Local Celebrity, who I like to think are a cut above the rest of the ‘funny’ crowd, have got a
sale on at the moment. All you have to do is use the
coupon code hotforteacher when you’re checking out whichever tees you’ve thrown into your virtual basket, and you’ll receive a 20% discount. They’re calling it a back to school sale, but I think that most of their 80s references will fly over the heads of most high schoolers.

I liked the Olympics opening ceremony (colours! fireworks! dancing!), but there was one thing that really annoyed me. When they were making the speeches someone said something along the lines of “we’ve met all the aims and goals that the IOC gave us in hosting these games,” and I sat up in my chair a little bit since I’m pretty sure one of the conditions of them hosting the games was that they eased up on treating their own people like crap, yet they’ll just sweep that under the rug (and everyone else in the world will let them) and pretend that everything’s fine for a couple of weeks. With that little rant in mind, I’m really glad that
Shirtspotting put together a post of tees that I wouldn’t dare wear in Beijing, so fair play to the woman above!

I got an e-mail a couple of days ago (from someone that isn’t Gary Gao) which just contained the URL to this t-shirt, I didn’t actually click through because I was just checking my e-mails on my iPhone and we don’t have 3G (or even Edge) around here so I just moved on to the next e-mail, when I revisited the link today I realised it was fate. The link led through to a t-shirt design by Gary Gao, and I’m actually wearing the
Gary Gao’s Ghost Camera’s hoodie right now, so I felt pretty compelled to post this tee. I’m not just posting it because of that moment of serendipity, he’s a great designer and really knows what goes into a good tee.

This jacket may not be all that wallet-friendly, but I really like it. From a distance it looks fairly simple, but when you look at the close up views there’s actually quite a lot of interesting lines and stitching that elevate this from being a typical jacket.

The rest of the pics in this post are hidden behind a cut for reasons that will become obvious if you click through (hint: nipples), so if you’re at work it might not be a good idea to read the rest of this post… unless you work at Playboy.
If you can tear yourself away from the models, you’ll find that the clothes they’re almost wearing are actually pretty cool. This ‘micro collection’, as they’re calling it, was created by the French designer Akroe (site contains slowly flashing images; this post is filled with danger!), for the French label Six Pack.
