Blink Kitty Love

UNDERAPPRECIATED

Well, you can't vote and get Mark Wahlberg an Oscar nomination (more on that later).  But rather than hit you up with a Shirt O'the Week, we're going to hit you up for votes for designs we REALLY want to wear that haven't gotten the appreciation we think they deserve.  Because who doesn't love dragons, robots and girls who kick ass.

 

Hic sunt dracones, a design by amarillo started at shirt.woot and is now up for voting at Goodjoe.  We love the way it...ok, we just love everything about its cool cragginess.  This is the country we would rule, given a choice of crowns.  Hic sunt us.

And now for the promised robot + girl awesomeness, Star Power,  now up at shirt.woot in the double take derby.  It's a collaboration between one of the best robot* artists (rglee129) frequenting the site and one of the best just the right amount of sexy, reminds us of our favorite comics artists (kaseyfleming).

So do us a favor and vote these designs up, if you've got an account at either site.  Thanks!

And now Wahlberg.  We've always liked him and we think he was the heart of The Fighter.  The three actors from The Fighter with Oscar nominations, well, there should have been four.  Wahlberg is the heart of the movie, with one of his better performances.  We appreciate movies and actors that are more physical than cerebral and Wahlberg has a quiet, solid presence that allows Bale and Leo to bounce their flashier performances into the Academy's stratosphere.  Amy Adams has never been anything but excellent so she and Wahlberg suit each other well.

*you know about us and robots, right?  You have seen our favorite TV show, right?

 

 

Enjoy your weekend!  

GETTING TO KNOW US: TK

 

 

HISTORY + HOLLYWOOD

We're still feeling like we need a step away from cute, so here's a very cool hoodie with historical intent from Declaration Clothing Company.  We've decided that a modern super heroic type would use this shout out to America's founding principles as the base layer of an outfit, topped by a kicky jacket and a navy watch cap w/ a red and white star/stripe combo -- then add cargo pants (pockets for cool crime fighting gadgets!!!) and kick ass made in America boots.  Inspired?  We are. 

 And with President's Day coming up, we direct to you to Declaration's blog, where you can catch Today in Revolutionary War History posts.  Here's George Washington's victory at Trenton.

 One of our favorite freedoms is the freedom to be goofy and this fun Michael Buble Hollywood video is just that.  We want a stunt budget.

KICK SOME...

Shirt o' The Week:  Be Formless, Shapeless* by Zerobriant at Design By Humans.  We've loved the flow and power of this design since we first saw it.  We like shirts that make us want to go out and do something kick ass.  As soon as this one arrives, it'll go to the top of that list. 

 

 

Speaking of kick ass:  Nadia G of Bitchin Kitchen has a quickie Valentine's Holiday special posted.  To quote our favorite TV cook and quipster:  "Serve with love or french fries whatever."  That's our kind of Valentine's sentiment.

Friday I'm in Love T-shirt update:  Received shirt from Threadless, lots of ooky loooking black spots in the print where it looks damaged and/or like it has a pox, the art image on the Threadless site did not look that distressed so we sent ours back, with sadness and a demand for the return of our monies or a better print.  And then we played the song even LOUDER.

 

And no, we don't care if Monday's blue.

FRIDAY: ARE WE THERE YET?

We're* in love.  We're always in love on Friday because we always have The Cure in our heads telling us so.  And soon, we'll have a t-shirt telling the world.

This week's Shirt o' The Week can be found at Threadless, which tempted us further by putting it on sale for $14 since Valentine's Day is near (it's a love shirt).  They are also offering (we're not sure for how long) 20% off if you buy from a mobile device.

Spent last weekend keeping up with one of our favorite winter events, ESPN's The X-Games.  Some excellent snowboarding (Note: we don't care about snowmobiling, how about some more women's events, Tinker is frowning in your direction, ESPN.)  So our Superstar crush of the week shout out (that's what we're calling it this week anyway) goes to Kelly Clark, for the first ever frontside 1080 in the women's superpipe.  Golden.

 

 

*Any use of the word "we" with the phrase "in love" does not include TK (he prefers the Thursday options), who is trying to be clever for the Bitchin Kitchen's anti Valentine challenge.

Roses are red, violets are blue

We're animated, why aren't you...

 

Cheers!

 

Breaking news (insisted on by Tammy and because we won't collectively be in mood:  valentine again for two years or so), tonight's shirt.woot is worth a shout out for traditionalists (and because we love the usually more cynical but always worth the view art of BootsBoots):
