Borders Without Fashion's name came about after a lot of debate, but upon seeing a poster displayed outside the clothing workshops at uni, it pretty much clinched it. Here it is:
Coco: So one beautiful Gala day Emily and I were working hard as usual in the workshops. We had both individually came across the Lez-Bean poster, that’s what it’s been nicknamed. When we seen each other later that day, we both said to one another have you seen the lesbian poster. We thought it would be funny to name our imaginary blog this, after a few attempts of coming up with names. A few days had past, we giggled some and joked some about the poster. Then Emily dared me to steal (we do not condemn stealing normally, but in this instance it was necessary)
How I managed to acquire the poster from the walls of the workshops.
Naturally took on the dare silently, meaning I didn’t agree to the dare, but in my head I was like hell yeah.
A few days pass, I was walking towards the poster with a friend. I looked at the poster, then looked at my bag, seeing if it was big enough to accommodate the poster, which would be folded. I looked at my friend, who I was in mid-convo with and said one sec, just need to grab something. I checked if the coast was clear, walking closer and closer to it, then NAB, as quick as that, it was in my bag, and then I apologized for my action to my friend and went on my way to knit.
Later that evening I went back to the flat and presented it to Emily. We laughed together for about 3 and half minutes, and we knew this was the beginning of our blog.
Em: One of the reasons the name is so appealing is because we study at the Scottish School of Textiles, in the Scottish Borders, and it is sometimes very much without fashion. Welcome to our blog!
