What you’re wearing

Heavy lettering pulled sideways in strips, with cyan and pink turning up where the edges were meant to be. It has the look of a picture you could probably improve by adjusting something, except you have become rather fond of what is wrong with it. The name is still perfectly legible. We saw no reason to repair the interesting part.
