This looks like an awesome model kit.

I love this painting. Such a sense of longing.

I left the trademark that says “for personal purposes only,” because I imagine all of us have ultra-cute kitten purposes.

On the other hand, I see no earthly purpose for this:

So…extra crotch room for Chuck Norris style kicks was a selling point?

Opposuits: The Ultimate Geek Suits

Posted in clothing, comics, fashion, geek, video games with tags , , , , on April 23, 2016 by shewalkssoftly

Looking for the geekiest suits ever? Look no further than Opposuits.

os_033_badaboom_website-001

They make a number of suits for the rebels and geeks of the world who want to look sharp with some fancy threads.

Some suits are unpatterened, unconventional colors (every bright color of the rainbow, actually), but I think the Pac Man is my favorite:

While there is no mention of the material, these ensembles are available for a shockingly affordable (for a suit) $100.

Don’t miss the Halloween and Christmas collections too!

The Best Worst (and Worst Worst) Sweatshirt

Posted in absurd, cats, clothing, humor, wish list with tags , , , , on February 29, 2016 by shewalkssoftly

We’ve covered The Best Worst Shirt Ever (it really delivers in person). But are you ready for The Best Worst SWEATshirt ever?

BEHOLD! The ZLYC Women’s Dazzle Geometric Cat Print Sweatshirt:

I rarely wear bright clothing, but I might make an exception for this, if I take a sufficient dose of Dramamine first. The reviews are in:

And then there’s this sweatshirt, for which I still can’t figure out the target demographic.

But it sure does complement one’s neck tattoo.

So lifelike!

Can I Live?

Posted in clothing, humor, wish list with tags , , on November 29, 2015 by shewalkssoftly

Although deceptively simple, this is actually a brilliant shirt with a range of interpretations as vast as the imagination itself.

il_570xN.838501539_neog

Is it a sarcastic quip you utter when a stranger is crowding you on the subway? A sincere supplication? I must confess, the impish little trickster in me who delights in somewhat inappropriate humor wants to wear this to my next medical treatment (as I’ve found myself asking this question in earnest many times). The possibilities are endless!

Inbread people…

This is an excellent shop concept because it enables you to shoot the people who disturb your reading without making extra store stops.

“BURST WITH THE TERROR OF A BREAKUP!” You better believe I’ll be turning this into a sympathy greeting card if my friends ever need it…but I hope they don’t.

Time to bundle up for winter! I’m always freezing. I don’t know how I’ve lived without a knit Facehugger in the winter.

Halloween Countdown: Chills! Horror! Suspense!

Posted in clothing, halloween, horror with tags , , on October 23, 2015 by shewalkssoftly

Vintage spookshow posters are fantastic (I have a large collection of them in my image files; I wish I could post them all). This shirt really appeals to me because it’s not only a throwback to the golden era of spookshows…it gets to the point. The hell with subtlety.

chills-horror-suspense-shirt

Even better? It’s hand screen printed for only $12! Unfortunately, being the elfin creature that I am, an adult “small” T-shirt (the smallest they make) nearly fits me like a dress…perhaps I will have to create my own.

Chills! Horror! Suspense!

WHY don’t more buses look like this? It’s such a missed opportunity NOT to paint giant teeth on all of them.

I’m sure this valid excuse resulted in instant exoneration:

GO SPORTS!

Posted in clothing, humor, wish list with tags , , on February 1, 2015 by shewalkssoftly

Since today is “Superbowl Day” (as I call it), I feel it’s appropriate to showcase this genius T-shirt. This is what I hear in my head, and have probably blurted out loud a few times, when fans are watching in my presence:

s1

Don’t get me wrong. I can be entertained by athletic events; I even know all the rules of tennis and most of hockey. But I believe I will fully comprehend the world’s collected works on theoretical physics before I “get” football.

Do you get football? I’m impressed.

s2

A close second favorite in Woot’s athletic section: Always Picked Last (there should be an ALWAYS PICKED FIRST (in spelling bees) shirt).
s3

Enjoy the Superbowl, if you’re watching!

GO SPORTS!

Thank you, Brian, for sharing this!

Coline Design: Text Tights

Posted in clothing, fashion, geek, wish list with tags , , , on January 15, 2015 by shewalkssoftly

I definitely want to get my hands on some Text Printed Tights.

il_fullxfull.697347648_rm1q

Coline Design makes a variety of colorful tights with famous literary quotes (from the likes of William Shakespeare, Emily Dickinson, Lewis Caroll). OR, and I love this option, you can order custom text.

il_fullxfull.679163817_ahyn

You will also find a number of different fonts and styles. I’m such a sentimental fool; I’d probably love to get a pair with memorable words from a loved one.

What quote would you emblazon on your legwear?
