Cool Hunting
"Heaven and Hell" is a reversible limited edition t-shirt and print that's new from Los Angeles design and ad firm Meat and Potatoes. Created for a celebrity lounge at the 2006 Billboard Music Awards in December, the four remaining from the event will be auctioned to benefit Meals on Wheels today, 26 January 2007, at 4pm EST on Ebay. Each long sleeve tee features an image of a red skull and crossbones on one side and an white angel on the other, both made from a detailed reproduction of a Renaissance painting. The women's version (pictured) is screenprinted on a soft grey shirt with a collarbone-bearing scoop neck that adds even more rocker chic. Men's come in black for a more bold contrast and both, like all their tees, come with a matching screenprint of the artwork.
Search Ebay for “meat and potatoes heaven and hell shirt” or seller "bgirlladyt" to pull up the four auctions (one each of small in medium in men's and women's)which start at $100 and will last for seven days.

Handmade in the U.S. with organic cotton and benefiting Architecture for Humanity's Gulf Coast Project, the Alabama Builds tee is a win-win-win situation. An offshoot of the Alabama Project (the short-lived adventure in couture made from recycled materials by local seamstresses in Alabama) the shirt uses the reverse appliqué technique that the Project applied to basketball jerseys, dresses and shirts to much success. The...
Twenty-two years ago the year 1984 came and went and we were all supposed to breathe a collective sigh of relief. We weren't faced with a perpetual war with shifting adversaries; our own citizens were not being detained and held indefinitely without charge; dissenting voices were common in the mainstream media; and partisan debate was not branded as disloyalty to the nation. Arguably, in...
The latest from the Los-Angeles-based label I Heart Guts (covered over in Spear-land earlier this month) is "Don't Lose Your Lunch" (baby style pictured). Like the rest of the I Heart Guts line (the brainchild of a designer/former teacher with a penchant for Japanese pop art), this tee anthropomorphizes organs and pairs them with puns in both English and Japanese. The upshot is a...
