Time for our Thanksgiving sale -- so hie thee to WornFree.com and stuff your cart like the proverbial turkey. We're offering EVERY WORN FREE SHIRT at 25% off.
Every shirt, you ask?
EVERY SHIRT. Including our killer new Muhammad Ali tees. And our kick-ass Elvis Karate. Not to mention classic designs originally worn by John Lennon; Kurt Cobain; various Ramones; Frank Zappa; Debbie Harry; Joan Jett; Keith Moon; Joe Strummer; Rod Stewart; Janis Joplin; the guys from Squeeze; Peter Cook and Dudley Moore; and too many more to mention.
Just use the coupon code THANKS when you check out. But don't delay -- these couture-quality, ultra-comfy tees are going faster than a plate of candied yams.
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.
SyFy has launched a new entry in its Stargate franchise, Stargate Universe, and it co-stars Robert Carlyle (middle) and David Blue (right) as smart people who have something to do with stargates and whatnot. But enough TV trivia -- we're bringing all this up as a prelude to the news that the T-shirt peeking out from beneath Blue's jacket is our John Lennon You Are Here.
Which only goes to show that, to quote another classic in the science-fiction genre, Wherever you go, there you are.
Two other bits of business: sign up for our newsletter now (if, for some sci-fi reason, you haven't already) and get 10% off all orders until Dec. 21. And post rock-star pics of yourself on our Facebook page to be eligible to win a free tee. That is all. Klaatu barada nikto.
Perhaps you've seen these snipes all over New York, featuring French electro-house impresario and uber-producer David Guetta, his arms extended beatifically over the writhing, shimmying masses. And perhaps you've noticed his groovy John Lennon Come Together shirt, yet another delicious design from La Maison de Worn Free.
Guetta's been causing a lot of worlds to come together lately, with his ultra-catchy fusion of dance, hip-hop and pop and an all-star cast of collaborators including Black Eyed Peas, Ne-Yo, Kelly Rowland, Akon and Estelle.
And that image of him in our tee makes us want to fly to Ibiza and jump into the middle of a foam-filled dance club. But then, what doesn't?
Elvis Presley was and is The King. He made women faint and made men (like the Beatles, to cite just one example) want to rock just like him. He amped up the blues, vamped up the rock 'n' roll and stamped all over the competition.
He was also a black belt in karate, and had this delightful design created as a patch, which he wore. In addition to some sage advice about conduct in matters of love and honor, it features Elvis' legendary "TCB" (for takin' care of bidnis, as if you didn't know) and a wicked lightning bolt. And, of course, it says "KARATE."
Now, for the first time, this Kingly image is available on a comfy, cozy, beautifully made, fully licensed, badder-than-badass Elvis Presley T-shirt.
Naturally, as with all Worn Free goodies, it comes with a brilliant hang tag/sticker -- which in this case features a pic of Elvis in full martial-arts flower from 1972 at the Kang Rhee Dojo (Master Rhee was Elvis' teacher; read here for more details).
You'll soon be able to snag this little beauty -- along with a handful of other new designs guaranteed to make you salivate -- at 25% off the retail price. Stay tuned for details, and thankyouverymuch.
Yeah, we'll make this quick, because we've got to start marinating meat and pre-mixing cocktails:
Every single frickin' T-shirt currently in stock is now on sale
at a staggering 25% off -- with free shipping -- until July 6.
If you're feeling especially in the spirit of the season, you might pick up our Lester Bangs Freedom or Death shirt, in honor of an uncompromising patriotic spirit.
But if you'd rather have a Zappa Radio Clyde, a Kurt Cobain Olympia, a John Lennon You Are Here, a Debbie Harry Camp Funtime or a Gram Parsons Flying Burrito Bros., be our guest. It's all there, all at 25% off. Instead of linking to all these designs, though, we're going to make potato salad. So head over to wornfree.com and see 'em for yourself.
Just use coupon code BBQ when you check out, and hurry up -- this sale will be a smoky post-fireworks memory come the 6th. And have a safe, happy 4th, everyone.
The people at the L.A. Times Magazine were kind enough to print the above item about us, kindly featuring our Debbie Harry Camp Funtime and John Lennon You Are Here tees (and also mentioning the Kurt Cobain Grunge Is Dead).
We should mention, though, that learning to walk the walk is not necessarily up to you; we will do our utmost to help with that as well on this very blog. Step One: Acquire some groovy WF attire. You can snag that Camp Funtime tee at a discount starting July 1 in honor of Debbie's birthday; details can be found at wornfree.com.
Step Two: Get a guitar, check into the Hotel Marmont and start a bar tab.
More soon.
That's not much of a headline, is it? But then again, who has time to ruminate on clever headers when there's so much stuff going on?
What stuff, you ask? Well, let's start with the L.A. Times Magazine including our Iggy Pop I Wiped Out the 60's in its charming "50 T-Shirts: Wear it out loud" spread:
We're number 29, in case you hadn't noticed.
Cool, right? And then there's the brilliant Michael J. Fox, in a role we predict will earn him an Emmy, on the dark and riveting FX series Rescue Me:
Yep -- he's wearing WF's John Lennon Working Class Hero tee. We've never been more proud, though we hope to find you a better photo of Michael (as the troubled, charming, wheelchair-bound Dwight) very soon.
OK, enough blowing of our horn (for the moment, at least). As you're probably aware, Joey Ramone's birthday falls on May 19, and we're celebrating one of the founding fathers of punk (and, let's face it, one of the patron saints of fun) by offering 20% off every single design he wore. So head on over to the Joey Ramone page, pick out some tees and be sure to use the coupon code NOTJOEY when you check out.
P.S. You ARE following us on Twitter, right? Because we've been doing some Twitter-only deals, and you don't want to miss out on those.
We've been known to gush on this blog, and we're not ashamed to admit it.
Hence the rambling odes to genius guitar players and visionary songwriters and insanely versatile actors.
But man, do we love us some Neil Patrick Harris.
The acting. The singing. The dancing. The funny. Dude, you got the gig. Enough already!
Sure, he's been beloved by the mainstream for decades now, thanks to network stalwarts like "Doogie Howser, M.D." and "How I Met Your Mother." Perhaps that's what makes his madly subversive turns in the "Harold & Kumar" films so outrageously enjoyable.
But you've really gotta see the guy in full-on musical-theater mode to appreciate the range of his abilities. He gave the web community a sampling with "Prop 8: The Musical," but the kicker has to be the riduclously entertaining "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog," in which he played the world's most sympathetic supervillain. His performance in that Joss Whedon-helmed new-media extravaganza immediately jumped into our Top 5 Favorite Things Ever list.
So even though he's not actually wearing WF's John Lennon This Is Not Here tee, the fact that he's brandishing it (backstage at Bravo's A-List Awards) makes us feel all funny inside.
We won't wash that shirt, ever.
