Reply To: Merchandise Ideas
I've stayed out of this one until now 'cause I don't really have any big ideas. (For the record, I'd totally buy a half pony-half monkey monster, esp. if you also made a little 2 inch tall version [think of the people who would use it in D&D games!] that I could put on my desk with my little Doctor Octopus HeroClix and my little Doc Hudson car)
However, I do want to comment on t-shirts.
Lots of people use American Apparel because they're supposed to be so "good" (liberal wise). Personally, I have beef against them because they're very fat-negative in their sizing.
Now, I'm a bigger girl. I wear a size medium or large tshirt in men's shirts.
But in their girl shirts, I can't wear a large. It's way too small. And few places carry their extra large (in fact, I don't even have one). And in the larger sizes, they didn't give any extra room in the arms (bigger girls often times have bigger arms) and it hurts. The only way you can fix it is via cutting out the hem.
Not to mention their horrible sizing of their undies. They've got sizes 1, 2 and 3. (s, M and L) and the large is still pretty small, like a size 6 or 7 or so.
I'd love to wear a JoCo tshirt, but I hope you do it with a company that appreciates larger women by selling girly shirts in larger sizes.
(I'll give some good ideas later when I get them.
Oh, and karaoke CDs FTW.)
