Silly poll: spontaneous accessorizing

[labricoleuse]

We were having a frivolous discussion at work about spontaneous accessorizing using random objects, and i thought that i might post a poll on the topic, just for fun.

This came about because we have a bunch of little fins and cones and barnacle-shaped sparkly bright objects that we're making, and people in the shop passing our tables inevitably pick them up and put them on. The most common usage is to put them on the head, like a hat. One of the first hands on the Pig Team however will take two of them and hold them up as a makeshift bra. In the ensuing discussion, i was reminded of the armorer i worked with for whom everything random and cool became an instant makeshift codpiece.

So, if you are the sort of person who grabs random items--from a horsehair pouf to a bunch of rubber grapes--and immediately sees the accessorizing potential, tell me:

I think humans have a compulsion to put things on their heads. Putting it on your head is fun! And, it provides a whole new sensory experience. Wearing a hat changes the weight and balance of your head, it does interesting things to peripheral vision if the object comes low enough. I've been a nanny and a preschool teacher and experience tells me it's a weird little human drive to put stuff on your head. I loved it when the kids would put purses on their heads as 'helmets'. Other things include books, pots, buckets, blankets, boots, and even chairs. Hilarity!
