Sweet Tee of the week



In honor of the release of his documentary film "This is it", I dedicate the sweet tee of the week to the memory of Michael Jackson. I found this tee shirt on line on tshirthub.com and thought it was cute and clever it reads: He may have been "Off The Wall", But when he sang it was always such a "Thriller". Some people called him "Bad" or "Dangerous", But he will always be part of my "History"! Forever, Michael. All hail the late King of Pop! You'll surely be missed. The shirt can be purchased on the site in a varitey of colors, sizes and styles, so get creative at; http://www.tshirthub.com/jaaltee.html

Don Fisher Gone, The Gap lives on


GAP co-founder Don Fisher died yesterday after a battle with cancer. Fisher, along with his wife Doris, opened the first Gap store in 1969. [Hence, the 1969 line.]They took a simple tee shirt and jeans concept and turned it into an iconic store in the UK & US alike. Fisher stepped down as chairman of Gap in 2004 but had remained a director and executive of the brand. Chief executive and board chairman Glenn Murphy was quoted as saying; "Today we lost a friend, a mentor and a great visionary, Don and Doris took a simple idea and turned it into a brand a brand recognised as a cultural icon throughout the world and changed the face of retail forever."
How many people do you know haven't ever shopped in the GAP at one point or another? Unless you've been living under a rock, Gap Women/ Men, Baby/ Kids and Body have all been embraced by us or even hated at times for loosing its original luster. All the while, we've supported this brand & its growth throughout the years, thus making it forever relevent. Rest in peace Mr. Fisher, you've left a major mark in the Fashion Retail Industry.

9/11 ,How could we forget?



It's been eight years but it feels like it was just yesterday that this tragedy took place and broke the hearts of millions. I'll never begin to understand how human beings could commit such heinous crimes against other human beings. The reality is though, we can't disect what we can't identify. So for everyone that has suffered, families and friends of victims, my heart will always go out to you. Stay strong, keep your faith and God Bless.
