Sadly, this is not available on a T-Shirt. I was looking through the merchandise offered on the official American Horror Story website and didn’t see anything that I personally would wear.
So I did something about it.
FX? Are you listening? Hire me. I’ll hook you up with designs every female fan you have would wear.
Victoria’s Secret Pink:
ADVERTISING:
A long time ago Victoria’s Secret introduced their “Pink” line which is aimed at college-aged girls. The idea (I would assume) from their ads is that it’s supposed to by hypersexualized and slutty-looking for wild romps on the beach which also happens to be located inside your New Jersey dorm room or something. You know, like the last time you found a whale in your closet.
Damn, that whale. He’s probably the guy who stole my booze.
But I digress. I think this is what Victoria’s Secret would like to think happens when people buy and wear their clothing.
THE REAL WORLD
Unfortunately for Victoria, her Secret, or otherwise, this is what really happens.
I guess that’s what they deserve for trying to fetishize a wardrobe based on clothing that is much-loved by lazy people. I’m a firm believer that sweatpants belong in the gym, when sleeping, and the rare emergency. Why? Because I can put jeans on in the same time it takes to put on sweatpants. It’s not rocket science. I realize that our educational quality is declining in the USA, but come on put on some pants and get a shower.
Banana Republic:
ADVERTISING:
Banana Republic used to actually be a travel/outdoors store, hence the name “Banana Republic” and not something like “Suit Man Guy Skyscraper”, or “Yachtpants McSlingenbottoms”.
Banana Republic was purchased by another company and turned into the business casual store we know today. It’s a great store. If you buy their clothing this is what they think happens:
THE REAL WORLD
This is what really happens:
Ed Hardy:
ADVERTISING:
Ed Hardy is actually just a tattoo artist from California who oversees a tattoo shop and publishes books. He licensed his art to a company and eventually Christian Audiger bought the rights. This guy is why you all know who he is.
This is what they like to think happens when people buy their clothing:
No wait. That is actually what happens. Nevermind.
This Summer will mark the first-ever Overnight-In-The-Woods Horror Camping Experience from the crew at Nightmare: NYC. Nightmare is responsible for Nightmare: Killers last year and will be doing Killers 2 this coming Halloween season. These guys always think out of the box and play with narrative which is precisely why I like them.
The summer camping experience is not a haunted house but an immersive experience. It takes place in Lexington, NY which is approximately 2.5 hours Outside of NYC
Camp Nightmare will run for 17 hours, 5pm – 10 am on two different nights: July 12th through 13th, and July 13th through the morning of the 14th.
“The intrepid campers staying at CAMP NIGHTMARE will experience a non-stop adrenaline rush from dusk till dawn, with only a brief reprieve for few hours of sleep. The 80 acres of land in Upstate New York contains heavy woods, open fields, trails, creeks, marshes, and about the creepiest most decrepit cabin in the woods you’ll ever see! The event starts at 5 pm and ends at 10 am the next day. Campers will be provided tents and two meals (dinner and breakfast, as well as s’mores for dessert!) There is limited space available each evening to make the event as intimate as possible.
CAMP NIGHTMARE is a battle for survival (to stay in the game). Each camper will begin with a score that throughout the evening will be deducted incrementally by the failure to complete certain tasks and conquer certain horrors. Instead of “winning” with the highest score, you try to survive and be the last remaining camper “alive” with any score remaining in your lifeline. Tasks ranging from setting up camp, winning a terrifying scavenger hunt, reaching hidden destinations while being chased, and enduring a number of trials that will test your limits of repulsion will all “kill-off” campers throughout the night to leave one person standing come morning. The lone survivor will win a special prize pack for their heroic effort.
Tickets for CAMP NIGHTMARE are $300 for a two-person tent and $500 for a 4-person tent and are only available in advance. Tickets will go on sale to the public ONLY IF the private reservations have not sold the tickets out before then on April 26th. They must be purchased by June 28th to be included in the event.
There is no electricity and cell phone reception is very limited.”

I’m kind of loving the new Paranormal Collection commercial from Illamasqua. It’s about time someone did something creative again.
I’ve never tried this brand. I have allergies to something in some types of makeup (usually mascara) and I also just lost my job so I haven’t been checking into new makeup lately. Has anyone out there tried it? Is it any good?
Notice that I said making things come together because nothing comes together on it’s own unless you kick it a few times.
I recently learned how to make handmade cards with paper punches and stamps you can get at the craft store. I think what has always set me apart from every other artist is my attention to detail and the fact that I tend to go above and beyond. I’m always learning things, too. Most recently these cards are an example of another way that I figured I’d be able to reach out to clients and sponsors of my convention with a “Thank You”.
It’s kind of awesome because I make them to order and do them differently. This way there is little risk of someone getting the same card twice like if I had ordered some logo cards to be printed. Some cards have bits of my art in them, others are simple like this one which will be sent to Harknell’s Mom for Mother’s Day.
I had been not very good at sending cards in the past. My family never sent them. I never really was exposed to them. Now that most people send cards digitally I figured it was a great time to learn how to do them physically. That way people know that I mean it.
I’m getting Intervention Angry Owl stamps made and return address stamps made, too. It ends up being more personal and also more cost effective in the long run.
