For the last month or so, my sister and I haven't been able to get enough of that Kia Soul hamster commercial. You know the one. If one of us is in another room when it comes across the TV screen, we yell to the other to hurry in to sing along and mimic the dance moves. (Suddenly overcome by the urge to do the same? Go here.)
Loving this commercial so much and watching it so frequently means that, at least lately, my mind is limited to just one song ("The Choice Is Yours") and one image (hamsters in hoodies). Suffice it to say, I end up rapping and swaying in the break room, by the copier and through the halls, which has led to conversations during which others reveal their great affection for this very piece of advertising genius. Today, I achieved a whole new level of delight when my friend Beth told me her husband Dave, a frequent wearer of old school hoodies, not only digs the commercial but actually rented a Soul while out of town the other weekend. (Insert hamster squeaks here.)
But back to the point. The Kia hamsters have brought the Black Sheep and hoodies back into my music and wardrobe rotations respectively. I realized, too, that I could really use another hoodie come fall. And what do you know - a little research revealed I could get with this eco option, or I could get with that.
THIS: Made by A.D.O. Clothing, this all-natural herb-infused hoodie is made from 100% organic cotton. Other features: engraved wood buttons and a drawstring for a relaxed fit. Available in navy or wine. Hand wash. About $48 + shipping.
THAT: For those who like to ride big snowy hills and those who want to look urban hip while keeping warm during winter, Volcom's Green Thumb Organic Zip Hoodie is 100% organic cotton and decked out with low-impact screens inks and embroidery. $50 + shipping. Other options for guys and dolls can be found here. Doo. Dah. Dippity. ~A.F.
