This week The Yetee has been selling t-shirts (three to be exact) for the Speed Demos Archives annual Summer gaming marathon – the Summer Games Done Quick, which raises money for charity! The Yetee is donating $3 from every shirt sold; it will go directly to The Organization for Autism Research, a worthy cause indeed. I can’t stress enough how cool The Yetee, the Speed Demos Archives, and the artists are for putting this all together, truly inspiring.
For the next few hours, you can still buy the first of three tees, Speed Runnin’, designed by Ryan Haak AND immediately after that, Pixel Pandamoniumby Drew Wise will go live! (You’re getting a sneak peek thanks to Glen at The Yetee, thanks Glen!) This new design, shown right above, is not only packed with popular video game characters, all done in Drew’s pixely style, but it also glows in the dark! You are sure to be noticed while wearing this tee!
What you should do:
Go watch the gaming marathon LIVE at Speed Demo Archive, it started today!
One last thing, go let artists Ryan Haak and Drew Wise know how great they are for taking the time to work with this event and for creating designs we all want to wear!
Remember to check back here on HYA or at The Yetee for the last of the three tees – you won’t be sorry!
So lookie here, if you haven’t heard already, the folks over at The Yetee are offering three tees over the next six days that not only generate smiles from gamers and tee lovers alike, but also a portion goes to a very worthy charity! See, $3 from each shirt sold will be donated to The Organization for Autism Research, a worthy cause if I don’t say so myself. (Oh, I already did!)
Not only that, but this event is in coordination with a Gaming Marathon – The Summer Games Done Quick or SGDQ, hosted by Speed Demo Archives! Let me tell you more about SGDQ: it is a whooping 4 days of gaming (a marathon, if you will), in which speedruns of games are livecast and better yet, most of the characters on the t-shirts featured on The Yetee are from the games played during the marathon! The livecast starts today, May 24th – go check it out!
So on to the tees, what you all are really excited about! The first design Speed Runnin’ (shown above), is by Ryan Haak – nice one Ryan! This t-shirt is FULL of our favorite video game characters, speeding on through almost like they will burst right out of the tee on that Warthog! Again you have to remember $3 from your purchase will be going to a more than noble charity, and I know you wanna help, right?
Keep an eye out here on HYA for a sneak peek at the next two tees – I’ll keep you posted!
Lovely mixed bag of tees from Threadless this week! Happy New Today / Back Today collection for this blogger!
New Today on Wednesday brought us 3 Cynics by Marko Vuleta-Djukanov, it looks like a crazy modern art poster, I love the mixed sized cats in their scarves and their tiny suspecting eyes!
I like tees that have zebras on them, they beat Pandas to being my favourite black and white animal. Nature of Crime by Dewi Herawati is a great mix of the animal and ‘Police Line Do Not Cross’ tape, something about yellow and black together that really works for me.
Back today yesterday was the fantastical The Original Copycat by Budi Satria Kwan, easily one of the very best and more reprinted designs on Orange tees on Threadless. I’d love to get this for my daughter, I think she’d find it both hilarious and cute.
A Few Of My Favourite Things by Reagan Lee is the New Today tee, seems like someone likes guitars. Not entirely sure what the appeal of this tee is, not only does it look like a High Street tee, it looks like a kid’s High Street tee. Not a fan.
Back today is an all important Charity tee, I feel the design pops more on the Girly Fit V Neck in Plum, 25% of sales from this tee will go to the DNA Foundation’s mission to end child sex slavery and human trafficking. This tee is Freed by Alex Solis.
I would be lying if I said that the shirts at Purpleberry Blue were of my typical style, but that’s okay, partly because I don’t have to like everything, and partly because they only sell shirts for women and children. 10% of every shirt sold on Purpleberry Blue goes to help Crohn’s disease research, and that’s not just some charity that they’re picked out of the air, it means something. Will, the guy that started PB, suffered from Crohn’s disease from the age of 12 to 19, I don’t know how old he is now but I get the feeling that he is one of the fortunate one’s who have been able to get over the disease, and because he feels lucky to have his health back he wants to help others. I respect that a lot and wish him the best of luck.
You may be aware that there was a film made last year about Bullying in U.S. schools that has been released recently (to a bit of a furore about it receiving an R rating, effectively stopping the people it’s about from seeing it, which was later changed to PG-13 after a few edits). As yo would imagine there is also a campaign around the film to help raise awareness for bullying, the impact it can have on people’s live and to try and stop kids from being horrible to each other.
Kate Upton has provided her (very pretty) face to front the campaign and has also produced a PSA about bullying which you can see above. Why is this on HYA? Because I thought it would be good to mention a serious issue for a change, and because every other site seems to get to write about celebrities so why shouldn’t I?
This landed on my door mat just yesterday, me and my fella were off out for a walk in the epic sunshine so I thought that I would just as well slip this on for some picces and get my review sorted!
First off, the packaging was absolutely first rate, it was in an awesome packing bag which looks like it’s been spray painted and then the tee itself came in something that looked like a crisp packet. Absolutely genius! In my package there was also a mini catalogue, some funky stickers and a temporary tattoo, have to say that is deffo a first as ‘extras’ from a tee company goes!
Upon viewing their website it’s clear to see this company is really ‘cool’, I see these appealing to young folks more than older ones, it’s also a company which isn’t afraid of colour in any way shape or form.
They have a massive selection of tees, broken down into a mixture of languages and subject matter including music, love, tree etc. I really love the design on the tee they sent me but I have to say that ‘Love in Ethiopian’ is my fave on the site. It has super bright colours and this open neck style of tee is super funky.
The way they photograph their items has a really urban fashion feel which I am sure appeals to their target audience. The tee I got sent was a design called ‘Happy Cassette’ I really like the predominately black and white design with the little Neon splash. The print is super high quality, but the tee itself is quite thin so I needed to wear a top underneath or the universe would of seen my bra. However I generally wear a vest top under my clothes anyway so this wasn’t a major issue.
Zamforia say that they are a globally conscious clothing company, this is very much reflected in the fact that they cater for various languages, I personally think this is an excellent way of opening up to a slice of the market that wouldn’t use the company normally. The claim to not to massive runs of their designs too, some if you buy it because it’s unique it’s likely that not many folks are going to be wearing the same the same tee as you globally.
They have also developed a charitable foundation called Project Zam which helps and encourages people to travel and experience various other cultures and countries.
I highly recommend swinging by http://www.zamlove.com/ and experiencing their store and work they do.

I don’t think it gets much cuter than that ‘Marilyn Monroecake’ design at Goodjoe this week, it almost made me break out the word ‘adorbs‘ again. Both shirts are $12 each during the pre-order phase this week, then up to $18.
We could all do a bit more for charity, it’s even better when you can do your bit whilst also receiving a massively amazing tee which with not only look great but can be a conversation stimulator and you can convince other folks to grab a tee and support charities too! I would imagine word [...]
We would like to introduce a new anti-human trafficking clothing line called Speak Against Injustice. Speak Against Injustice is unique in several ways, which they like to summarize as the “Speak-4″. There are four reasons why purchasing Fair Trade Certified human trafficking shirts from Speak Against Injustice is beneficial. By purchasing a shirt you are: [...]

I’m lucky enough that I live in a world where I get to choose what I eat most days, sure, I’m not eating lobster stuffed with tacos for breakfast, but I have never been in a situation where I’ve had to go hungry, and I probably take that for granted, so it’s crazy for me [...]
What’s the buzz about ‘Movember’ then? You can’t avoid it, it’s all over my twitter and FB and it’s all for a good cause. If you’re not aware of what it’s about, it’s a challenge for men to start off November clean shaven and then commit to growing a moustache through out the month. They [...]
