So, work has been a bitch and I haven’t had time to think for a month, nevermind post on here regularly as I really wanted to do.  I don’t want this to be another ’started but couldn’t be arsed’ tshirt blog - and I am determined it won’t be.

So, to the tees!

Nadia Plesner decided last year to do some good in the world.  She created a tshirt with a thought provoking and somewhat controversial design, with the idea of helping out with the Darfur crisis.  All proceeds from the shirt go straight to Divest for Darfur.  So, the shirt:

Now the bag might look familiar, even though it doesn’t use the brand name or logo.  Louis Vuitton anyone?  I guess it is pretty obvious.  Which presumably is why Vuitton are taking action to try and remove the design from Nadia’s site, even though it is purely for charity.  She is being sued for $7,500 per day for showing the image, and another $7,500 for using the Louis Vuitton name on her site.  Crazy?  Yes, but she is fighting back.

If you want to support, go and buy a shirt.  Leave a comment in support.  Or just burn your Vuitton bag.

Well at the end of the last post I apologised for the lack of updates and said I would be posting more often again.  Well, I guess I lied because work is a bitch at the moment and I don’t have too much in the way of spare time.

That said, I couldn’t resist posting about the Threadless sale going on right now, because it really is too good to miss.

Oh.  My.  God.

I don’t know if any of you have ever written a blog before, but posting something like this takes a little while.  And while I was retreiving the above image from the Threadless site, I noticed a tee I hadn’t spotted yesterday when I was looking at the new shirts.

I looked at it, thought about it and then had a ‘moment’ - “I NEED THAT SHIRT!“.  Now I’ve not had such a moment very often before, but when they come along you don’t really want to be around because I go a bit nuts.

The below tee might just be the BEST tee I have ever seen.  I have already ordered it, despite only recently placing an order with Threadless.  I am only gutted that the XL and XXL hoodies are already sold out otherwise I would have to have one of those too.

Do you agree that it is awesome?  Hmm, maybe you have to think Resevoir Dogs is one of the best movies ever made?  That probably helps.

Deep breath.  Okay.  That’s better.

I was going to post about this tee while complaining about the tee colour, but it’s almost meaningless now.  Ah well I’ll post it anyway because it’s cool.

[EDIT]Wait, it’s a reprint?  The best shirt ever made is a reprint?!  Why hadn’t I noticed it before??  I’m somewhat of a Threadless addict, so how the hell did I miss that?  Man alive, I need to be more of a tee geek in future.  Maybe I’ll as Karl for some tips!

Karl over on his blog, tcritic.com, made a very interesting post recently showcasing various tshirt/fashion related Facebook applications.

Now I’m not a  big Facebooker, but I didn’t realise that ONE such application existed, nevermind a dozen or more.  Now some of them are fairly cool (Threadless Plus) wherease others are just, well, almost meaningless.

In terms of users, My Label has by far the most (241 daily active users).

Anyway, head over to tcritic to read the whole post.
