“Art Capes”
Yesterday, Sarah and I took a break from setting up our garage sale (which FYI is TOMORROW in Livonia, in Old Rosedale Gardens). We headed out to Troy for what looked to be an insane hoarder sale. We’ll be doing a longer entry on this sale next week, but for the time being, all you need to know is that the whole sale pretty much looked like this:
[Editor’s Note: I just noticed that brown bear face-planted in the foreground of this photo, and am now dying laughing.]
Anyway, at this sale, I noticed these things, which I called “art capes”:
These are like little plastic apron shirts that I remember wearing in kindergarten while painting. Or at least I remember something similar to these…
Anyway, I said to Sarah, “Did you see those adorable art capes?” I thought Sarah was going to explode or punch me or maybe start seizing from disbelief. She yelled out, “ERIN!”, which sounds like “AIRRRRR-INNNNNNNN.” You know, like a really calm and collected person speaks, except not.
Sarah went on to explain that these are actually Halloween costumes from the 80s. I didn’t believe it. Sarah is 7 years older than me, so she DOES know more about the 80s, and yet still, I am still skeptical.
If these are costumes, they’re lame. And I feel bad for any kid who had to be these instead of a ballerina pig like I was.

Update from Sarah: Can anyone else back me up here? These were costumes, right? ALSO, Erin said absolutely nothing to me about wearing something similar in kindergarten, so I think she’s trying to cover her ass.
