Purple Boots

My students are in the midst of a project where they will do an analysis of a film poster, then create their own poster for the same movie, but emphasizing a different theme. I had a look at their poster drafts today, and one in particular caught my eye. It features, among other things, a female character wearing a pink dress and purple boots. I commented to the poster's creator that I appreciated his fashion choices. He replied "the purple boots are in honor of you." See, on the first day of class I had worn my purple boots, along with jeans, a purple and gold shirt, my lime green ultra-suede jacket and big hair -- I feel that it's only fair to let my students know who they are dealing with from day one. Anyway, it seems that I made an impression.

I wonder if there are other references to me embedded in students' work. It's like being in The Da Vinci Code.
