Wintertime People Watching & T Shirt Watching!!!!

Everybody knows that during wintertime, the place to debut your cool new t shirts is at the gym. That is especially true in a cold climate like New York City, where I've spent most of my life. From December through March everybody is bundled up with a thousand layers and the subway looks like a refugee waystation, or a North Korean bomb shelter. The people you see may have the most fun t shirt in the world with the catchiest slogan underneath their North Face coat, but you'll never know it unless you have X-ray vision.

So the place to see what's going on in the t shirt world (other than the internet, of course) is at the gym, where the cosmopolitan Eskimos finally shed some layers... and a little blubber in the process. I like to see what fun and cool t shirts people are wearing, as it's like a living, breathing art form, and seeing fun shirts spurs my own ideas for t shirt designs. Whether you choose to wear a subtle message t shirt like one I saw recently with a pic of the recycling logo (guess you don't want to be thrown out in the trash?), or t shirts with sayings like the one proclaiming "I'm All Natural"-- that one really suffers from a lack of imagination. Yay, you don't take steroids and have no breast implants, Mr.!-- it really says a lot about who you are. If you want people staring at your chest, and don’t feel like running outside in the bitter cold to go shopping, you probably should check out some fun t shirts online at Big Concept Designs.
