more stuff at HT

Another problem with Hot Topic... they focused WAY TOO MUCH on clothing for girls, while males like me got the short end of the stick when it came to this clothing line.

I disliked that, too. It might be better that someone else is going to be offering Foster's apparel, as long as there's something for the dudes -- and that they don't focus too much on just Cheese.

I actually thought that Hot Topic was doing a bit better throughout the summer. They were bold enough to take a few steps away from the Bloo-Cheese-Eduardo furor which had pretty much dominated the earlier stuff and to try a few new things, devoting at least one shirt each to Wilt, Coco, and even relatively minor characters like Berry and Bendy (though they were still pretty reluctant to give any of the human characters the spotlight). We did see a couple of shirts which were suitable for the guys to wear, even if they were never much of a scratch upon the vast range of skinny fit designs available for us lasses. It's only in recent months that they seem to have regressed into doing absolutely nothing but Cheese - even their earlier favourites Bloo and Eduardo started to come out a bit short in the process. True, Bloo's face still found its way onto a lot of stuff, but chiefly as Cheese's marketting sidekick. I can only imagine how degrading Blooregard Q. Kazoo would find such a prospect.

Case in point: the new "Imaginary Friends are Forever" shirt, while a nice enough design, really does strike me as being better suited for Bloo and Mac than for Bloo and Cheese. But that's just my opinion.

It isn't just your opinion, but mine, also. If the reason for discontinuing the merchandise isn't because of other companies to license FHFIF merchandise, then I think it could be the over-saturation of Bloo Cheese (especially Cheese) merchandise. I look forward to seeing what's being offered from other retailers in the future.

I wandered into an HT today...I was too poor to buy the new Darkwing t-shirt, but I got the last Wilt shirt on deep discount ($2!). My sewing machine is broken but I'm thinking of cutting the designs out maybe and stitching them to a white men's t-shirt. Oh and look what else they finally started carrying:



Yay!

Dang...but I already ordered the Wilt wristband...(The OTHER one, lol)

Aw, stab and twist. *Mimicis stabbing self and twisting knife* I wish I had access to a HT. That or a credit card or somethin'...

You must not have yet mastered the fine and ancient art of BEGGING! That usually works with parents, eventually.

I guess I've got to get to HT now, since I've been trying to find a REAL Wilt wristband since I started watching the show. Now, if someone out there would start selling The Socks, I'd be quite pleased, since I've already got the black high-top Converse Chuck Taylor All-Stars.
