By Jilly Chen '13I’m going metal-free in my wardrobe. Why? I don’t hold a grudge against the Steelworkers’ Union. I’m not protesting third-world labor practices. I’m just curious to see if I can pull it off.
I participated in an fMRI experiment this weekend and I couldn’t have any metallic traces on my body. As I went through my clothing options that morning, I found the task harder than I expected. And so, I decided to challenge myself to a metal-free week. My inspiration also partly stems from The Uniform Project, in which a "pilot" pledges to wear one dress for 365 days to promote a cause.
The first picture is me on "Day O." I wore this outfit for the fMRI experiment.
1) No metal on any clothing item
2) No jewelry
*3) Purse and watch are excluded
Let's see what happens this week...

this is rather pointless.
Couldn't you give up meat or dairy or sweat-shop-made clothes for a week? Something that made some kind of difference or made you consider your actions in some kind of moral way? What a waste of time.
I see metal in your shoes (second pic) and on your purse (first).
Those wet-look tights from day 1 are rather hot - are you single?
