Respect Your Mother (Earth) by Local Celebrity [Review]

localcelebrity1 480x360 Respect Your Mother (Earth) by Local Celebrity [Review]

The funny thing about this tee is that its not just worn by Local Celebrities, its worn by actual celebrities, like Hayden Panettiere, American Idol winner (right?) carrie Underwood, Spencer Pratt, Stacey Keibler, Andrew Bowness, and many more. Fair enough, after Hayden Panettiere that list is hardly filled with global megastars (though Pratt may have a good year in 2010 – the year of the douchebag), but its fair to say that when you’re wearing this tee then it does come with some genuine bonafide celebrity credibility.

This tee isn’t a case of green-washing either, I had wrongly presumed that since the rest of the Local Celebrity catalogue was made up of tees that you’re more likely to find in a frat house than a drum circle that this design would have its heart in the right place, but basically just be a regular t-shirt. Happily, I’m very wrong, the tee itself is organic, and proceeds from the tee (I’m not sure how much per sale) go to a charity called Global Green USA, who are apparently Hollywood’s favourite green organisation, and celebrities are always harping on about how much they do for the environment, so Global Green must be good!

As I mentioned in the last paragraph this tee isn’t like the many, many other Local Celebrity tees that I’ve reviewed over the past few weeks (and last year), its organic, which is nice, but it feels exactly the same as a regular tee from LC. I think that’s a good thing, it helps the planet in a small way (or harms it less, at least), and has pretty much no impact upon the feel and longevity of the shirt, everybody wins!

In case you can’t read the text, it says “Teenage Mutant Ninja: 80s Reference”. This tee pretty much sums up how I feel about tees that ape on cultural icons from my childhood. On the one hand, they’re usually a lot of fun, but on the other, they just seem a bit lazy, it sometimes feels as if a tee with a random 80s reference will be popular no matter how badly it is designed, so I’m glad to see the Diesel Sweeties crew making light of the trend.

Electric Zombie’s Halloween line is out now!

by Andy on October 7, 2008

in Mens,T-shirts,Womens


If you were running a clothing line that sells designs that are based around zombies, gore, skulls, and pretty much everything else that the Emptees regulars like, when would you release your latest collection?

Halloween of course! Well, slightly before Halloween I guess, since people might actually want to wear this stuff on Halloween, which I’d assume is exactly why Electric Zombie latest range of designs came staggering slowly towards us calling out for brains a couple of days ago.

As well as the totally-terrifying-tees, there are also a couple of hoodies in the range, a fresh belt design, and also a poster package featuring artists Derek Deal, Horsebites, Kyle Crawford (Mr. Electric Zombie), Chris Rushing, and Chad Lenjer.

RFK for the USA by Retro Campaigns

07.10.2008

[It has been raining rather a lot recently, so I don't think we'll be seeing many more tees photographed on the lawn for a while, which is a pity] If you’re getting sick of the election campaigning, which seems to have been going on few at least fifty years now (and I am not exaggerating, [...]
