Kick off your weekend with these adorable little synchronized kitties:
New Yorkers, if you’re looking for something fun to do this weekend you can find me at Unique NYC in booth 408. Come check out Made in the USA design and enjoy access to a free open bar. Fun!
• Kudos for the sly nod to NOT drinking and driving
• Beer > heist money
• That’s a lot of off-duty cops in that bar
• “Made From Beer” is a slogan straight out of Idiocracy
In other drinking-related news:
I’ll be selling my wares this weekend (Saturday AND Sunday) at the Baltimore Comic Convention in the Baltimore Convention Center. Our good friend John at Ex-Boyfriend’s unofficial “sponsor bar” Bad Decisions is knocking a whopping 10% off the tab of anyone who comes in Saturday or Sunday wearing Ex-Boyfriend gear! A pretty sweet deal from the best bar and lifestyle label Charm City has to offer!
Admission to the con is super-cheap — just $25 for Saturday, $20 for Sunday, or $40 for both! If you’re a panicking Yankees fan, come out for the nerds during the day, catch the game across the street with us in the evening, and then get crunk at Bad Decisions to drown your sorrows after the O’s win! Just hop in the closest cab and say “Fells Point, corner of Fleet & Washington”!
Finally, if you’ve been itching to get a Fuzz Aldrin, Catnip Freakout, or Fidel Catro shirt for yourself or a friend, September is the month to do it. Why? Because Ex-Boyfriend has teamed with Jackson Galaxy and Spirit Essences to support the worthy cat rescue group Kitten Associates! Throughout the month of September, Ex-Boyfriend is donating $5 from the sale of tees & hoodies featuring these three designs to Kitten Associates, so snap ‘em up yourself, or help us spread the word!
After literally months of work, I can proudly present my new line of billfold wallets! They’re made in the U.S.A., 100% cruelty-free, and super-durable — not to mention quite stylish! The interior features a large billfold slot for cash, as well as four smaller slots for ID and credit cards.
We decided to start small with the number of designs, but will be adding to these inaugural six in the coming months. A very big thank you to all of the friends and fans we tapped for feedback and help with the design choices and color selections!
Lemme back up — a wild fire in Santa Barbara, CA (oh how I wish it was Santa Cruz so I could insert obligatory “go Banana Slugs!” exclamation here — wait, I just did!) last week forced this 3-day old fawn to bunk with this 3-week old bobcat kitten, as the Santa Barbara County Dispatch Office had run out of crates large enough to fit the fawn, and the kitten made a bee-line to get some snuggle time.
Can you say “love at first awwwww”?

p.s. – In the DC-area and looking for something to do on Sunday? Swing by our booth (#620) at the Capital Pride Festival in our nation’s capital! Free swag, awesome clothing & accessories — it has the potential to be legen – wait for it – darily fabulous!
Full disclosure: my friends Adrienne & Tony like to send blog fodder my way because they know *gasp* that I need help finding stuff to share with you guys. I would scour the interwebz myself, but no one else is designing epically awesome t-shirts & stuff, so I get busy.
Anyway, Adrienne sent me the link to MakeUpAndBeautyBlog.com a couple weeks ago — you know, because of my well-known liquid eyeliner addiction.
So I met Tabs, a MALE cat being forced to wear chunky jewelry. I would almost want this sort of thing classified as animal abuse…but he looks so fetching!
I also am somewhat perturbed by the lack of Ex-Boyfriend cat-themed gear in this post, but given the plethora of pics featuring Tabs, I figure I’ll let Karen slide. She seems like good people.
Black-footed cats Godiva & Wyatt of the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo just welcomed two new kittens into the world earlier this month, and they. Are. Awesome.
Also, not to sound all broken record-y, but if you’re in the mid-Atlantic this weekend and would like to stretch your legs and see some cute critters up-close, please come support the Maryland SPCA at their 17th annual March for the Animals at Druid Hill Park in Baltimore, Maryland this Sunday morning (4/29/2012) from 10am to 2pm! There’ll be food vendors, demonstrations, training classes, plus the Maryland SPCA’s mobile adoption center for those of you who might want to welcome a new member into your family!
Oh, right — I’ll be there too! I’ll be selling the usual suspects: tees, messenger bags, art prints, belts, etc, plus handing out TONS of free swag!
Have a great weekend, guys! Don’t drink too much tomorrow, and please remember to tell everyone you know about our fundraising promotion for the Maryland SPCA — a lot of new designs this year, PLUS the art prints, PLUS you get karmic brownie points…and who couldn’t use a few more of those?
