My mom finally seemed to get the point this year when shopping for clothes for my nephew. Rather than continue to buy him polo shirts that she would just have to take back to the store the day after Christmas, she actually managed to buy him cool t shirts, as Chandler likes to call them, or attitude tees, as I do. The shirts that she picked out all had his favorite cartoon or video game characters on them, including that kid from Bakugon; Mario; Sonic, Silver, and Shadow the Hedgehogs; and the Star Wars Lego characters. Although they didn't have the messages on them that he normally likes, like the one about how aliens kidnapped his teacher but sent her back to Earth because she gave them too much homework, they still got two-thumbs up.I don't blame the kid really for his fashion tastes. At one point in time, I would have probably worn every polo shirt that my mom threw at me, but now I'd much rather wear fresh t shirts that make a statement or at least make people laugh than little green gators and blue horses on my chest. At least when my nephew's birthday comes up in April, I'll know in which direction to point my mother's debit card, LocalCelebrity.com. LocalCelebrity.com sells a wide assortment of graphic tees for men, women, and picky nephews alike. Take the t-shirt pictured above, for instance. It's message, "Save H20. Don't shower," just screams Chandler. The kid actually takes pride on the number of non-school days that he goes without showering. He wears dirt like it's a badge of honor. Since I've been home, I've had to resort to bribing him just to get him in the vicinity of the bathroom
As for me, I like the T-shirt pictured at left, which is part of LocalCelebrity.com's women's collection. I'm one of those people who wears sunscreen every day and rarely tans on purpose. If I'm at the beach or in the pool, obviously I'll expose myself to the sun, albeit with loads of SPF in between me and the rays, but you'll never catch me lying on a towel in the backyard, slathered in oil like a piece of bacon or, even worse, in a tanning bed. My sister, a tanorexic, likes to call me the whitest person on the planet. While I doubt that I'm that pale, I might at least make the finals, especially in a state like Georgia, which tends to be run by the Too Tanned Mafia. Anyway, I thought if I bought the shirt and wore it obsessively, she would at least get the point and leave me alone. Then again, knowing my sister, she would probably just find something else to pick on me about. In that case, I might just want to stick to one of LocalCelebrity.com's green t-shirts like the Captain Planet one below. Surely even my sister wants to save the planet.
Like LocalCelebrity.com's great selection of shirts wasn't enough of a reason to shop there, the deals that the site offers on purchases and shipping make the shopping experience even better. For example, the site puts a different man and woman's shirt on sale every day for just $12. All you have to do is click on "Daily Deal" to see what that day's discounted shirts are. LocalCelebrity.com also offers an A-list discount on purchases. The "Pale is the New Tan" shirt above, which costs $28 for non-members, costs only $22 for A-listers. A-listers further get access to red carpet express checkout, LocalCelebrity.com contests and events, and special email and checkout promotions. Best yet, registration for the A-list is free. What else is free at LocalCelebrity.com? Try ground shipping on all U.S. orders over $50. You can't beat deals like that.
Now I just found the perfect shirt for my sister, "As Seen on MySpace." Maybe I ought to suggest that my mother get it for my sister. Spying on Tina on MySpace is the only way she knows what's going on with her these days, but don't even get me started on that subject. To use a quote that I heard on TV recently, "That's a whole other Oprah!"
