Fame and Infamy
Jan. 10th, 2006 12:11 pmSo yesterday was infamy day.
Today, on my way out of Hellerstein's class, I saw![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cynara_linnaea. I gave her half of her channukah present, which was a Sudoku calendar. She said I was evil, since now she would never do any work. Then:
cynara_linnaea:I called you earlier.
Me: I was in class, what's up?
cynara_linnaea: In my folk art class we have to do a project on a folk artist, and I want to do mine on you and your kippot.
Me: I'm a folk artist now? Cool.
So I will be the subject of a 30-page paper and a presentation.
cynara_linnaea told her professor how I made a set of matching kippot for the "Ralphi and Dassi" wedding. Ralphi!
I guess the definition of folk art is something that denotes being part of a group, and shows social status.
Anyone who would wear a kippah is Jewish. Anyone who would wear a kippah srugah is probably Modern Orthodox, Conservative, or relatively left-wing Yeshivish. Anyone who would wear a kippah srugah with The Cheat on it is one of the above, plus a nerd. But a cool nerd, because everyone loves The Cheat! Hence the social status. And maybe someday I will have people asking if something is an authentic Rachel Adler.
OMG! This idea just hit me: I want to make a magical trevor kippah! Would anyone wear a magical trevor kippah?
