There, I said it: post #1

I am stealing this idea from Banzai Chronicles. He does a post every once in a while titled "There, I said it" which I find hilarious.

Here it goes:

Expressionless big eyed little girl paintings, unicorns, birds in cages, owls and mushrooms; please, for the love people it's gotta stop.

There, I said it.

Ah -I thought you meant that Lee said this and I couldn't believe I had missed such a glorious nugget (that's right - nugget).

Oh, Susan. Susan, I could add ten more things to this horrible list you've started.

It has to end sometime, right?

Don't get me started on graphic t's.

Will it ever end?

Let's see...what else?

Deer
squirrels
gnomes

Add to the list. I know I'm missing some biggies.

Paintings of people wearing hoodies with deer antlers.

Robots - though thankfully, this craze seems to be waning.

Bicycles.

And you know what? I hate skulls. I hate when people wear something with skulls on it and then think they're some sort of renegade when they're really just a sad, aging housewife. (I have friends who wear skulls. I will allow them exemption from my wrath).

There, I said it.

...hoodies with antlers. hilarious.

So, I was thinking maybe an illustration is in order that contains the following:

A big eyed forlorn girl wearing an antler hoodie emblazoned with skulls with a squirrel on one shoulder and a gnome on the other. In the background could be various robots riding deer and unicorns.

what else?

...sitting on a mushroom.

But wait. I take it back. The skulls and robots really are in their own category. The skulls go along with handguns, brass knuckles and graffiti-type lettering.

All worn, of course, by people who have never left the suburbs.

And actually, maybe robots have no category. Oh, I may be starting to overthink this.

Robots can go with the zombies everyone is always talking about. And ninjas. OMG.

I just did an etsy search on t-shirts. I stopped counting bicycles after I got to thirty.

And maybe we can almost be done with Ed Hardy crap and those button down shirts men wear that have the big cross and curly stuff on the back/one shoulder/side.

Fake vintage t-shirts of things that have never been cool but suddenly seem to be (Think: Bob Ross).

Hello Kitty, et al.
