A BLOG ABOUT A BLOG ABOUT AN EMAIL ABOUT A T-SHIRT
Juggernaut t-shirt blog
Color Overload recently did a nice little write up about us. They described us using words like "Fun", "Refreshing", "Funny without being cheesy", and "A non-stop no holds barred edge of you seat adrenaline fueled thrill ride through the pits of hell"...Or maybe it was just the first three. Whatever, I can't remember. Either way, I've been a fan of Color Overload for a long time, and to be featured on it is quite the honour. So Darren, thank you very much!
When we're If we ever end up in jail together, I'd totally protect you in the shower.

OH NO THEY DI-INT!
Here's a little teaser from one of the MANY new apparel items dropping this week. The editions of these badboys are quite small, so I'd be quick with these if you want to grab one before they sell out. Check back soon!

ULTRA KILL BOT
Ken has a clone. Not someone that just looks like Ken. I'm talking about an exact replica. Someone so strikingly similar to Ken, that Ken himself has a hard time distinguishing which one he is. Is this clone a long lost twin? Perhaps. A die hard actor that "plays" Ken at parties and social gatherings to try and hook up with babes? That's a little more likely. Or is it in fact Ken himself, but from a different moment in time, lost, trying to find his way back to his own world, hoping that each jump he takes will be his last? Yeah, probably. Whatever the case may be, we met this 2nd Ken (Or "Daniel" as he preferred to be called for some reason.) and his BFF Sabrina on Saturday and had a pretty good time talking and taking funny pictures with them.
As it turns out, these two are the brains behind the incredibly mean, but even more incredibly funny blog
Ultra Kill Bot. They became the future Godparents to our unborn children by posting a very flattering blog about our presence at the Toronto Clothing Show this year.
While their blog has some positive posts once in a while, it mainly consists of calling bullshit on things, then brutally ripping it apart and blasting it over the Internet without holding back whatsoever. Whether it be music, fashion, art, etc. They write what we were all thinking, but were too polite to say, and put it in it's rightful place. (And holy shit is it ever funny.) Thank you society for being so lame, so that these two are able to be so angry.

THE TORONTO CLOTHING SHOW IS DEAD. PAUSE KILLED IT. (AGAIN)
If you didn't already know, this past weekend we had a booth at the spring Toronto Clothing Show, and let me tell you, it was the best one yet. The theme for our booth this year was "children's Birthday party in the backyard" Not because it was any one's Birthday of course, but we figured if we took some fake grass, noise makers, presents, a clothesline, a hand painted 18' background mural, party hats, balloons, a custom made speechbubble cake (Thanks to Mel and her sister), streamers, a made from scratch picket fence (Thanks to D and Aaron), a magician, and more candy than 10 Halloweens put together, we'd end up with a disgusting amount of awesomeness.
In addition to all the fun we had at our own booth, we also made a ton of new friends at other booths. For example, if you were alive 10 years ago, there's a pretty good chance your pants were made by
Modrobes. Well guess what. They're back, and they're PISSED! (Okay, not really, but they are back.) In exchange for candy owner/creator/super nice guy Steve hooked us up with a ton of good advice on running your own brand. Modrobes sold over 2 million pants in under 3 years, and getting to pick Steve's brain all about it was fantastic. Also, without giving too much away, a collaborative effort involving Canada geese is in the works. Seriously.(Pause x Modrobes? Ha!)
Our good friends Rose and Stephanie of
Crywolf had our backs the entire show. Even going so far as setting up our booth for us in the morning when we were late...twice. I swear to God we're going to treat you two to Cora's or die trying.
Newcomers
Creative Zing impressed us all with their clean designs and large variety of products having only started up a couple months ago. Something tells me we'll be seeing more of them...dun dun duuuun! (That's called foreshadowing)
Thank you to
Love, Poetry for all the vegan cookies, watermelon, not-so-subtle lewd comments, and cleaning my shirt after I spilled coffee all over it. You are welcome at our booth anytime.
And like always
Playdead Cult creator/owner Stu was there to give us shit about not having our silk screening press set up. He's kind of like our Dad as far as having a brand goes, but he's funny and let's us keep our bedroom door closed when we have girls over. So we like him.
Most of all, thank you to Mel Smith for her relentless hard work, beatings, and verbal abuse to help us get ready for the show. Although I'm sure it's scarring us on some serious level that will come back to haunt us later, we appreciate it none the less.
See you all at the fall show. Party at our booth!
