Current mood:  anxious
Category: Fashion, Style, Shopping
So this morning I'm sitting here at the computer in my scooby-doo feety pajamas(size XL), drinking from my "Jamaica - No Problem Mon" coffee mug kicking myself for missing last night's episode of  Deal or No Deal and thinking to myself, "Self, we need a new kind of merchandise... something creative, something fun, something not done before.. because that's what is exciting."
I pondered a few ideas, each wackier than the next: 
  - bandanas
  - textbook covers
  - fanny packs
  - those cute little track shorts that girls are wearing these days
The point of the blog is-
I feel a little stuck on this idea.. like I've reached a peak. I can't decide on something that really satisfies me. I thought, "I need to ask a group of diverse people from different places with different ideas and preferences.. bingo, myspace."

If anyone has any good ideas for a new type of merchandise you'd like to see(don't lie I know ya'll do!).. then shout us a holler.. We'll be online tonight and tomorrow and the next day and, let's not kid ourselves, probably everyday after that.. we're dying to hear from you!

OR let the fans submit a t-shirt design and vote on it. That's even cooler than doing it yourself

Take shit from everyday life, but use it differently.

examples. get jeans cut the legs off, then get a nice styleish shirt cut it up and sew it back as legs on the jeans.

Make chain mail out of canned foods. (Throw the food at some homeless if you don't want to feel like you wasted it)

Take some old books and tear out all the pages to make some pants. Go doody anytime anywhere, plus they will slowly become shorts for the warm weather later.

or just wear "nWo" shirts, preferably red and black, with sting and kevin nash.

Sing it Loud does neon sunglasses, Cobra Starship does hypercolor t-shirts, a lot of bands do the track shorts, bandanas, and headbands. FFL fanny packs are actually not a bad idea. Urban Outfitters sells fanny packs like hot cakes. They're totally making a comeback and like, no one's hopping on this other than Gwen with her Harajuku Lovers fanny packs. I also remember being at Warped in Minnesota this year, frantically looking for a cute hat so if it rained my weave wouldn't get wet. Anyway, they were hard to find and I had to buy one from some weird rasta booth. So there's another idea. Cute hats. And yeah, clearly I'm at my creative peak for tonight too.

Haha, you had the right idea with your title...FLL Fruit Snacks! Make each one in the shape of a band member's head. XD thats bold, new, and well...mostly very bold.

the track shorts, bandannas and fanny packs have been done unfortunately, but seeing as how your album is entitled "Rad Science" you could easily do text book covers and incorporate the album title/band name and promo picture into that.

Then anyone with that would obviously be promoting you every time they used their text books.

Another thing my band is doing, is selling our EP as a wrist band with a flash drive connected.

You can check those here.
