Song: Jimmy Eat World - 23
'23' is an up-and-coming project with my friend Stacey Riley, where we will be creating a clothing range based on the number 23.
The story behind the name is that lately the number 23 has been haunting her, and so I typed it into Google (as you do) to see what came up as a joke and this was at the top of the list: 23 Enigma - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Other notable mentions of the number 23 include:
- Mother and Father each contribute 23 chromosomes to the fertilized egg, while within the DNA coil of genetic metaprogramming instructions there are unexplained bonding irregularities every 23rd angstrom.
- A magic(k) word used commonly, Abrahadabra, is often split up as "Abra Kadabra." 2 and 3 syllables, respectively...
- In both ancient Sumeria and Egypt, July 23, when Sirius rises behind the sun, was the beginning of the new year.
- The letter W is 23rd in the alphabet and had two points down and three points up.
- It takes 23 seconds for blood to circulate through the human body.
- The human biorhythm cycle is 23 days.
- I am 23 this year.
- 9/11/2001 9+11+2+1 = 23
The list goes on. There are also some very spooky personal references to the number which I won't note here... There was also a movie about the 23 Enigma called 'The Number 23' (2007) starring Jim Carrey.
One day we were walking down the high street joking about this number as it kept coming up again and again and we kept passing beautiful clothes shops, not typical ones, like charity shops and just weird interesting shops, then it hit me that 23 would be a great name for a brand based on this. After a quick check on Google there didn't seem to be any other clothing lines doing the same thing.
There will be male and female clothes, all 1 of-a-kind and will be purchasable via a 23 site which will be blogged here when available. Each piece will encorporate the number somehow. On the 2 below, the woman's is self explanitory, but the men's is an inverted Latin cross (which has recently been recognized as an opposition to religion promoting free thought) with an XXIII (23 in Roman numerals) as the horizontal line. It also has a ! hidden in it, as well as '23' written at the top on the back made out of 23 small hoops.
