To quote John Lennon, Oh Yoko.
Quite apart from her place in music history -- and as the first person ever to bring contentment to John's world -- Yoko Ono was and is an artist and a major player in pop style.
She also happens to have been in on the ground floor of Worn Free's development, and her understanding of and endorsement of our idea (and ideals) helped us grow and thrive. For that we're very grateful.
So it seems fitting to showcase Yoko herself modeling our "Voulez-Vous Coucher Avec Moi Ce Soir?" tee. This naughty-for-its-time French come-on (literally but less gracefully translated as "Would you like to go to bed with me tonight?") was first popularized in LaBelle's thundering 1974 R&B triumph "Lady Marmalade" (covered two decades later by a phalanx of pop divas), but it was also the de rigueur salacious invitation of our most hedonistic decade.
Since it's 2009 and we're facing a lot of difficult changes, we offer this shirt and its message in hopes of seeing fewer screw-ups and more hook-ups. Markets going up but the rest of us gettin' down. Less bloodshed and more time in bed. You get the idea.
Isn't there a special someone with whom you'd like to share this message?
