Celebrities Wear Random T-Shirts - Mischa Barton - “Let’s Go Bite Some Butts” T-Shirt
People definitely notice when celebrities wear t-shirts with slogans. If you are a t-shirt company getting a celebrity to wear your t-shirt would really put your company on the map. But sometimes celebrities just wear really random t-shirts. Mischa Barton was recently spotted wearing a random t-shirt with an image of a dog wearing a hat that says “Hawk Hounds” with the phrase “Let’s go bite some butts” below. I am not sure if that is a dog catcher company t-shirt or just a random joke t-shirt but it is kind of funny.

Get Dressed and Save the Earth
Earth Day is a very important day, especially these days. The Earth is in trouble, and a lot of people are putting in a lot of time and effort to give something back. For some this means changing their habits by recycling or eating organic foods or using less electricity. For others it means volunteering outdoors, planting a tree each year, or writing poetry in reflection of the beauty of the Earth. Some who can afford it donate money to organizations trying to take care of the Earth.
But other people—too many people, probably—let Earth Day slip by without thinking about it at all. They might see a headline here or there that reminds them of the special day. But they are too busy or stressed out or distracted with other daily worries to take time out to help make the Earth a safe, healthy place for the coming generations. It takes a lot of effort to stop and decide to change your habits, or even to take a day to reflect and commit something small to a cause like saving the Earth.
Are you wondering how you can participate in Earth Day? Do you want to call people’s attention to the importance of the day but aren’t sure how to do it? Well, how about making a special Earth Day t-shirt? You could make one just for yourself, to wear while you volunteer or go to work or school. On the front you could have an image that reminds you of the beauty of the Earth—of what you are trying to save. On the back you could have some text that will help people think about the Earth and tell them how they can figure out a way to help. Perhaps you could provide a link or a phone number to nearby volunteer opportunities, or information sites where people can go to find out what is happening to the Earth, and to learn how their lifestyles can help or hurt it.
You could also always make t-shirts for a lot of people to wear. You could make t-shirts for your whole class or for your office. If people receive a free t-shirt designed by their friend in honor of Earth Day, they are not likely to forget what day it is. Then they will have the t-shirt and the information you put on it to keep, and they can perhaps start an Earth Day tradition of their own with their families or roommates.
Making Earth Day t-shirts is a way to spread knowledge about Earth Day and its issues without making people feel guilty or pressured. It’s more of a way to create more enthusiasm for the day and for every other day in which helping the Earth is an important part of life. If the message on your t-shirts is a positive one, you can help get people excited, which will make them more likely to go off on their own next time and contribute. Good luck, and happy Earth Day!
Get Engaged and Show the World with a T-Shirt
Being engaged is often one of the happiest times in a person’s life. You have found some one that you dearly love, someone that complements you better than any one else in the world. And to top it all off, that person feels the same way about you. You decide that you have reached the point in your relationship when it’s only natural that you should head to the chapel. Once you’ve picked the date, a whirlwind of events ensues.
One of the things that characterizes the engagement period quite a bit is the process of planning the wedding. In fact, most people equate wedding planning and engagement in their minds. This is probably due to the fact that the moment the bride slips that ring on her finger, she begins imagining her perfect day. The perfect church or garden to host the big event is usually first on the menu. Choosing a design for the cake and a great baker to do the job follows shortly thereafter. Deciding what colors and flowers she likes can be a perplexing ordeal. Oh, and let’s not forget the dress. The search for the perfect dress is no small task in the wedding planning process.
With all of this decision making and logistical planning, the bride is likely to get a little drained and overwhelmed before too long. Creating her dream wedding is exciting. For many brides, however, planning a wedding can be a full time job! You don’t often see the groom fretting over his dream tux. Finding the perfect tux is usually a one stop shopping experience for the groom and his wedding party. Grooms that aren’t feeling the heat during their upcoming nuptials due to all the planning need to show their brides-to-be how much they appreciate all their hard work.
If you’re approaching your wedding day, you’ve probably bought your bride-to-be more than one gift. We know at least one of those gifts involved a very special piece of jewelry. But this “thanks for planning our wedding” gift needs to be a one of a kind. Show her you care with an originally designed t-shirt just for her. A shirt can communicate whatever you feel to your fiancée. This is an opportunity to her how you feel about her in a way that she can wear over and over again. There is no doubt that she’ll be impressed by your thoughtfulness and originality.
Now if you really want to give her a gift, have one made for yourself as well. Maybe choose a phrase to print on your original shirt that tells her how excited you are to be her husband and that she’s your one and only. What bride wouldn’t love a shirt that says “I love my wife” in her husband’s closet. Wear your love and devotion on your very sleeve, literally. Diamonds are a girls best friend, but a uniquely printed shirt designed by her new hubby will put a lasting smile on your bride-to-be’s face.

Share your Memories: Family Reunion T-Shirts
Planning a family reunion requires a lot of time and organization. Make your event memorable for the entire family by creating something everyone can take home. Ordering customized t-shirts for the whole gang is hassle free when you shop online.You can start with a generic theme like “Davis Family Reunion. Oswald’s Park 2004.” But, don’t stop there! Use a favorite family photo or a family tree. Use the year, a family theme and nicknames. Or, shop from online libraries for artwork, inspiration and motivation.
There’s something for everyone. Try something sentimental and use the family crest or a tree with members’ names with “Baker Family Established October 21, 1945.” Or, “We are family.” Or, use your family’s ethnic flag with “McAllister. American since 1912, Irish Forever.”
Have some laughs with individualized shirts. Use the same artwork and put individual names on each shirt. Try “I’m the Nana.” “I’m the good-looking aunt.” “I’m the drama queen in this family.”
One family asked the great-grandchildren for the names of their great aunts and uncles. These new nicknames from the kids marked the shirts for the 2007 reunion. Everyone had a good laugh when John went from his lifelong nickname of John Junior to “UJ.” The teenagers said it was short for Uncle John.
Does your family have a favorite song or movie? Use it on your t-shirts. Try, “My Big, Fat, Greek Reunion. The Speryos. 2008.” Or, how about a favorite phrase of a family member? The Long family poked fun at Aunt Anne one year with these shirts, “Amen to that!”
Family reunion shirts are good for more than just laughs and memories at the party. They are great for spotting the family if your reunion is at a big public venue. One family had bright, Kelly green shirts for their 2006 party at an amusement park. It was easy to find one another among the games and rides.
It’s easy to order online. Pick artwork from online libraries or design your own. Add text, names, dates and themes. There are thousands of fonts to choose from online. Then pick shirt styles, sizes and colors. See the proof online and order. Here’s a tip from the pros: order more of the larger size shirts than smaller ones. People are typically happy to wear a shirt that’s a bit too big over a shirt that’s too small. Expect delivery to take a couple weeks.
The McDonald family holds a contest every year to create their family reunion t-shirts. It’s a big family with six children, 19 grandchildren and 34 great-grandchildren! To keep their annual party organized they form committees. It’s a real honor to be on the t-shirt committee and select the winner. Last year, they put together 30 years of shirts and made them into a quilt for grandma and grandpa. It was a scrapbook of family parties and memories. The quilt made for a very special gift.
Don’t forget to use your website. It’s becoming more and more common to set up the whole party online. If you’re using a family website or yahoo group to stay connected during the planning process, put the website right on the t-shirt! It makes it easy to remember once everyone starts posting their pictures from the party.
Your family reunion t-shirts are sure to be a hit. Give everyone a reunion gift they’ll remember for generations!
