How we miss you, O Godfather of Punk. If we were in NYC tonight we'd surely be attending the gala 9th Annual Joey Ramone Birthday Party event at the Fillmore.
At least we can offer Joey's fans 20% off all the designs he wore. Like this one.
Just head over to the Joey Ramone page and pick out your faves -- and don't forget to enter the coupon code NOTJOEY when you check out. The sale ends 5/31, so hey ho, let's go.
Oh, dear. That's rather a tacky headline. But hey, you think it's easy being bloggishly clever day in and day out? Why don't you come over here and try it, then? No, wait. We didn't mean it. Please don't come over here. We love this job.
What we really want to see is this: One of our highly covetable tees was spotted on WWE superstar Edge (see below), and several of our hottest designs are on sale for a limited time at the outrageous power-slam price of $30.
First, here's Edge, rocking our Joey Ramone Punk Magazine shirt on the occasion of a tense bout (known in the trade, we're fairly certain, as a "smackdown") with fellow combatant Matt Hardy.
And speaking of wrestling, we know you're grappling with an economy that's got your wallet in a hammerlock, so we're going to help you leap off the ropes and land squarely on this recession's chest with $30 deals on the following mega-hot designs:
Yep, you can obtain Debbie Harry "Punk" (modeled here by the ravishing Naomi Campbell); I'm Not Johnny Ramone (as seen on the delicious Eva Mendes); John Lennon Working Class Hero (thank you, Marlon Wayans); John Lennon You Are Here (pictured on the comely torso of Jaime King); Debbie Harry Camp Funtime (worn freely by the captivating Mischa Barton) and Lester Bangs Freedom or Death (as demonstrated by the reliably demonstrative Kevin Dillon, AKA Johnny Drama, on Entourage) -- all for a mere 30 clams.
So what are you waiting for, people? Wrestle out that credit card and let's make this happen.
Yeah, we know this now globally famous photo of Naomi Campbell in WF's Debbie Harry punk shirt isn't exactly new. But if you haven't seen it before, it's new to you, isn't it? And more to the point, it's new to the Australian edition of the delicious international periodical OK ("the world's celebrity lifestyle magazine"), which favored us with a tempting blurb.
But looking at that hot, hot pic of Naomi got us to thinking: Where are the other supermodels, and why have they not gotten on the punk bandwagon? Are they afraid? Do they not know enough about the legacy of Punk Magazine, or for that matter of trendsetting punk-pop-disco visionaries Blondie and the incandescently wonderful Debbie Harry?
Well, you can read all about Blondie here. And you'll find the still vital Punk Magazine here. You'll probably also want to check out Legs McNeil's definitive chronicle of the era, Please Kill Me.
Or you could just get the damn shirt already. Or, if you simply must be different, consider one of these.
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.
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.
It seems you'll be seeing quite a lot of WF shirts on the TNT series My Boys, the sitcom about a career girl and her crazy crew of platonic guyfriends. (Only on TV, right?) The character of Brendan, a DJ undergoing an on-again off-again relationship, will be putting Worn Free tees on again and again. Keep an eye on his manly torso for shirts worn by Zappa, Lennon, Joan Jett and Joey Ramone, among others. And if you can TiVo every episode and then publish a screenshot of Brendan in every single WF shirt ... well, you'll be infringing copyright, so cut it out.
