ok as some of you know last month i went to vancouver and i saw phantom of the opera live. (incase you do not know i am obsessed with that story). any way i was really hoping to be able to buy a phantom t-shirt that i could wear with pride and show off my obsession. but wouldent you know it the queen elizibeth theater was not selling any merchindise. i was dissapointed but then i found out that you could order a t-shirt over the internet. as soon as i got home i ran up to the computer and looked up the website hoping to be able to buy the t-shirt. but they were expensive..and i do not have that much skill when it comes to ordering things off of the internet. so a couple weeks passed and i was dissapointed because i did not have a phantom shirt.
But then i thought i could just make one... and i did. yesterday i made my very own phantom t-shirt. that i can wear with pride. i went to marks work wear house in sidney and bought a plain white long sleve t-shirt. for about 22 dollers. and my loving mom bought some transfer paper. well i spent yesterday affter school trying to think of something to put on this shirt to make it phantomish but not so i was copyrightin the shirts that normaly get sold at the performaces or over the internet. on the front of my shirt it says "the opera ghost really exsited"-gaston leroux (gaston leroux was the guy who wrote the original book). and on the back it says phantom fan. right now i am trying to figure out how to put a rose on it. which should be easy enough. considering i already have the rose pic that i want on.
i am actually kind of glad that they were not selling the "authantic" t-shirts at the show . because making this shirt was fun . also my mom and my dad helped me make it, and then my brother desided that since there was like 3 pages of transfer paper left he would make a t-shirt that said something to. so this was more like a family bonding activity. we all sort of got involved. just because silly me wanted a shirt. i liked it. if i just bought the shirt there never would have been this "family time" that happend well making the shirt . and the shirt would not be uniqe it would just be like every one elses who might have bought a phantom shirt.
