Fave Random Tweet July 14

I'm like Che Guevera with bling on.

While some of Sir Twitalot's fave random tweets are long, there is another subset that are short, but have an artiness combined with a certain feisty mien that bring a delight to long boring roll of tweets that pour out in the Twitterverse.

And this one from
Anastasiab is one such tweet.

Che Guevera - iconic image of the revolutionary - now emblazoned on millions of sweatshop made T-shirts. Che Guevera, who left Argentina to help with the Cuban revolution, is not the sort of hirsute asthmatic we associate with a golden grill.









And that is why Sir Twitalot gives the tweetprops to Miss Anastasiab - the element of the mix, the mash-up, the dialectic material crunch of Che Guevara and Bling yields us a new vision for the revolutionary - one who is willing to drag their ass through the jungle to stop social injustice but will not die a fashion victim.

anastasiab assimilates the icon of class struggle while adorning herself in the glittering metals of the upper class she so wants to take down.


She is a complex conundrum, a sexy warrior poet, she knows that her image, should it ever shine from T shirts, posters and the likes, will be trademarked and copywritten, so that her martyrdom, unlike Che's, will be bringing in bank for her grandchildren.

anastasiab - you updated Old School, or as Che would have said, Escuela Vieja, in your tweet. May you lead us in the goal to overthrow the Wall Streeters who have taken it all from us, leaving us sparse pickings at the Wal Mart and 99 cents store. Ain't no bling there, we know. Only thing there are frozen waffles and keychains.

Keep up da tweet!
