Regular Lost viewers -- and you can count us among those alternately riveted and puzzled hordes -- received a shock on a recent episode when (spoiler alert, if you're planning to catch the season on DVD or just have a TiVo backlog) the character of Alex Rousseau was summarily terminated.
Alex, rebellious and lovestruck daughter of the enigmatic quasi-villain Ben Linus, was played by the radiantly gorgeous Tania Raymonde, seen here making Worn Free's Joey Ramone Punk shirt look incredibly glamorous.
Tania first caught our eye years ago, playing the precocious (if obnoxious) Cynthia Sanders on Malcolm in the MIddle. Though her beauty was evident, the adolescent actress primarily showed a fierce presence, a strong aptitude for comedy, and a striking ability to temper her character's pain-in-the-butt qualities with aching vulnerability. We knew she was bound for bigger things. By the time she appeared on Lost, she'd grown so coltishly exquisite that it took us a moment to connect her with the gawky Cynthia.
Now that her character's gone to the great island in the sky, she's begun to expand her film work. We look forward to her breakout role.
Yes. Way.
That's Norwegian matinee idol Trond Espen Seim (on the left) as the title character in the thriller Varg Veum: Falne Engler. He's flanked by Scandinavian hottie Pia Tjelta, but you probably knew that -- just as you were probably aware that he's rocking Worn Free's Joey Ramone Capitol Theatre tee.
Varg Veum, for the handful of you who aren't intimately familiar with him, is the Bergen-based detective in a series of policiers penned by Gunnar Staalesen. The mystery of why this Viking-descended cop would have such a rock 'n' roll sense of style in this filmic adaptation remains unsolved; fortunately, the flick is probably screening at your local multiplex.
What? It isn't? Hmmm. Well, you can read about it here.
Thanks to Karianne for sending us this photo.
Here's something that might give you some Norwegian wood: Free shipping on Worn Free tees (for a limited time). Set sail for WornFree.com now.
To celebrate the redesign of WornFree.com, we're offering free shipping on all shirts.
Now, a few caveats:
- The free shipping won't last long, so don't dawdle. We hate it when you dawdle.
- You'll still be responsible for any taxes or customs duties your home country (and where do you live, anyway?) sees fit to impose on the privilege of having spectacularly stylish and comfortable couture delivered to your doorstep.
- Clicking on Mischa Barton's picture will not result in Mischa Barton being sent to your home. How many times must we go over this?
OK, we've sent the attorneys packing. Back to the good stuff.
Not only is the new site a bit easier to use, but it showcases several of our newer designs, including the dazzling suite of Queen tour tees (for the polymorphously perverse rock animal in your life), the dashing Ian Dury Taxi, Blockheads and Antigua tees (a treasure for fans of witty punk/new-wave), the saucy Jeff Beck "Oh Yeah" and On the Road Again shirts (manna for guitar freaks), the audaciously erotic Alan Aldridge London (Smile) shirt and the charming Willie Hall Hollywood T-shirt (for classic-soul aficionados and Tinseltown devotees alike).
Of course, you'll be able to find all your favorite John Lennon, Frank Zappa, Iggy Pop, Debbie Harry, Joan Jett, Johnny and Joey Ramone, Gram Parsons, Ian Hunter, Mick Ronson, Steve Marriott, John Van Hamersveld and other tees as well.
And did we mention the free shipping? OK, just checking.
The lads known as Kaiser Chiefs are the dapper, internationally beloved musical ambassadors of Worn Free attire. This time it's drummer Nick Hodgson's turn to act as spokesmodel; in this charming shot, he's proudly displaying our Joey Ramone "Wheels" tee -- a testimony, no doubt, to the Chiefs' tireless touring, as well as the endless allure of skateboards for tousle-haired young men.
The band will be playing a slew of American dates in September before rolling on back to Europe; check out their MySpace page for details, and add the band as a friend (if you haven't already). Tell them the shirtblog sent ya.
You won't often see L.A. alt-cabaret chanteuse, glam-rock icon and bass virtuoso Abby Travis in a T-shirt; her preferred stage attire is a wild amalgam of '20s sexpot-meets-Weimar-siren-meets-Roxy-Music couture, frequently accented with feather headdresses and similarly understated frippery.
All the more reason to cheer that she has chosen to adorn her comely torso with our Joey Ramone Punk Magazine shirt.
In any case, you are hereby urged to (a) pick up a copy of Abby's fan-freaking-tastic album Glittermouth, a stylistic tour of her dazzling sensibility with stops in glam village and funkytown; and, if you're a SoCal local, (b) catch one of her upcoming shows as both bassist for distaff power-pop collective The Bangles AND as the opening act. The Travis/Bangles shows will go down on Thurs., July 26, at the House of Blues on the Sunset Strip and on Sat., July 28, at the House of Blues San Diego. Abby's hard-working band hits the stage at 8:15 on both nights. Wherever you live, you should (c) become her friend.
So, this publication called People Magazine -- perhaps you've heard of it -- has included our Joey Ramone Capitol Theatre tee in its Father's Day gift guide, in the subsection "For the Dad Who Is a Kid at Heart." Are we pleased? You could say that. And while our own dads, God bless 'em, have never heard of Joey Ramone and prefer to wear white undershirts that still have gravy stains from last Thanksgiving, we know some rock 'n' roll dads who very much deserve a cool, comfortable bit of cottony couture. So why not give the gift of Worn Free?
