Wow, this thread is getting all hot and bothered! I like it.

I also noticed AP's handsome boots in his picture immediately. Stylish nerds of the world, unite....

Awesome pic, alexander.

And it reminds me, my child had a visit to his school today by a dentist who taught them about tooth care. Each child received a goody bag to take home, one of the items in the bag is a pair of rubber gloves that have the taste and strong scent of grape....it's a little disturbing.

Alexander may be a newby in the forums, but he's no newby to Archinect. He usually hangs out here at the Archinect HQ, behind the virtual curtain... and he's personally handled every one of your Archinect t-shirts (hence the penchant for rubber gloves I guess).

Paul, let's see Ella in her T!! (It's Ella, right?)

Nov 14, 06 9:22 pm  ·

Uh, now that Paul has unvailed my secret identity...hello everyone! I handled all your fabulous Archinect t-shirts, hence the rubber gloves (you can only guess it, but the gloves are actually full to the brim with heavy duty train oil hand lotion after folding..uh..800 shirts). The picture was taken in that small, tiled, dark closet where Paul locks me in every morning to process new t-shirt orders. He lets me out for lunch though. Sometimes. He's a funny guy.

No actual whales were harmed for the train oil - Archinect uses 100% synthetic train oil hand lotion and remains wildlife friendly. All shirts are 100% DOLPHIN FREE!

sorry to interrupt the moment of sweetness here, but a question for paul...

... what about those people that saw the t-shirt email and said, 'oh, i'm not sure which one to buy... i'll do it over the weekend', and then forgot, and then suddenly, all the small ladies arch sucks t-shirts were gone! gone!

obviously these people are sad, sad human beings that should have gotten their sh!t together, etc. but somebody should ask the question, er, for them.

so are there more ladies t-shirts coming anytime soon? pretty please? and, although i don't have kids, a kids t sounds like a great xmas gift btw. maybe you should unlock alexander and get him on that.

beautiful beautiful child.

...
thanks for clearing all that up alexander. after reading Paul's comment re: shirt folding/stuffing I became mildly concerned about his labor practices. good to hear that everything's on the up and up over there at extrasmalltiledcloset inc.





man that kid is cute!

I had the same question! Seems as though Archinect is sold out of the heather gray and black "architecture sucks" men's and women's t-shirts – will you be getting more?

Wow, that is a gorgeous, adorable child. And I don't even really like babies that much (maternal thing hasn't kicked in yet).

Welcome to Alexander! Please see me if you are interested in some daylighting, radiant floor heating, or other sustainable design options for your closet.

Also I think Alexander flexed his Photoshop muscles a bit there, which I think everyone else seems to be using on the Garwondler. G-Ler has its (her? his?) own MySpace page now too, BTW.

Nov 15, 06 12:38 am  ·

thanks for the kind words ;)

re: more shirts - unfortunately the multi-colored "architecture sucks" shirts were always intended to be only available in limited numbers, with no plans for re-prints. we will continue releasing more designs, however, in women's sizes as well. we obviously have a lot of (very cute) female customers.

re: alexander - yeah, he has big photoshop muscles. that's why i imported him from germany. he does handle the t-shirts, but he spends most of his time kicking ass on the computer.

Word up, Fro! Mo' pics, pleaze! Cool image by the way - I love the colors.

Thanks for the flowers, Paul! Well, what can I say - I'm learning from the best, huh? Paul is so nice: He actually himself laid the dark brown tiles in my little shipping box that he imported me in from across the ocean and turned it into the cozy Archinect t-shirt closet that I love to call my cage..er...home. ;-)

Hey WonderK, I may need some design options! Daylight sounds fascinating!! And a tank for all the tuna.

The girl-T's do run small, stephanie, as was alluded to elsewhere.

FRO, that picture rocks. So, so cool.

And in all seriousness, Susan, your pink picture above is amazing. Sexy and smart and perfectly composed. Gorgeous.

I think the shirts should cost £€$$

30 bucks a pop +s/h for a seemingly anti-consumerist t-shirt is a little too much.

Nov 15, 06 4:20 pm  ·

But melquiades if you average out the cost of the T-shirt against the entertainment value of Archinect I think you're paying a pittance.

If I put on my garpike hat for a minute, at 400 comments plus 35 posts over $30 you're at less than 7 cents per entry, and that doesn't even count how much you've learned from everyone else's contributions! That Tshirt is practically free!

i just bought 2! each a different size and color. this way i am safe. i figure i can either re-sell or have a "sexy" and a"casual" tee.
can. not. wait.

Yeah, Susan's pink shot is really splendiferous! May we expect another grand photographic composition in black and gold with your new black le$$ shirt, Susan?? Pleaaaase!

Stephanie: Good pick! You just entirely sold out girl's lime and eggplant! Try to wear them both in your picture...ha ha.

ooh! i hadn't thought of that! it is double t-shirt time of year for me.

Susan...love the image above. wasn't it a different image for the first day or so? did you update it or something? this one's got more personality, but the previous version was super elegante.

I need a lesson from all of you in the art of taking a casually cool photo. My strategy has been either: big earnest smile or ... hide behind balloons.

Hee hee. Alexander, I hope you put some extra love into packing my shirt. I'll post a LE$$ photo too, I guess. If it comes on a serendipitous day (as in, before Sunday), perhaps I can elevate it to a studio shoot!

$30 buck is nothing for a limited item trend setting fashion statement - all made without any sweatshop labor in downtown LA (or are we missing somethign Alexander??)

Glad to meet the man behind the closet door at archinect central- we all owe paul a big thanks for allowing us archidork to have a digital social life- so:

thank you paul!

and keep up the elleaopard images flowing- we need more cuteness in our big ugly world...
