Inexplicable T-Shirt Slogans
The other day at lunch, I saw two women who I surmised might be a lesbian couple (based on a bit of stereotyping, and also the way they were acting toward one another). When they stood up to leave, I got a glimpse of the t-shirt one of them was wearing that I hadn't seen before. It said:
"I heart vagina"
With a little heart symbol, of course, which I don't know how to make on Blogger. I find that to be every bit as distateful as someone wearing a shirt declaring their love for cock. Whether you are gay or straight, please keep your genital preferences in the privacy of your own home, and bring only your RELATIONSHIP out in public.

A middle aged woman, fairly attractive, in very good shape, possible fake boobies, wearing a fitted black t-shirt with letters made out of rhinestones. (You know the shirts - we've all seen teenagers wearing them that say "princess" or "spoiled" or something like that.) Well this woman's shirt declared sparklely:
"BOTOX"
OK, I guess if you really WANT to advertise that, it's your choice!

What strange t-shirts have you seen lately?

I see some weird T-shirts from time to time. My brother, who is scary looking and built like a coke machine with a head, wears one that says "I HAVE ISSUES".
I don't know, though, I think "I heart Vagina" has this beat.
Hmm, I can't think of any at the moment, but that might be because you just said "love for cock". (I'm now doing that Beavis & Butthead laugh.)
Actually, just today I saw a girl, who seemed to have purposely looked like a slob wearing a t-shirt that said: "LOOK! This is what a feminist looks like." Well, I beg to differ, you don't have to look like a total slob to be a feminist, but whatever.
Lynn: "I Have Issues" would be especially freaky on an imposing figure like your brother!
John Boy: Hey stranger! I always feel good when I can make someone laugh at a good bathroom joke. :)
Dima: Seriously, that t-shirt should require at least a tidy ponytail, and maybe some simple earrings! I'm offended as a feminist!
There's a catalog called What On Earth that has great t-shirts. I am an admirer, though not usually a wearer, of clever ones. I do like the Happy Bunny one that says "It's so cute how you think I'm listening." I fantasize wearing that one to work, but wouldn't do it. On TV, a program about white supremecists(sp?) last week, I saw a young woman with an "I *heart* White Boys" T. Whatever, nutjob.
what if the cock was a picture of a rooster?
(Not that I'd wear the shirt, but that would make me laugh.
Maybe the vagina one really meant she loves veteran affairs gina. I heard there is a Gina working in veterans affairs.
I haven't seen any funny tshirts lately. But I did see a dog with a curly tail. It may have been a piglet. I wasn't really paying much attention and it was at a farm show..
"You're not an ugly person... you're a pretty monkey!", worn by an adorably silly teen girl at an amusement park... made me laugh!
Along the line of Susie's bigot sighting, I recently saw one that said "It's not illegal to be white...yet." It was displayed with a confederate flag. Yikes!
Sort of funny that someone sparkled the word "Botox." Hmmm. :)
I recently saw a shirt on a guy that said "I (little heart graphic) hot moms." To make it even better (or, actually, worse) he was wearing a ginormous! sparkly! belt buckle.
Classy.
Susie: I think that would be PARTICULARLY bad in your line of work! (And the white boys one? Crazy!)
Metro: Now that would be funny! And it's not inappropriate (because, you know, if someone takes it the wrong way, that's THEIR problem, right?)
Happy: I think I've run into VA Gina! She's the cranky physical therapist, right?
Anon: I like that one!
John Boy: Yikes is right! You just don't expect to see that, especially in a big city like LA!
Kerri: Hot moms, plural, huh? He's just gettin' it on with every mom in town, I guess!
The sparkly Botox t-shirt... it's a promotional thingy being given out by the company that makes Botox. Suggested for the staff at plastic/cosmetic surgery practices to wear & encourage patients to use the product. Can't imagine wearing one outside of that situation, except maybe around the house. :-)
Thanks, Anon! That explains the t-shirt's EXISTENCE, but I'm with you. Why wear it to the store? (It was a sporting goods store, too, which makes it even weirder!)
I didn't actually see that shirt in L.A. I saw it when I visited my family in one of those small, conservative towns in the Central Valley of California. Yet, another reason I had to move away.
I once was walking down the street and a very VERY large woman was walking towards me with very huge breasts i might add. And she was wearing a t-shirt in the style of FRANKIE SAYS RELAX which read ' I LOVE MY CURVES', im sure she raised a few eyebrows that day. LMAO!
