TOP TEN HALLOWEEN 'STUMES
'
Stumes is a new thing I'm saying now. Feel free to use it.
10. Antlers - no animal attached. People will be trying to figure out which animal with antlers you are ALL
freakin' night. But you'll just be antlers. It's incredibly clever.
9. Kitty Clock - This one's
SUUUPER simple. You dress as a cat and look from left to right all night. If you can get a mechanical tail that wags in time with your shifty eyes I say DO IT.
8. Johnny Knoxville - If anyone recognizes you, you can write to Johnny and say 'Hey buddy! Don't worry, you've
stiiiiilll got it!'
Someone's gotta stroke that poor guy's ego.
7. a Blog - go as this one! We love you! All you need is a sandwich board and a passion for the
interwebs. Did I just paint a good enough mind picture with my imagination brush? E-mail me and I'll send you a diagram.
6. Mel Smith - You'll never have amazing hair like that, but you can damn well try.
5. Joe
Biden - just recycle a George Bush costume but wear a whiter wig and give everyone a thumbs up. Totally do-able. I mean that in both the way that it's easily done and also that it's sexy.
4. Lady Gaga - just kidding.
3. T-Pain - put an
Aero bar wrapper on your top teeth. DONE!
2. Ryan Reynolds in
Buried - I don't know why. I like Ryan Reynolds and that's a movie he just did.
And number one?
Numero Uno?
El Supremo?
Jimmy
friggen McMillan. Because he's a karate expert and he wants to make sure you get breakfast-lunch-n-dinner.

TORSO!
A little while back I was telling you guys about an upcoming t-shirt art book called "Torso", that featured a bunch of our designs. Well, our copy arrived at our doorstep, and let me tell you, it looks incredible. Seeing our designs right beside the artists and brands we look up to the most is such an honour. If you love t-shirts (and if you're reading this blog, I'm going to assume you do) then this book is definitely worth picking up. Actually, even if you don't like t-shirts, the book is still awesome.
Can you find the Pause shirts?:
Thank-you to Evan Hernder for the great looking photos!

BRAND NEW OWL TANK NOW AVAILABLE!
This badboy is hand printed onto American Apparel Tri-Blend Coffee tank tops using a blend of water based, discharge, and plastisol inks. What are these inks all about you might ask? (What are you, a friggin' cop?!) Well, this secret recipe of ink blends allows the image to feel soft to the touch, and flow easily with shirt, while still keeping the colours vivid. Sweet huh? No more chunky prints for you!
The quality on these couldn't have come out any better. And get this: we're offering them up for $20 Canadian. What is that? Like...30 cents American? 10 Pence? A Peso? Probably. At that price you could stockpile these. Get one for every day of the week! Winter's coming, get a whole case and put them in the trunk of your car to improve traction on icy roads! Get a hundred cases and fill up your money tank top tower and go swimming in it! Not a bad idea.
Unfortunately for your tank top tower, these are a limited edition run. Therefore, we won't be making enough to fill a tower. (Soweeee.) But it does vastly improve your chances of not having the same piece of apparel as everyone else. And that's pretty awesome too.

NEW APPAREL DROPPING THIS WEEK!
Oh that? That's just our new mannequin. We had it made up to look like our blog writer Mel. It's pretty close to looking like the real thing, except Mel's head is a lot bigger in real life. (It would have cost too much to have it made like that.) We've been using it as a rug/car shammy/surf board/garlic press around the office. And we figured "Hey, why not give it a go for our newest piece of apparel?" (Which will be available at a secret time sometime this week! OoooOooo!)
Needless to say, it worked flawlessly. It was like having the real Mel around, minus the noise and the smell.
Check back later this week to see the rest of the set AND our newest design!
