me and Jorge (8th grader on my block) are going to go into business. I was looking at hip hop Tshirts online, and he got all excited about the idea of making our own shirts. He has not stopped talking to me about it since Friday. Our flagship product is going to be a plain tshirt with Jesus on it wearing Loc sunglasses and a big shimmering medallion with the diamond-studded letters "NWN" (for Northwest Neighbors)
We will also have an athletic-style shirt with a big 05 in the middle, "Northwest Neighbors" on top and 'Crown City's Finest' on the bottom.
i think Jesus would be down.
Today I went back to work. I am sick of this rain.
That is cool! Is that why Jason, Juan & Arturo braved the fashion district on Monday to buy T-shirts?
ReplyDeleteThat is an interesting business plan, to market your own shit. Although I'm not sure demand will be very high, because people pretty much produce their own shit.
ReplyDeleteJust make sure Jesus looks Jewish. Perhaps one of those curly side burns. Or maybe a fro. I think Jesus would look good in a fro.
To beat the horse a while longer, even though it has been long dead...
ReplyDeleteRemarkably, there are people who extremely successfully market a bunch of shit and still make a lot of money doing so. In particular, the bullshit industry does really well in Iowa and other midwest states where people work really hard to spread a lot of shit around.
It is interesting, because maybe the market for shit has not been tapped in urban areas yet. You could be sitting on a gold mine! Although, maybe Masaki is right is saying that there is an over production of shit in the city already.
