Tees with Memories

I was very lucky a few weeks ago to find a Born in the USA t-shirt, it was totally unexpected as I was actually looking through some cheap, I mean economically sensible, shirts for hubby when I spotted it.   Apparently my eyes lit up so hubby had to say those words we all love to hear - "Buy it!"

I used to love Bruce Springsteen's Born in the USA album and would play it constantly as a teen.   I was very considerate towards my family by the way - I always made sure that the record player (yes, the album was on vinyl) was turned up loud so that they could all enjoy the Boss belting out his songs!

Buying the t-shirt brought back lots of memories and isn't it great that a simple piece of clothing could do that?   That is the beauty of t-shirts, you can wear them in comfort while reliving past memories.   March 21st is National Memory Day so why don't you celebrate the day by wearing a tee that brings back memories for you?

My hubby was looking for Bluto t-shirts a couple of months ago (long story and I don't really understand it all) to take on a boys week away with him.   This led him to 'discover' one of my webpages - 80s Movie Tees - after he was impressed at actually finding something by his wife from his work computer (obviously this must've been during his lunch break!) he proceeded to have a great trip down memory lane!

Last October my dad spent way too much time in hospital and on one of the days I wore a Spandau Ballet t-shirt from their Reformation Tour.   As I walked into the kitchenette area of the ward to get dad some ice one of the aides came up to me and whispered 'you know you're showing your age don't you', how rude was my first thought, until I realized that he was still talking - 'so did you see them on tour?'.    We then had a great discussion about Spandau Ballet and I thought yes I am showing my age, but I really don't care!

Why am I talking about showing my age?   Well March 22nd is National As Young As You Feel Day!   Having Memory Day followed by As Young As You Feel Day does seem a little ironic to me, but they are great excuses for wearing 80s tees at the beginning of the week, now to work on my excuse for the rest of the year!

  3. LOL - I am wearing my giant squid shirt and it is March 21 here. So, is it a memory of when I got to meet another really cool giant squid? But on a much more important note - next time your eyes light up, be sure you are looking at a cool car, a boat or a cruise around the world package if hubby is going to say buy it.

Shaun of the Dead T-Shirts

I must admit I'm not really a huge fan of Zombie movies, but I absolutely loved Shaun of the Dead.   I found it hilarious when he left his house and walked to the corner shop for a drink totally missing the destruction and zombie in the street and the bloody handprint on the fridge in the shop.   He really was just thinking about himself and I was laughing and hooked into the movie from then on. There are some great Shaun of the Dead shirts available and I've decided to compile some here for you - If you haven't seen Shaun of the Dead then you really want to watch it because it's funny and here's Shaun's big plan - Buy This Allposters.com It all sounds so simple really doesn't it?    Of course it isn't and the team of  Simon Pegg and Nick Frost make you laugh throughout the film - I must admit I am a little biased as I think the duo work well together and I enjoy their movies. Back to Shaun of the Dead shirts, it's really hard to choose ...

Five Fun T-Shirts for Women

 If you're looking for some fun t-shirts for women then look no further than here.  We have found five fun, sassy (and comfy) t-shirts that she'll love. These t-shirts can all be found on Zazzle, which means that when you purchase one an independent designer somewhere is probably doing a little 'happy dance'. Let's look at them all individually and see which one you prefer, personally, I think I might need all five! Purchase here! I definitely love this one, in fact I know a few other ladies who would love to wear it too. You can purchase it in other colours, but I think the grey looks good with the black, nothing to deter from the funny slogan. If you aren't impressed with this one, don't worry we have four more to look at and the next one is earmarked for a certain hip hop loving friend of mine I'm sure. Taking the line from the biological drama film depicting the rise and fall of the hip hop group N.W.A and it's members Easy-E, Ice Cube, Dr Dre, M...
