Wild Tigers I Have Known (On Scarves)
So last winter I bought this really wacky silk scarf at an antique shop in the lovely land of Shell Beach. I don't think I had any intention of wearing it; I just like tigers, mostly because of Mary Timony (who writes songs with "tiger" in the title, and who used to drape her keyboard with this tiger-printed tapestry thing that once inspired me to buy an amazing tiger t-shirt in one of those Las Vegas shops that sells faux-turquoise necklaces and dream catchers). The scarf was something like three dollars and I figured I'd take it home and keep it around just to look at every now and again. And so far that's been dandy, but then the other day after writing about Iggy Pop's snarling-leopard jacket, I started wondering if maybe the scarf wasn't meant for bigger things. The trouble is, I can't think of a damn thing to do with it. (One time, just for kicks, I tried wearing it as a head scarf for three seconds in my kitchen, and I ended up just looking like a REALLY WEIRD pirate.) So, dear reader, I'm asking: Do you have any ideas on what to do with my big crazy tiger scarf? I'm open to using as decor somehow, possibly in my car. (I'm really into tacky car decor; right now I've got a pair of teddy bears on the dashboard and stupid stickers all over the glove box.) All genius and very much non-genius ideas can please be emailed my way. Oh, and the scarf's about 2' x 2', FYI.
Thank you; you're grrrrrrreat!
