Second Life isn’t that hot anymore, I never really understood the attractive of it myself. I downloaded the client, set up an account and played it for about 15 minutes before becoming bored, and I think about 5 minutes of that was spent giving myself various haircuts (ginormous afro FTW!).I first read about people ripping off t-shirt designs in Second Life a few years ago (in pre-HYA-istory) regarding Threadless designs, but had never heard of it happening to anyone else. I call it ripping because if these designs are being sold in Second Life then the Linden Dollars can be exchanged for real money, if it was just fan creations I’d view it in a slightly different way. Owl Movement don’t seem to be all that peeved about ‘Gee, Thanks‘ turning up in the game, so I guess this is just a case of someone really, really liking that shirt.

A nice simple hoodie today to ease me back into the blogging habit after a little break for Easter (not that I’m at all religious, but when everyone you know is off work its hard to buck the trend), I found out yesterday at a dinner party that Americans don’t get Easter Monday or Good Friday off work, I pitied you all very much whilst tucking into slow-roasted lamb.

Anyway, the stitched on bear applique is pretty cute, but its actually the hood lining that I’m far more interested in. I like the way that there is such a strong contrast between the blue on the outside and the starkness of the black and white striped lining, although I guess that the model kind of exacerbates the contrast too as she’s pretty black-and-white herself. This is presumably a high-quality piece too, as most of the items in the Jessica Louise store are hand cut and sewn, which as you would imagine does increase the amount of time between ordering and the postman dropping that package into your waiting hands (about 1-2 weeks in most cases).

It’s available in several colours, none of which are all that shy!

Robot overload! Robot overload!

This is a great idea from the gang over at Chop Shop, a tee with silhouettes of 51 robots from “film, television, books and even one from a classic rock album cover”, which is sure to get a few conversations going where you try and work out how many of them you recognise (me? disappointingly few).

Also, Chop Shop are still running a few coupons on a few of their other tees:

Use “bushed” to get BUSH BRAINS for only $5 plus shipping.

Use “seenfor6” to get AS SEEN ON WWW for only $6 plus shipping.

Use “TENDA” to get NATIONAL DESIGN ASSOCIATION for only $10 plus shipping.

Enjoy!

This brand has far too many great designs for me to just give them a quicktees link, which is why I intend to come back to them at some point in the near future, but I thought I’d let those of you that are interested in movie/horror/zombie/sci-fi tees have a look at them now rather than waiting for me to feature an individual tee. Cool vector art on the site too.
