Thing-a-day is a yearly creative sprint where, every year in February, participants commit to creating one new thing a day and post it on a collective blog. 2010 was thing-a-day's fourth edition and the first to run on Posterous. We're gearing up for 2011 so come back mid-January for more updates!

25: TV doctors dressed for other jobs #13
S'Urtzu is a traditional creature in a Sardinian carnival. His suit is made out of a goat plus lots of cowbells. It's a once-a-year job.
The actor who played Dr. Frazier (police medical examiner) is 6'6" tall, so this would look really impressive. Also, he's the son of the mayor of Oakland.
Day Fifteen - Another Page
Today I did a couple more pages in my little book. The left page is covered in metallic blue star stickers and the right is watercolored, then sprinkled with salt for texture. On top of that was silvery glitter pen and pastels in swirls.
When I went to take the picture at first the camera didn't focus. I retook it, but when I saw the blurry one I actually liked it because it kind of went with the dreaminess of the image, so I put them together for a diptych.

11: TV doctors dressed for other jobs #6
When NHS Wales standardized its nursing uniforms, among the goals were (a) preventing nurses from being mistaken for doctors or other kinds of staff, (b) making sure no one would ever want to wear these things off duty (to avoid bringing in germs from elsewhere in space and time), and (c) requiring short sleeves "to maximise forearm washing culture."
[Update: Oh no, I've made a terrible mistake: the sky-blue uniforms are for staff nurses -- clinical specialist nurses are supposed to be in royal blue. No wonder he looks kind of annoyed.]
9: TV doctors dressed for other jobs #5
The selection of Dr. Teeth was controversial for several reasons: it wasn't clear what he was a doctor of; he didn't have a first name, and the Archbishop normally goes by his first name; and it might be confusing for Anglicans because he looked too much like his predecessor, Rowan Williams. But the other leading candidate, Dr. Bunsen Honeydew, had performed unethical experiments and, even worse, had no fashion sense. The rest was history.
