Just got the very last of my size.

Threadless, you sure know how to rack up my impulse purchases.
about E.T.A.
I never really looked twice at this design until just now... and its extra design features would've hooked me! I was *just* at Threadless and definitely would've at least asked to see how it looks/feels in person. (And there's rarely a "next time" with Threadless designs! Ahhh!)

But props to the designer.
the moth flutters maniacally. mindless pursuit of its desire. hypnotic light. unlimited wants. never fulfilled.

This shirt's text was my AIM profile for the longest time (...has it really been more than three years since the design won?)... eventually replaced with "Damn Scientists," which I now own, my senior year of high school. (omg iwassohipster*beforeiknewwhathipsterwas)

I don't know why I never bought the wonderful shirts I found here (much less registered as a member; think of the community cred alone!). But here's this year's Christmas dream come true:

I randomly posted a picture of the "fluttering" design on Facebook last week, and immediately a first-year acquaintance replied:

"HOLYSHIT.

I have this shirt in a boy's small.
When you come here, it's yours."

(I took this semester off, and I don't know his class yet.)

...methinks this is the beginning of a long (and possibly sexual) (...if only out of gratitude) friendship.



*On another note, it's so lovely flipping back through some of the earliest designs. Especially the sort (like this one) that got printed sans selling points (y'know, multiple elements of submission up for voting) (more than one picture).

I wish there were a book of the early (or the most popular) (or the retired) (or the _____) Threadless designs... not photographs, just the designs themselves.

Is such a thing in the works, Threadless? (Such a thing should be.)


[aaaand obligatory probably-been-asked-before question: How long has it been since its last(/only?) re-print?)
I ordered a girly Happy Harvest about a week ago.

The order's still waiting to be processed.
The shirt's been sold out in that size (colour) (mostly it's the colour that sold me on it).

Question of my Christmas:
Do I still get my shirt?!?!

All about me

my mind is… (XXV)
my mind is
a big hunk of irrevocable nothing which touch and taste and smell
and hearing and sight keep hitting and chipping with sharp fatal
tools
in an agony of sensual chisels i perform squirms of chrome and ex
-ecute strides of cobalt
nevertheless i
feel that i cleverly am being altered that i slightly am becoming
something a little different, in fact
myself
Hereupon helpless i utter lilac shrieks and scarlet bellowings.

I once saw a boy with a "Flowers in the Attic" tattoo at UC Davis. I scrambled to take a secret photograph and spent the next hour attempting to flirt from afar.

I now keep my urge to own this shirt a dark, dark secret, along with the fact that I own a Polaroid camera. And a typewriter. And some Bukowski first-editions.

...oh, who am I kidding. Threadless caters to a piece of every creed and (sub)culture. I happen to be composed of most of these pieces, in pretty parallel proportions at that. (But I'll still never buy a type tee.)



Also, I was born (...nude) about twenty minutes from the Threadless Headquarters, which I think is almost as cool as being conceived on Halloween by crossdressed parents. (Edit: Now that I've been to their factory, it's even cooler.)
