I bought it in college at a resale store, and no one else I knew liked it. That's okay, I was also the only person I knew who was buying clothes off eBay, and look who's laughing now...or whatever.
I don't know how whales came to define preppiness, but they're there, from the iconic Vineyard Vines whale to all the JCrew whales.
So anyway, it seems to me that whales have been making a comeback in my life. For example, Patagonia. Also, I think the Twitter Fail Whale is just about the cutest thing ever, and I get the giggles every time I see it. I saw this amazing whale chalkboard posted over at ISuwannee, and I feel like it's telling me something. Something like "buy me."

Hey! I saw the link to your blog on Facebook, and thought I'd check it out. Very fun. I hope you and Robert are doing well!
ReplyDeleteThis post reminded me of this artist with a shop called Argyle Whale (not sure why she's called that, since the following print is the only whale thing in her etsy shop), which reminded me of that same print that I won in a giveaway. You can look for her shop on etsy.
