cimorene: cartoony drawing of a woman's head in profile giving dubious side-eye (working)

I have many warm and achingly nostalgic memories of hoodies from my childhood strongly associated with my favourite aunt and uncle, who always wore them on our many camping trips. I remember their ubiquity at K-mart type places through the 1980s, but as I recall they weren't really fashionable until sometime around the millenium shift, and they've pretty much stayed around constantly since then.

"I wonder when the hoodie was invented?" I said to wax. She said I could probably find out. (Google before you ask!) One Google later, and...

...As early as the 1930s?

Yesterday wax and I had a Serious Talk About Hoodies. She expressed that hoodies don't look flattering on her, so even though her new hobby is obsessing over emo boys (and their hoodies), which would normally make her be all over hoodies like white on rice, she was planning to just continue to appreciate hoodies vicariously on me. But then I realised that my Amherst hoodie is so giant on me that it would even fit over her boobs, so I made her put it on and it was really cute, although the whole NAME OF LIBERAL ARTS COLLEGE IN SATIN element kind of negated any emo value it might otherwise have had. I might be able to make her buy one, though, now. (I only have one - well, two - well, three, counting the Amherst one. Anyway, not that many hoodies. I obviously need more.)

It's actually a teacup. XD Wax has two of them. She hates the regular sized ones.

No!! The attached hoodie is a separate garment! Also a nice one, though.
