We’re having a major “end of summer”/ “back to school” / “economic bailout”

Take a look. Sizes are limited. http://www.thequietlife.com2. GOOD CAUSE CHARITY T-SHIRT - NEW DESIGN!
A new “Good Cause” charity t-shirt is now available in our online web store.
This season we decided to dedicate our best-selling Fall 08 design - “Sphinx”-
to the cause. http://www.thequietlife.com/ql_store2.htm“Good Cause” is a continuing program of The Quiet Life’s,
where 100% of our profits from the sales of “Good Cause” shirts will
be donated to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation ( http://www.cff.org ).
So it’s a win-win. You get a good design and at the same time help
generate a donation for the CF Foundation. Last season we were able
to donate $6,800 to the foundation - thanks to your support.Keep an eye out for our entire Fall/Holiday 08 line coming soon…

I’m really starting to get into Karmaloop’s Daily Loop, the short news show which covers items from the world of streetwear, new stuff they’re selling, technology and regular stories from the news too, basically stuff I’m interested in. I don’t plan on posting it every day, but I liked yesterday’s clip, so here it is, that and any post I write which has “fake Sarah Palin nudes” in the title is blatantly going to be pageview-grabbing-gold!
Video is NSFW for the aforementioned boobies (nothing too graphic though) and some fairly salty language, but you don’t watch videos at work anyway, right?
Since my love of Japan extends to food, robots, and massive buildings, and not to some of the most famous women in the Japanese adult industry (that I’m going to admit publicly, at least), I don’t recognise the names of any of these AV Idols, but just for accuracy, the ladies involved are: Akiho Yoshizawa, Arisa Kuroki, Honoka, Yuma Asami, and Rio (as I would assume you’ve guessed, some of those links are fairly NSFW). I can’t decide whether its bizarre or brilliant that the women chosen for this campaign work in an industry which is notorious for sexually transmitted diseases, but either way I’m happy that there are naked women on t-shirts and that the proceeds will be going to a good cause.
Apparently the tees are on sale here, but since the site is in Japanese I struggled with it and eventually gave up looking for them. Story and pictures via Wrongwroks & Freshness Mag




Costiness=$50 Tee Link

Rock bands (mostly pop-punk/emo) donate a t-shirt design to Shirts For A Cure, who then sell the tee and give the proceeds to charity. The tees are a very reasonable $12 a piece and I *think* that all $12 goes to charity. The range of bands is pretty impressive too, here’s a little selection from the range of more than 150:
Alkaline Trio
Blink 182
Fall Out Boy
My Chemical Romance
Midtown
Plain White T’s
hellogoodbye
Those were the ones I thought were pretty notable (Midtown aren’t really that big, but I love them), so clearly this project isn’t just little bands no ones heard of, they’re bands that have large followings, so hopefully they’re raising a boatload of cash for charity.

Luckily, the folks over at Brute Labs haven’t forgotten about the Burmese plight and want to do something to help. 100% of the proceeds from this t-shirt will be given to IDE who are hopefully being a lot more successful than some other organisations at getting their aid distributed in the country.
Rumplo have an interview with the designer, Rebecca Shostak, who explains what its all about.

Luckily, t-shirts are here to save the day again. Don’t Panic (who’re usually more accustomed to printing posters), in conjunction with the League Against Cruel Sports, are running a design competition to find a great t-shirt design for their ‘Balls to Bullfighting’ design. There is no prize for this competition other than having your name and skills associated with what I deem to be a good cause, and also raising money for the cause (all the profits from the tee go to the League Against Cruel Sports), which would probably be prize enough for most of you.
The competition is open from now until July 15th, after which time the top 20 designs will be put on the Don’t Panic site and then judged by a panel.
Check out the current entries and get a more detailed design brief and explanation here.
