Knee High Friday: Vintage Clover

Despite my 24/7 commitment to being sick this week, I managed to find time to get all up in arms over Polaroids. Everyone's heard, right? In my weakened condition, this really just meant I vented to Ex, and wrote this email to my friend: "we are going nowhere as a civilization if we refuse to acknowledge polaroids as one of the greatest artistic mediums ever."

(Nice, huh? Don't you want to be my email friend? You too could get pertinent, topical missives like this delivered right to your inbox.)

Okay, so it's not like I chained myself to a Polaroid tree, but things rarely come out of my mouth that aren't about Me and Myself, so in Cloverland this constitutes as Giving Back. And look, I'm even going to share with you a website where people with more energy than I have united and mobilized. This will give you a further sense of my altruistic nature.

But because God didn't want to add insult to injury by making me suffer from "latent mono" (those were the Doctor's words) and mourn the loss of one of my favorite things this week, he led me to this website. Now, this will never make up for having a real Polaroid in your hand, but it is ridiculously fun and awesome to make your digital photos into Polaroids. Go there and live the fun now!

So in a tribute to Polaroids (RIP), here's a vintage Clover knee high foto (Remember when that was my default picture, gang? We've been through so much together!) with all kindsa vintage-y, Polaroid-friendly looks goin' on. Seriously, that picture could have totally been a Polaroid.
