My bright yellow rain jacket has become a part of who I am. It is a piece of clothing that people know me by and they tend to think of me when they see others wearing the same thing. Even though I have a following for my rain jacket some do not like it as much. Here are a few popular characters I have been compared to when wearing my yellow rain jacket.
1. Georgie from "It"
This is the #1 comparison I constantly get. This little boy is from the popular movie "It" where a clown lives in the sewers and eats children. I am actually terrified of clowns because of this movie, but last year for Halloween I tried to overcome my fear by doing a Pennywise/Georgie mashup costume, but that just made me even more scared of clowns and myself. Check out the pic down below. (A lot of my friends say I ruined the jacket by wearing it for the costume and that is all they see now when I wear it.)
2. Gorton's Fisherman Fishsticks
This one is also a classic comparison. This fisherman sailing his boat may look nothing like me, but as soon as I put my jacket on we somehow become twins.
3. Crossing Guard
I don't plan on directing traffic anytime soon, but someone could mix me up with a crossing guard whenever I am wearing my rain jacket.
4. The Man In The Yellow Hat
Everyone's favorite storybook character Curious George always was hanging out with the man in the yellow hat. His bright yellow attire is very similar to the color of my rain jacket as well.
5. Arthur
This book-loving aardvark may not be wearing a rain jacket, but he is sporting yellow outerwear. Maybe if I wear some glasses and light wash jeans I might be able to pass off as this cartoon charcter.
