Meet Nick Dresti, AKA DJ Space Cowboy: personal DJ for Lady Gaga (and co-writer of several of her songs), protege of Fatboy Slim, remixer of Paul McCartney, Fergie and The Darkness (among many others), recording artist and clotheshorse.
The French phenom is seen here at the legendary retail spot Decade in Pittsburgh sporting WF's Queen Crazy Tour tee.
Fun facts: His debut album, Across the Sky (released on Fatboy's Southern Fried label), was Japan's third-biggest electronica release of 2004. His new collection (and U.S. debut), Digital Rock Star, hit store shelves and iPhones in October of this year.
Another fun fact: the Queen Crazy Tour T-shirt is available right here, and can be had for 25% off (if you order by midnight tonight, 11/30).
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.
Marko DeSantis (AKA Marko 72) of the Cali band Sugarcult whips yet another crowd into a frenzy while sporting our Yoko Ono Voulez-Vous Couchez Avec Moi Ce Soir? shirt. The French message printed thereon, popularized in the '70s by LaBelle in "Lady Marmalade," means, roughly: Would you like to go to bed with me tonight? We'd wager more than a few fans of the band, now celebrating its 10th anniversary, would likely take him up on that.

Because Labor Day is our chance to celebrate people who work hard for the money, the coupon code you'll need for this splendid sale is WCHERO. As they say on the recorded message, please make a note of it.
Yes, we know the focus has lately been on our Debbie Harry shirts, what with the sale on all Deborah designs through 7/15 (that's this Wed.); that said, we just had to show you this charming photo of singer-songwriter Leah Andreone in our John Lennon You Are Here tee.
Leah's new record, Avalanche, won't be out until Sept. 1, but you can sample her musical wares at leahandreone.com. Suffice to say she's got a killer voice and some truly gripping songs (including one co-written and sung with fellow WF aficionado Dan Wilson, who has rocked the very same design on this here blog).
P.S. If you want a Debbie Harry tee like Punk, Camp Funtime, No Pictures, Vultures, L.A.M.F., etc., hie thee to the Worn Free site and get 10% off by Wed. with coupon code RAPTURE. And stay tuned for news about kids' shirts and brand new designs!
Here it is: the final of our four May Madness mega-bargains. I'm referring to the badass Dee Dee Ramone Snake Farm tee, available at a steep 25% discount until month's end (be sure to enter coupon code MADMAY).
Modeled on the serpentine splendor of Dee Dee's '70s original (snapped in London, after the Ramones had infected the U.K. once again with the aggro three-chord mayhem they'd bred in Queens), this menacing motif will hypnotize your metal, glam and punk pals alike.
But don't roll snake eyes by missing it -- May Madness will gave way to June, er, rationality in no time at all. So Gabba Gabba get on it.
C'mon in -- there's cake! And funny hats! And jugglers and dancing girls!
OK, that's not true. We're not equipped to throw Iggy Pop the kind of birthday party he deserves. So we'll have to make do with some worshipful words and a spectacular offer on gorgeous repros of shirts he wore in famous photos.
First, the praise in prose. We have Iggy to thank for laying the groundwork for the passionate punk rebellion in the early '70s, when most of the rock nation was lost in a fog of guitar noodling, album-length songs and, well, actual fog.
The Igster also gets credit for finding (alongside frequent collaborator David Bowie but also on his own) a fascinating niche as an often aggressive but melodically inspired singer-songwriter. A witty, trenchant lyricist, he spun new kinds of stories and put them in a new kind of musical package -- we're talking "Lust for Life," "The Passenger," "China Girl," "Sister Midnight" and "Tonight" (not to mention underrated killers like "Blah Blah Blah").
So: Happy Birthday, Mr. Osterberg. You may be turning 62, but your music is still a brilliant, gawky teen, hurling itself at convention with an abandon both menacing and joyous.
And Happy Iggy's Birthday to you, Worn Free community -- head over to the T-shirt store and get yourself 15% off compelling torso coverings like Dublin Sound Studios, I Wiped Out the 60's, Rainbow and Camel. Just use coupon code NEWVALUES. It's worth a million in prizes.
