Okay, here is a quirky little bit of Jackie info. I’ve been collecting metal lunchboxes since college. I don’t have a huge collection, maybe half a dozen or so. It started when I was in the midst of my undergrad degree and I went into Junkman’s Daughter’s Brother in Athens, GA. This is one of those stores that has everything from costumes to Hello Kitty stuff to metal lunchboxes. I bought The Green Hornet, which turned into my signature college accessory. I took it everywhere, and I was even introduced to strangers once or twice as “the girl with the hair and the lunchbox.” Now, remember that I was an art student in college, and in addition to this lunchbox I could also be seen sporting a bright red trenchcoat and red argyle knee socks. And wild curly hair. I was fearless.
