'talentless but connected' t-shirt
Permalink Closed

I need another graphic tee like I need a hole in the head (they are my weakness), but I work at a talent agency and I think this would just be too funny to wear to work on Fridays. I figure that when the boss wears a shirt of a cartoon monkey scratching and sniffing its butt that I can get away with this.



Here's the shirt on stylediary.net



However, I am not too sure about $88 (the msrp on the taavo website) on a t-shirt, no matter how funny/amusing/perfect. Revolve has different styles for $50ish. Thoughts? There are copies of this tee on ebay going for loads cheaper, but I don't know...

I say find a local t-shirt store and have it made yourself. We have loads of those around ATX and I'm sure LA is full of them, too. Can't be more than $30. If that's not an option, def. go for the cheapie ebay version, because $88 is waaaay too much for a tee! (Even though it is pretty damn funny!)

while i'm totally guilty of buying overpriced humor tees (i paid $50+ for a sophmore tee) i voted for the cheapie version, just b/c the best part of it is the slogan and that can easily be replicated.

Have you tried Neighborhoodies.com? They'll customize a shirt for you and that way you can pick the styling and colors.

Get the ebay version or make your own.  It'll be a lot more fun to wear b/c you created it.

Michaels sells iron on transfer paper that works with your printer. You could type-set something yourself. The only problem is you'd need to figure out how to reverse the text so that when you iron it it will come out right. I personally don't know how to do this, but a copy/print shop would be able to do it no prob. Alot of copy places make transfers to so you could just have them do it all, it shouldn't cost more than $10 for a transfer.
