You can tell it's a fine quality item because of the iron-ons and puffy paint

Me and my friend, who we will call "Luann," are into this new show on abcfamily called "Pretty Little Liars." We decided to get together the other night to watch it and somehow came up with the idea to make Twilight t-shirts after. (I think we're planning on wearing them to the movie? Maybe? Don't judge us.) They are pretty amazing. And by amazing, I mean dumb and hilarious. Here's mine:

The brown blob is a werewolf and it says (WEREWOLF) under it in puffy paint. The white circle is a vampire and says (VAMPIRE) under it. (Just in case you couldn't tell from the picture.) I thought the clarification via parentheses might be needed despite the fact that my graphic art skills are so (not) amazing. I feel like it added a little something else, you know? And I'm not sure if you can see it, but the fangs are done in glitter puffy paint. I came up with the idea based on Eclipse, cause *SPOILER ALERT* it's basically about a big werewolf/vampire fight. Hence the "vs." But apparently, and I say this based on my extensive reading of the Twilight Saga and the Sookie Stackhouse/True Blood novels, werewolves and vampires don't get along. I mean, I get it. They both can't be top supernatural being. Gotta have some drama. But can we just talk about my werewolf for a minute? I mean, what is that? A beard that has swallowed a cat? One of the little ghosties from Pacman that fell in a vat of mutation juice along with something vaguely resembling a cat? I suppose it's a bit teen wolf, so that's cool.

Here's the front of Luann's:



The front says "Little Brown CO." for the Twilight book publisher. Pretty creative, no? And yes, the spacing and letters are all sorts of crooked, but it's still amazing! Luann had to go out and buy an iron to do this. An iron! And it is not as easy as it looks. Here's the back:

She has little rhinestone ballet slippers on the sleeve, since Bella took ballet lessons. And the "S WA N" is for Bella's last name, duh. She was going for a jersey look, and I think we can all agree that, MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. By the way, that decal is a peace sign in the shape of a heart. And it took her like 20 years to iron that crap on there. Luann was gonna do a number instead, but the heart is waaay better. Obviously. She also got chocolate on it. We have no idea how. But that's the risk you take when you decide to do an arts and crafts project.

So they're pretty snazzy, right? Totally classy and well-made. I'm sure you'll be seeing these at your local HOTTOPIC in no time. Until then, we're taking orders. Because we're broke and (technically) unemployed and need money as well as something to do. How many can I put you down for?

  1. Too funny. You forgot to mention one thing, tho. We kept it classy the whole time!! Ok, maybe not the whole time...but you know. I think our t-shirt making careers will take off any day now. I have one (pity) request from Mike already. Sadly, I just realized that I took art in almost every grade since Junior High and am still lacking what I would call "elegant creative and classy insight". I guess my time as a Countess has taken over the process. What can I say, my friend? Jeaques or whoever thinks I should focus more on our relationship and ditch the girls, especially Ramona. He believes that she is negatively affecting my ability to be classy and elegant. Also, the Jenna Thing has recently consumed my thoughts. Is A Ali or what? I guess Ill read one of Bethenney's (sp?) books to do some research.
