Another groovy fashion blog has given us a plug, so we feel duty-bound to return the favor: check out the idilVice FashionRocks blog, which not only says nice things about Worn Free wares but also pairs our tees with their rock 'n' roll skirts for some sexy full-body combos.  And who doesn't dig a sexy full-body combo?

For example: Dig the chemistry of our Debbie Harry Punk tee with this groovy Blondie skirt, featuring a glorious repro of the cover pic from the new-wave icons' criminally underrated sophomore album, "Plastic Letters."  Cool, eh? 

Thanks, FashionRocks.  We think you're way hot.

Oh, and before we forget: Keep your eyes peeled for the next Worn Free newsletter, which will hip you to our next mondo-discount sale. 

What's that?  You say you don't get the newsletter? We're glad you told us first; if this got out your credibility could suffer a mortal blow.  Go here, and quickly.

We're not one of those snooty blogs that can't spread the love and links around.  In fact, we think you should head over to the new destination Dead Cool and sign up -- with its promise of daily e-mail updates on

... not to mention movies, nightlife and what have you, it promises to be a compelling read.

 

Oh, and they happen to be offering, for a limited time, a 20% discount on Worn Free tees to their subscribers.  So you might just want to head over there.

 

Debbie Harry, Chris Stein and Clem Burke of Blondie are seen here reporting to VH1 at the Brooklyn Museum's "Who Shot Rock and Roll" exhibit; stellar drummer Burke sports our John Lennon You Are Here T-shirt, another little bit of rock history.

Chris Stein performed with Blondie AND exhibited some of his superb photos.  Click here to see video from VH1.com. And stop by WornFree.com to see our Debbie Harry and Chris Stein shirts.  Blondie, after all, is a group.

Halloween is always gone before you know it.  But you can sport the spirit of the spookiest of holidays all year 'round, thanks to this week's special tee, the Joan Jett Skull & Snake.

Steve Ford Panel

You may recognize Steve Ford, the irrepressible proprietor of Decade in Pittsburgh.  The photos above, which he kindly furnished, show what he used to turn himself into a rock star using only a couple of Worn Free tees and assorted household items.

And given the cost of a fancy get-up, we advise you to follow his lead and dress up like a rock star this Halloween. It's easy -- and to make it even easier, grab yourself a stylish, comfy Worn Free shirt and take 25% off.

Steve made himself up as Kurt Cobain (in our Daniel Johnston Hi How Are You tee) and Frank Zappa (sporting the classic Radio Clyde shirt); apart from the shirts, his supplies were, he reports, "Girlfriend's makeup and skinny jeans; strong rope; cardboard; spraypaint; cutting tool; wig; Harry Potter glasses." Talk about no-frills.  But we think he looks bloody fantastic.

Which rock icon will you conjure this Halloween? Whichever one you choose, take 25% off (use coupon code GHOSTROCK) and, if possible, post a photo on our Facebook page.

Congratulations to the winners of Worn Free's Facebook Rock Star Photo Contest, Paul Carpy Carpenter and Shaun Khiu.

Carpy (left, swinging his axe) sports our Keith Moon Gun tee; Shaun, resplendent in leather and surrounded by pinups, noted in his caption, "All I'm missing is a Worn Free tee."  Good news, Shaun: You and your fellow victor will both get free Worn Free tees of your choice.

Thanks to everyone who submitted photos; you're all rock stars to us.

Here's something we haven't been able to do before: Show you an original photo of a famous person wearing a design, and then a new photo of them wearing our reproduction.  In fact, our version won't even be for sale until 2010, but we're so geeked about it we couldn't wait.

Rodney Bingenheimer -- KROQ-Los Angeles DJ, promoter, scenester and L.A. music god, AKA the Mayor of the Sunset Strip, first wore this ultra-stylish, essentially SoCal Surfin' tee in 1980, when KROQ was "the Roq of the '80s" and he was exposing the town to cool new-wave and pop sounds from local bands and international hipsters alike.

He donned the new version of this gorgeous tee to attend a Taschen Books event toasting his old pal Brian Wilson,  mastermind of the Beach Boys and epitome of Cali surf culture (though he has never, to our knowledge, mounted a wave himself -- a mere triviality considering his mastery in surfing the curls of melody, harmony and orchestration).

So we're pleased to present Rodney then and now: a major figure in L.A. music history, a patron saint of great independent music and a true gentleman.

The headline says it all: We've gone completely around the bend, and from Oct. 12-18 you can benefit from our insanity by snagging tees like these ...

... and these ...

... and these ...

... and plenty more besides in women's sizes at a mind-blowing HALF OFF.  Head on over to WornFree.com on Monday and start shopping before we regain our tenuous hold on reality.  As the boilerplate says, while supplies last.
