You know what's never been on a t-shirt...

... a clever tweaking of a HUGE constitutional decision on abortion; ROE v. WADE - but with a FISHING theme! Brilliant!

...hold on to the ME-MO-REEEESSS...

Lord, this is bad... but a Good-Bad, yeah? Although, the only reason this one is good at all, is because it's so far removed, seeing that it's been more than 20 years since this sap was oozed over the airwaves...

I guess this is the vintage equivalent of a t-shirt of Justin Beiber, Lady Gaga or something else equally cringe-worthy that has been all over lately... someone that seems to be everywhere you turn, but then all of a sudden one day, you're like - "Oh God, Ricky Martin, what happened to that guy?" "Hmmm... hope he saved his money."

Currently stinkin' up my eBay store - DICK MARX SOLD!

Miami Vice? Miami Nice.

This is brilliant!

Vintage sweatshirt, airbrushed with Mr. Don Johnson? Good. Aforementioned garment stretched like a canvas, framed and made into art? Great.

This would be good enough if it was Nash Bridges-era Don, but Miami Vice-era Don with cigarette?! Just check out the reflection of the ocean and speed boat in the glasses!

Now the downer... this baby is on the 'Bay right now... how many monies you ask? $5000. But wait! That might seem like, say, $4990 too much to you, as it did to me - but then I saw it... free UPS shipping. Boom.

Cartoon Bears Shouldn't Brag.

I don't like this.

I think it makes me uncomfortable thinking of who this was aimed at... it wasn't for the actual "Grunge" crowd, more like the NASCAR-Cap-and-sweatpants type of consumer. To me, it reeks like one of those "Dad's Lazy Sunday" or "Official Couch Potato" t-shirts that ended up at Marshall's by the boat load.

Either way, I don't like that bear's cocky demeanor.

Boot Scootin' Boogie? Yes, thank you.

I'm always tempted to bring these homemade beauties/atrocities home with me, but I never do.

I don't know if I like the time and effort (and love!) involved in making a "Homemade Ugly" or the thought of someone going out in public to say... cut-a-rug... in a line... in tight jeans.

Either way - I force myself to leave them on the rack, unsure of their true destiny. I take only a picture and their memory is enough.

Mission Statement.

I thought I would share some of the GOOD, the BAD and the UGLY of the t-shirt world that I come across, looking for the good to pass along at my eBay store - VULTURE VINTAGE

There are many GOOD-BAD t-shirts, way too many just plain BAD t-shirts, and a host of homemade UGLIES out there. I would like to share some of these that need to be seen, loved and possibly cringed at.

Thank you for your time and always feel free to pass along any T-SHIRT MONSTROSITY you may come across.
