We'll find a way. Just the thought of everybody wearing stripey socks and clothing that day could really makes us feel connected to each other and to Heath.
Tomorrow's mission: Go and buy the whackiest pair of socks you can find.
:-*
Or anything with parachutes on it. Was it on the ellen show that he wore that wierd but cool on him zippy top?
Great minds and all that Mel. I'm wearing striped socks today.
:-*

I made a point of wearing black today.I also wore all black...a black jacket, a shirred black tank top, a black skirt and black boots.
:(
The idea of the taking some time during the funeral appeals to me, but if it's in OZ, timing could be a problem.
The purple hat..

The purple hat is awesome, I remember someone also posted a pic of a cartoon character next to it, does anybody remember that? God, even with goofy hats like that, Heath looked great...
It was me, I think. I'll look.
Seemed funny at the time, not meaning to be disrespectful now.

I wear my wackiest socks today. They are pink, I mean really awfully pink, and they have butterflies at the sides.
:'(

I'll get some wacky socks. I look like heck in a hat. I can't go shopping until Monday though.
i think I'll wear my stripy knee high socks tomorrow...
I was thinking of a special Brokie tribute for Heath.
What do you think if we all wear stripes (preferably striped socks of course...) on the day of his funeral or a different day to be determined? I think it would be a good way of paying respect to how he was always himself and didn't worry about what other people thought...
:'(
I bought striped socks and a striped scarf today! I wore the scarf home (it has the same color in it as Heath's famous purple hat), and I'm wearing the socks now. They have become my official websocks. ;D

When we were first coming together as a community, I used to sometimes put on my hat that reminded me of Ennis's straw hat when I sat down to read BetterMost.

I was looking for striped socks last Saturday (found a pair) and came across a striped scarf. Purple, mind you. I bought both. Nobody will notice, since I've always loved stripes and own many striped items of clothing. But I know, that's enough.
...
LOVE the idea.
Eventhough I've been wearing black since last Wednsday I did go buy a orange and purple check handknitted scarf and I've been wearing it every day. Mom is knitting me a purple hat, but I love my beige and brown beanie with big pompom. I don't know if there are any striped socks in the stores near by(very yuppie area) but a trip to the city will most likely turn up stripped socks. Ohh maybe the sports store has Rugby socks, I'll check it out. Red and White thats what Heath wore once,LOL.
Does anyone know when the funeral is in Perth? I had heard that is was to be either Friday or Saturday, Austrailia time(that would make it Thursday or Firday on the East coast,USA)I like the taking and posting pictures part I'm curious to see.

When I read the article about Shem, and that he designed Heath's T shirt with the big red skull on it, I was thinking it would likely be this one, that we can't really see in this picture.
It looks like the Shell logo that is turned into a skull.
BTW- I had a t-shirt made with "Damn you, Ennis" on it.
