New custom hoodie print! I have great timing...

I really can't ignore the irony of adding a new hoodie to my website when I've had 2 fans and one air conditioner blowing in my direction all day.

Whatever. New faux fur hoodie print: giraffe! Might sound random but I think its pretty fuckin cool-looking. Once its not 90 degrees (in November maybe?) I'll add brown tiger print and brown zebra print to my custom hoodie collection. Last year I bought 4 new fabric prints to expand the hoodie line, made one sample, sent it out for photos in December, and now I'm finally adding the FIRST new print to my website. I'm not sure if the 4th new print will ever be made, because in a fit of fabric-buying insanity I actually bought cow print fabric. Fucking cow print. Who the hell wants to look like a cow? Maybe I'll get a CAT-scan before I go fabric shopping again...

Faux fur hoodies are available in sizes XSmall to 3XLarge, $45. Custom lengths and sizes are also available, email me. I make a bazillion of these a year, most people love the fit and some people buy one in every color. (Seriously. I am a hoodie-making machine!)

I guess my cow-print fabric decision could have been worse, the faux fur fabric store also has purple camouflage and neon blue flame fur. Should I stretch the limits of tacky farther than you've ever seen, and buy their entire fabric library for my hoodies? I guess if this clothing line fails, I might as well go down in flames! Ahahahaha I'm shutting up now.

I also got new pictures of two hoodies that are already up on my website, the red leopard and the black and white leopard.


Not my usual sweaty dirty TRU PUNX photo shoot style, but we all like variety, right? If anybody wants to model my stuff, add me on Model Mayhem:

eBay Clearance Sale! Samples and Fabric

Yes, I'm STILL trying to get rid of old inventory! My yard sale/Craigslist ad put a nice dent in the huge fabric stash that I don't need but there's still a lot more that needs to go.

Right now I've got 2 lots of fabric up on eBay, a faux fur lot and a vinyl/pvc lot. I originally planned to put a lot more into 99 cent auctions but I realized that the fabric pieces are too small for me to take the time to measure and take pictures of and write descriptions about and all that shit. But obviously they are not too small for me to find some reason to keep them. ARRRGH! Hey Sacramento-ans, if you like to sew, I'm still trying to give shit away!

Funny story: I was throwing out some old thrift store clothes today and my fellow pack-rat roommate Reggie told me to stop so he could go through it all. He is now the proud owner of a bright green plaid women's vest. With a nice silver zipper, black velvet collar and a flounce ruffle in back. Its hilarious. No picture, but if you know him, just imagine him doing an Irish jig at the top of the porch stairs while wearing something ridiculous. (If you've ever hung out with him, that image should come to you with no effort) I think he's gonna wear it to band practice tonight, to try to get somebody to tell him that it looks good.

Part of my sample sale is also up on eBay auctions. $8 clothes! $9 clothes! $12 clothes! Bid on it, so eBay doesn't take away my top-rated-powerseller status when my sales go down because nobody buys animal print hoodies in July! (Someday I'll make something that sells year round. Someday.)
