So for those of you who don't know, my twitter and instagram usernames are beerexie. Beerexie comes from my nickname "B-Rex" and this is the story of how I came to be known as "B-Rex"
In February 2011, five friends and I traveled to Japan. We spent a few days exploring Tokyo and then headed to Niseko to ski. While we were in the airport on our way to Niseko, one of my friends was telling us about the idea that your arm span should be the same as your height. So here we are in the middle of the airport, measuring our arm spans up against a wall. When it got to my turn, we discovered that my arm span is a few inches shorter than my height. Almost instantaneously, the boys in the group started calling me T-Rex. The T in T-Rex was then dumped in favour of a B.
I couldn't have "b_rex" or "brex" when I changed my twitter username, so I went with "beerexie" as a homage to my newest and definitely most original nickname!
My nickname also means I get spammed with images such as these:
But it's all in good fun and I love it.
When I told the boys I was staying with in NYC about it, they whole heartedly embraced it and wanted to buy me a shirt with "T-Rex hates pushups" on it.
So there you go, that is the story of how I became B-Rex or beerexie!!
xx love BeeRexie
