Happy Halloween! Say, Could You Show Us Your Tees?

Thursday, October 30th, 2008

From all of us here at Found Item Clothing, we wish you a ghoulish Halloween. As always, we urge you to imbibe, consume, inhale, snort and sniff responsibly. Remember, it’s all fun and games until someone gets hurt or does something boneheaded…

Before I sign off, it has come to my attention that many of you are purchasing our shirts and slippers for your respective Halloween get-ups (perhaps you were inspired by our Costume Guide?). We want proof and we want it now. Direct e-correspondence to my inbox: travis@founditemclothing.com

The best of the bunch will be spread across this space in the near future, which will make you the envy of both your friends and enemies. We may, and I stress the conditional element of this statement, even award a free t-shirt of your choice — (!) — if you submit photographic evidence of a particularly inspired costume incorporating one of our stylish garments…

The gauntlet, dear readers, has been officially thrown down.

Newest Watchmen Trailer Is Boss

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008

OMG!!! March 6, 2009 can’t come fast enough…

To the delight of comic book geeks everywhere, the newest Watchmen trailer was unveiled this month at the Spike TV Scream Awards. Though some of the footage overlaps with the first trailer that was attached earlier this summer to The Dark Knight, there are some new, previously unseen money shots that will draw in both longtime diehards and new fans alike.

For those that don’t know, Watchmen promises to be the sci-fi/comic book/action movie event of next year. Based on the legendary graphic novel of the same name, the film is being directed by Zack Zynder, who is best known as the visionary responsible for well-received eye candy like 2006’s 300 and prior to that, the 2004 remake of the Dawn of the Dead.

Meet the newest member of the Found Item Family, Roky Erickson Mabry Nydahl, witnessed here snacking on the inventory at HQ.

If you take a gander at Youtube, you’ll see that this type of canine behavior is hardly unusual.

When I saw this clip for the first time the other day, I nearly doubled over in laughter (let’s just say that I am easily amused…).

Halloween: Not Just For Humans

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008

Halloween, as I’m sure most of you are well aware, is just around the corner, which means that the procrastinators amongst us are scrambling to piece together creative and original costumes whatever is handy.

(Need some last-minute inspiration? Check out the 3rd annual FIC Halloween Costume Guide, complete with three new entries for 2008!)

For truly motivated individuals, however, it is not enough to simply mask their own appearance. No, they must also doll up their…pets.
