EMPTEES
Emptees boasts not only a great and deep selection of tee designs submitted by the lines themselves, but a drop dead gorgeously simple interface. Kudos to the designers. Nice big 400X800 images of the shirts gives you a good feel for them. Little chatter. Sweet.

Shirt Snob is the first fashion blog in which Progresswear has been featured. We've managed to get notice from some of the best t-shirt blogs (there are dozens, trust me) on the web and haven't even begin to dig into the world of fashion on the web. It's quite daunting, but a necessary part of getting the word out.

Moi.

I just realized that I'd ought to give myself a thumbs up if I'm ever to show up in common with people who've thumbed up my profile here. So there, it's done. It's in the database.

Thanks so much for all the reviews and the thumbs up. I'm flattered as well that so many have tagged or reviewed my painting website as well as Progresswear.

A few have questioned using SU as a forum for free advertising, but most get the fact that in addition to being a social network, many people are using this for business networking. If a magazine editor or tv producer who could expose my shirts to many more people than my meager ad budget could reach, or a collector who might buy a painting of mine stumbles upon me here, all the better.

Hopefully you'll see that there's more to this blog than pimping my stuff. I'm enjoying reading everyone's pages, and often find myself lost for hours in the beauty and fascination that I find in this most generous and truly worldwide community.

Whatever you do or don't celebrate, Happy Holidays, Stumblers.

T-shirt watch, the esteemed blog about all things tee has a superb review up on Progresswear. We're very flattered by the kind words and Doug, the editor's admiration of my painting site.

T-shirt watch is one of the better destinations on the web to take the pulse of the industry as well as plenty of lovely specimens of humans sporting tees. There's a t-shirt for everyone on this most extensive of blogs. Doug's vernacular use of design throughout the site is a tasteful foil to the plethora of cotton and candy.

As a couple of stumblers added some silly reviews that involved a thumbs down, I thought I'd better thumb up the women's page. We sell to women of all sizes, shapes and ages, for the record.

Keep your eye on our selection of shirts as we're finally adding a number of new designs. The Philadelphia City Paper is doing an article on us and it's been a wonderful incentive to get new ideas out there.

LIERAQ Sale Extended
I've spent the better part of two weeks laboriously e-mailing around 800 of our friends, family, clients, collectors, buyers and the 125 or so people who've actually asked for any spam from us to tell them that we're having a sale, $5.00 off all LIERAQ gear until December 10th. It's our first sale, in honor of our first anniversary. And in anticipation of our pull out of Iraq, be that two months or twenty years.

We've got an electorate who feels that now it's our turn to declare a mandate, though, as with Bush's two elections, the use of the M word is most inappropriate. Yet many feel we've earned capital and can borrow Georgie's line and announce to the world that we're going to spend that there capital. Voters, bloggers and grassroots groups are already launching campaigns of accountability, promising to hold the collective feet of the newly elected to the fire. If they won't give us a nice, juicy, bloody impeachment, they can at least ensure that serious hearings into how and why we went into Iraq will take place. And soon, one can only hope.

Polling since the mid-terms shows overwhelming support for impeachment should it be concluded that Bush lied about Iraq. He did, and with any luck this will be our Watergate. Jack Abramoff's in jail. Tom DeWho is all but invisible on the political landscape. In what seemed like mere weeks the Repulic party (to paraphrase Mr. Bush) self destructed and deflated before our eyes as a groundswell of thinking Americans rose to vote, the war in Iraq their number one issue. Gay marriage, stem cell research, abortion, not even immigration came close. For once, the values voter was taking a truly moral stance.

It gives one hope that perhaps there is a bit of justice in the world and that this time, it just might prevail. Yet who is going to tell that to the mourners of the 100,000 to 600,000 Iraqis no longer walking the planet due to our folly? We've buried 2,890 of our own. Watching the hearings and coming to terms at last with the truth about why their sons and daughters aren't coming home will be painful for these people. And for those who stood silent witnessing the lies, or cheered on the march to war, their silent shame will be palpable.

LIERAQ. $5.00 OFF THROUGH DECEMBER 15TH.
