Kanye West Auction

To celebrate the launch of Karmaloop’s brand new auction site (KarmaSwap) Karmaloop has teamed up with superstar Kanye West to auction off signed memorabilia. Yes, they will be auctioning of a pair of limited edition Air Yeezys signed by Kanye. But that is not all they will also be auctioning off signed “Glow In the Dark” books, “Thank You” books and T-shirts. 100% of the proceeds raised will go to the Kanye West Foundation.

Disney Tips

Want to shop at the Disney store this holiday season? You can, just don't pay full price..

If you do shop online

, use the code SHIP89 to get free shipping when you spend $89. It expires on 12/17.

Speaking of seasons, I try to shop just after a season or a holiday as often as possible, when I shop the regular non-outlet Disney Store. Merchandise gets marked down pretty quickly, so I can get some good deals. In the case of my kids, I stock up on next year’s sizes.

Featured Designer of the Day

In May 2009, a website - www.Stoketshirts.co.uk, was launched to show the new styles on offer.

DIY Twilight Tees

Scores of fans donned "Twilight"-inspired T-shirts -- some homemade with phrases like "Take your shirt off, Jacob" or "Be my lion, Edward" scrawled with markers. There were fan buttons on jackets and caps. Key chains. Posters. Even "Twilight" panties were being circulated. The uninitiated had the option of purchasing merchandise inside: shirt, $20; tote bag, $18; poster, $8.

Junk to Art

On Nov. 6 in room 466 there was an array of art happening. The theme was altering old t-shirts. Many shirts that seemed useless were being turned into wearable pieces of art. This was just one of the many Junk to Art events happening at PJC.

“We thought we would have to say to bring only ‘clean’ trash, but some of the best pieces came from un-clean trash. It doesn’t have to always be ‘clean’ trash. We only ask that you not bring large items, like vacuums.”

If you would like to be a part of this showing, or get involved with Junk to Art in any way, contact Jennifer O’Leary, joleary@pjc.edu, 484-1434.

Eco Friendly Tees

It seems like the two arenas of environment and fashion are clashing more than ever these days.

When Paul Towle talks about his future plans for the Green Fashion Line, the T-shirt distribution company that he founded last year, he makes a brief reference to the tenets of a traditional business plan: turn a profit, expand the business, and so on. Then he gets to the part that he really cares about.

Towle said the most popular shirt so far has been the men’s fitted short-sleeve design. GFL also offers whole-sale purchasing.

Besides the environmental benefits, Towle also believes in having a positive effect on the community.

“Business should always be meeting a social need, that’s what I think,” he said.
