Seoul Savvy Fashions



I haven't been very diligent in posting - not that anybody would notice b/c I'm the only person that actually visits this blog (and I have to admit it bores me to tears). But just so I can claim to be a blogger (very important so that I can keep up with the other cool cats out there) I had better actually blog. I think that I could single handedly bring down the the whole twitter/tweeting craze by posting frequent updates from my life!! Anyhoo I was busy with a class all last month (I mentioned it in an earlier post that nobody read) and so I wasn't able to keep up with my usual torrid pace of 1 post every 3 weeks.

I did, however, squeeze in some time to doodle fellow commuters, learners and diners during my CELTA course in downtown Calgary. I was especially enthralled by the panoply of Almost-English fashion items...although by far my favourite was one young chap with a t-shirt commemerating the death of Michael Jackson. For those not acquainted with the subtle nuances of Konglish (Korean-English) fashion - the lower case 'l' and upper case 'i' look very similar (l and I) which would have never been noticed by any but the most veteran of Seoul Savvy fashionistas if the manufacturer hadn't in turn capitalised the l making it L...which is actually quite easy to differentiate (L and I). The end result is a splendid t-shirt saying "MJ RLP 2009"

Here are some lunch time/commute time sketches as well:
