Heart on My Sleeve

I know. It’s been a while, my life has been scattered so my posts have been lacking. But that isn’t what’s important. What IS important is that I have come back for this post with THIS :

This is, ladies and gentlemen, the latest line of clothing from a celebrity. Aubrey O’Day is in Danity Kane . I just found out that Danity Kane is apparently not the same thing as PCD . You see, past The Spice Girls, I assume that ’singing’ groups that are comprised of several girls are all the same. Apparently, the aren’t? But I digress.

Ms. O’Day has come up with a line of clothing featuring t’s for men and women, underwear and bizarre head accessories .

Now, I would LOVE to spend all my time on the bizarre head accessories , and how they are so poorly done that not even an alt would wear them to be ironic. Even though I know they know they are supposed to be post-ironic now, I don’t know if one could help their self. But once again, the greatness of this latest collection of clothing has gotten the best of me.

On to the T’S!

This line features everything:

T’s for the pre-teen:

T’s for the emo (just ignore the fact that it is in yellow):

T’s for the people who are sluts, just in case everyone DIDN’T know:

Anyway, you get the idea. Hell, you could come up with names for the perspective buyer of these t’s yourself. It’s not that hard. Where I am going with this is: The shirts are terrible, they could all be found at Wal-mart. With the exception of the slutty ones, and the fact that they are printed on American Apparel.

The designs are lacking, I mean really, if I hired graphic designers to come up with these AWESOME designs, I would fire these people. The messages are slut-tastic, but so is DK. And they have a deliciously, and by ‘deliciously’ I mean wretched, gimmick of a heart printed on every sleeve in lieu of the name of the line. Barf.

I cannot, however, leave this post without some positivity. So here goes: Points for the American Apparel . Points for the line of clothing about Aubrey . I mean if you can get shirts to pimp out yourself, good for you. And points to the ANTM contestants who got jobs, but they aren’t smiling with their eyes!

Here’s the headband:

I couldn’t help it, they are kind of growing on me.

Thank YOU Heart on My Sleeve Shop

OH! And another thing: the image at the top of the site, the take off of Sixteen Candles bothers me too. Like the JC Penny’s Breakfast Club commercial.

Teecycle.org

Today, I came across a super-sweet blog; teecycle.org . You can sell your cool old t’s through these people. Yes I know, you COULD do it through e-bay, or craigslist. Or you COULD rummage through your neighborhood thrift shop. But c’mon! Everyone knows specialized sites are waaaay cooler! And the internet doesn’t smell like grandma .

I like almost all of the t’s on this site, here is one of my favorites:

You should also check out the PBR one .

Thank YOUteecycle.org

Marc Jacobs Trompe l’oeil Neckerchief T

I was perusing netaporter.com this afternoon. Looking at things I cannot afford is one of my favorite past times. And whilest looking at the t-shirts, as I am also want to do, my eyes were met with this little dandy:

I do like scarves with my t-shirts. What better than a scarf on your t-shirt! Plus, it was on the runway, which makes it mah-jah. And to top it all off, I do like Marc Jacobs, I especially like that he has a tattoo of himself on him arm, Matt Groening style .

Thank YOU Net-a-porter

Urbanite

Here is a t I like from Fatlace for the 2008 s/s collection. I really like the ‘illest’ t, i think it is pretty sweet. There is something so delightful about a popular slang word in that pristine script font.

Thank you Fatlace

Words on a Shirt

Could someone please tell me why placing the word “bitches” on a t-shirt makes the statement on the shirt better?

See the following:

This shirt is magnanimously popular during the St. Patrick’s day festivities (there are 2 celebrations every year and this year 3, in the town I live in). Adding “bitches” to the end of sentences fell out of vogue sometime last year around October, I believe it was. So much was “bitches’” fall from grace that when Britney states “It’s Britney, bitch” at the beginning of her single “Gimme More” it makes you want to cringe. AND YET this t-shirt is still popular. Although, I must confess, our design is cuter.
