Big Kid Johnson

Yesterday I only shared one side of the story...  Here is another fun one from Johnny Cupcakes called "Big Kid Johnson".  This tee is similar in style to the "Big Kid Birdy," which I wrote about yesterday.  This one is obviously paying tribute to Magic, and what a way to do so.  Magic has gained a few pounds from his playing days, but I don't think he has eaten this many cupcakes just yet. 

Similar to yesterday you can pick this up for $35.99.  If you are a Lakers fan who likes to have some fun, get this t-shirt for sure.  The Lakers are down in the series so they can certainly use the support.  Enjoy.

Big Kid Birdy

With the NBA Finals in full gear what a better way to support your favorite team than with a Johnny Cupcakes tee which is fun, old school, and new school all at the same time.  Big Kid Birdy is the perfect shirt to show your a Celtics fan from back in the days of Bird.

This tee has been around for a bit and I have wanted to post it since I saw it, but I thought now would be the perfect time.  I love the how fun and playful this t-shirt is.  Although it not an official Celtics t-shirt, with that mustache I do not think there is any question who this tee is honoring.  This cotton masterpiece can be yours for 35.99.  A little costly, but what a better time to own this bad boy?  Stay tuned for something similar tomorrow...

Brooklyn Industries We Go Hard!

 Brooklyn Industries isn't your average t-shirt company -- they have expanded their market by not limiting their art to one canvas.  They set themselves apart from their competitors by offering an array of styles which can be accessorized with other items that can also be found on their website brooklynindustries.com. 

Their rapid success can bet attributed to their fourteen stores -- ten of which are split between Brooklyn and Manhattan and the others in major cities throughout the United States.  The company's style is a contemporary mix of quirky intelligence and fun.  Many of the shirts are a relaxed-style tee that is accompanied by a clever message.  I personally am a fan of this company because of its use of words on a t-shirt; although all the tees messages aren't serious there are many that have a great message!
The tee features is called Pigeon? 2 M it is best described as a: 

A tongue-in-cheek play on Rene Magritte's famous painting, The Treachery of Images using our Brooklyn Industries mascot - the pigeon instead of a pipe. (our tee says "this is not a pigeon" in French)

Tees are available in men's, women's and children's sizes. Very cool and worth it to check them out!

bLeecKeR tEEs: Long Island Tropical Paradise"

This t-shirt literally made me laugh out loud the first time I saw it, LOL, jk.  My friend from Long Island, aka Strong Island, aka the Tropical Paradise first introduced me to this cotton gem. 
I do not know much about bLeecKeR tEEs except that they make funny, clever tees.  Typically I am not one for these types of shirts, but this one is just on another level.

The description bLeecKeR gives Long Island Tropical Paradise is so priceless I will stick with their own words.  Here they are:

"I’ve never been to Long Island but from what I hear, it sounds amazing. The indigenous people often tell me of the endless beaches, tropical waters, and delicious bagels. This island paradise claims among its residents both Billy Joel and Bill O’Reilly. With such well known Bills calling it home, Long Island must surely be an incredible place. Perhaps one day I’ll retire to this tropical paradise, sit under the lush palm trees and let the sweet sounds of steel drums lull me off to sleep."

If you are from the island or are friends with someone from Long Island please buy this t-shirt.  The tee is light blue with green print and can be bought for only $8.99!  Every time I see the shirt it makes me laugh, so I hope it makes you laugh too.

New Johnny Cupcakes Tees!

These are two new Johnny Cupcakes tees for the summer.  On the blog it said they would be up today or the latest tomorrow.  Well they weren't up today, so hopefully they will be posted tomorrow!  In total there are five new tees being released.

So I chose the Jaws shirt because I think it is fun and witty.  This shirt is obviously poking fun at the famous movie, Jaws.  I appreciate the bib on the shark, as well as, the Johnny Cupcakes logo on the back with a big shark bite missing.  I think this is a fun summer tee which will get people to smile (especially if you wear it on Martha's Vineyard where the movie was filmed).  In the same regard you may get some older folks confused as to how Jaws and cupcakes fit together.  Either way this t-shirt is the perfect way to kick off the summer, so go pick it up before anyone.

The other shirt I chose to share was just a purple logo tee.  There isn't anything exciting about this one, but it is classically Johnny Cupcakes and I love the color.  The color is fresh and fun for this summer.

If you like these tees check the site tomorrow, hopefully they will be up.  Enjoy!

Vaughn de Heart Tees Inspire

Don't have much time to elaborate today, but I will be writing another post about this company in greater detail within the next few weeks, but wanted to share something with you since I have been m.i.a. for a bit.

Let's talk about Vaughn de Heart and their first design "Les gens courageux".  This saying in French translates to "The fearless ones".  Apparently the words are referring to the creator's (RoyLyn Le'Vaughan Palmer-Coleman) fear of starting this awesome little t-shirt company.  To be honest I do not know what the fear was at all.  All of these t-shirts are to the point and bold.  The tees are not bold in a tacky or over the top way either, there is a simplicity and elegance to them which I greatly enjoy.

I do appreciate the message behind this shirt though.  We all have fears, the fear of failure holds many of us back from taking risks and reaching our true potential.  I commend Vaughn de Heart for taking that leap and coming out with a unique fun product.  If you are into this tee as much as I am pick it up for $22.  Enjoy!
