Apparently I have had no web presence up until now so I thought I'd post one of these blogs that all the crazy kids are raving about these days. It's hard to concentrate because my two year old feline is mewing her head off behind me, making sure that I'm aware that I haven't served breakfast yet. Oh dear.

I wanted to talk about my real life Threadless experiences, because now I have TWO of them and I thought that was a tad more impressive than one. I work at a clothing store - a pretty groovy one, too - and both of the Threadless tees have come through on the backs of male customers (c'mon ladies!! Show your support!!).

Anyhoo, the first one I'm still trying to hunt down on the site, just so I can see what it looks like. All I can remember is it was a light brownish/khaki colour, and it was a car driving along like a dirt path, and there were trees... and.. stuff.. I was still new to Threadless, and something about it just struck me as a Threadless tee, so I've blurted out to him, "Did you buy that shirt online?"

He's a bit caught off guard, but tells me yes. So I blurt out, "Was it Threadless dot com?" After he smiles and tells me yes again I feel less like an idiot and we have a bit of a chat and he goes along his merry way with a bag full of less-cool-than-his-threadless-shirt shirts. Does anyone know which shirt that was?

My next Threadless-wearing customer came only last week. I received my first order from threadless a few months ago and, as I'd been wearing "Technology Ruins Nature" and "Partially Hungry Skies" around a far bit and never had anyone make my day by recognising it as a Threadless tee, I figured it was my duty to make sure people are aware of how damn cool these shirts are.

This guy was shopping with his friend. Unfortunately for his friend, he wasn't wearing a Threadless shirt and thus didn't get much of my attention. I saved it all for his friend and as soon as there was a lull in conversation I managed to say something like "that's a pretty mad shirt!" or something to that extent and "Threadless, right?". So anyhoo he seemed pretty stoked that someone had recognised "Sea Saw II" and we spent the next few minutes chatting animatedly about the shirts that we liked or had missed out on.

"Dark Side of the Garden" was one missed out by him, and I mentioned that I'd got it for my step-father "Aw, what! That'll never get reprinted!" so maybe I'll be lucky enough to see him when I'm strutting around in the Girly XL that I just picked up for $10 in the sale...
