, Els. What a lovely thing to say.

The EGE is truly gorgeous in that wonderful shirt and he is also a man who is not afraid! I wish both of you a wonderful Christmas !

I am not much of a sequin lover, but really they make that shirt.

I'm with Els, you and Earl are such a joy. I love all the brightly colored walls in your home. It is warm, cozy and cheerful. The reindeer is adorable and the stitching fabulous. Thanks for sharing the moment. Happy Holidays!

You could also wire the reindeers balls (no, the ones on his horns, you know what I mean, you naughty girl) on Earls T-shirt with those pulsing christmas lights you can buy now.
