Friday night I went to an art opening. “a/version of yourself” by Sophia Bartholomew is now installed at topdown bottomup.
In short, the project involves Sophia creating a new shirt for each day of the year. The completed shirts are placed in an interactive library where people can not only browse the shirts but can also chose to exchange whatever shirt the viewer is currently wearing for a shirt from the art installation. Quoting the signs: “to loan a shirt, leave your shirt behind.”
I left with this beauty.

It’s true. Alice really is a beauty in that photo.
Haha… Fanks!
Shouldn’t the sign say “to BORROW a shirt behind”? Or if they mean it the other way, it should be “to LEND a shirt…”. Sorry, I’ve just got this thing about loan/lend. Hint: the first is a NOUN, dammit, and the second is a VERB. Sighhhh…..
I think that use of “loan” is totally cromulent.
It seems the art show was successful in eliciting an emotional response.
What can I say? I’m left completely garumbuless by the sheer (shear, in light of the new look?) raliocity of the artistic message. (Or, I suppose, if you start taking shirts off, the artistic massage?)
Hmmm. Meant “to borrow a shirt leave a shirt behind”, of course. Late in the day.

Heh. Says Sophia.
Doug gets OWNED…
He may have been wrong, but he was probably not in doubt. : )
Godammit: one more reason to regard Wikiwhatever as just some form of senseless, populist bilge. Ask yourself: what would the Queen say? Would SHE say “Philip…loan me a dime”. No. First, she doesn’t know what a dime is. Thinks it’s ‘Strine for “dame”. But more importantly she knows it’s wrong. And she is NOT amused.
Would the queen say, “Philip… Borrow me a dime”?
Philip… loan Doug a botnet. Canadian Tyre seems to be out.
