Crave: “I Voted” Hello Kitty T-Shirt

Annika HarrisOctober 14, 2008 //

These have been some serious times lately. We’re at war, our economy is down the toilet and now we have to choose our next president. But that doesn’t mean you can’t have a little fun on election day. Since you can’t wear any partisan paraphernalia at a polling site (it’s viewed as campaigning), we suggest you wear this whimsical Hello Kitty T-shirt, instead. The famous character shows her red, white and blue pride on a hockey-style tee with a vintage wash. And the “Don’t Blame Me, I Voted For Hello Kitty” slogan gives you an excuse if your actual candidate falls short of his promises. [$19, Alloy] Keep reading »

SimchaFebruary 27, 2008 //

Gennifer Flowers, the self-proclaimed “charismatic actress, comedienne, and singer,” is better known for her recordings of President Clinton. The pair allegedly had a 12-year affair that was exposed during his 1992 Presidential campaign.

Either she’s the world’s worst businesswoman or she’s still gunning for Slick Willie. Flowers told The Las Vegas Review Journal that her auction has nothing to do with the primaries, saying, “I don’t need to hurt Hillary. She is doing a fine job of that herself, along with her idiot husband. Karma is an interesting thing. If these two don’t get elected, and they are a team, it will be karma coming back to visit them. It’s about time.” Keep reading »
