NMLE

In October I started seeing name bombs of what looked to be everything from "NMLE" to "NMW" to "NMle" all over campus. At first it was just sporadically, but lately its been a more and more common occurrence. For the most part I encountered it mainly near South Campus, but it has since spread to almost every part of campus. It wasn't until November 13 that I realized what it really was.

The tag NMLE is actually a reference to a sticker on campus with a gorilla and very long and spidery font saying Anemelly. On the lower right of the sticker there's the abbreviation NMLE. Who knows if this is the same person, or if the abbreviation / name is just being used, but it is now all over campus.

Further investigation shows that NMLE (Anemelly) is actually a clothing brand with a Facebook page, as well as a Tumblr blog.

This got me excited because it is a familiar symbol from Fairhaven stickers, and the 2/4 seems to indicate it is part of a series.
