The title says it all. People.com's Stylewatch features our t-shirt website and specifically our Geek is the new chic t-shirt. We are offering the readers of People, and of our blog, a 20% discount on all our shirts. The promo code is: "People," and it expires on June 15th. So use it as many times as you'd like until then.

And don't forget that we always offer free USPS shipping when you buy 2 or more shirts. And our Girls recession t-shirts are up on the site.

The other week, the Bonobo Conservation Initiative contacted us to see if we were interested in helping them out. Of course we are! We love monkeys--even if I don't understand the difference between: monkeys and animals-that-look-like-monkeys but aren't classified as such.

We love helping out charities--especially monkey ones. We make t-shirts for a few reasons.
1)To clothe the naked.
2)To bring humor into this world.
3)To offend some uptight people sometimes.
4)To make enough money so that we can share it with others and make a difference in this world!

If you've got a charity that needs a Crooked Monkey gift certificate, let us know and we'll try to accommodate you.

Hello music lovers. My brother's favorite DJ David Guetta performed Sunday night at Fur Nightclub in DC. We went with a few friends and it was a fantastic night. He's a great performer. He debuted a song that Noam posted here 5 weeks ago called, "When love takes over." The place erupted. Nice work Noam.

This week's song is Black Eyed peas newest release, called "I got a feeling." It's produced by David Guetta, so it's got that electronic feel. Enjoy it.

Twitter has done well for us. We found out about Ryan Seacrest wearing our shirt, get to interact with our customers, and found out about Kitten Lounge. Its run by Cocoabebe, she's got a great twitter account--so follow her!

Anyways we sent her some shirts to review and she's going to post that review next week. In the meanwhile, just in time for Memorial Day Weekend, she added our t-shirts to her Summer guide. She's got some other cool products on there so check it out.

Have a good friday!

I'm back. It was a trip for the ages. A little bit of business a lot of pleasure.

First day, I got in and headed straight to a meeting with Jay from Kitson Men's. It's always good to check out that store for new trends and see how our shirts are selling. V necks, V necks and more V Necks. Thats what I saw. We'll be coming out with some of our very own V necks soon. After the meeting I met up with my friend David (he will be featured in this post quite prominently) and we went out to a bonfire on the beach. We raged til midnight which doesn't sound too late, but LA closes real early, and I woke up at 4 AM that day to catch my plane.Second day was full of meetings. Met up with our showroom, our newest designer, our production manager, our LA screen printer, and one of our biggest accounts. All the meetings went better than planned. We got the biggest orders ever from that retail store, and the rest of the meetings were fantastic. At the end of the day, we made some time for the required Baywatch photoshoot in Venice Beach (above).

That night was pretty fantastic too. David and I met up with Sasa--the guy who put the Maxim party together. We went to the STK steakhouse 1 year anniversary. For those of you who were following my updates on Twitter, you'd know that I ran into Kim Kardashian (great ass), David Spade (to whom I asked, "Do you know where the weight room is?"), and Courtney Cox (still looks good).

Next day I met with the guys over at the Ryan Seacrest Show. We sat down for lunch to plan the User Generated contest we'll be doing with the Ryan Seacrest show. Details to follow.

That night the Maxim Hot 100 party went down. Some of the most gorgeous women in the world descended unto the Santa Monica Airport Hanger. And Ari Gold (Jeremy Piven), two cell phones in hand, showed up. Open Bar, Terrell Owens, Popcorn, Heidi Montag, Ferris Wheel, bottles and models. Awesome awesome night. You should've been there.I'm wearing our Coke Healthier than Crack T-shirt.

Last Thanksgiving, we sponsored the Annual Paul Blank Invitational Flag Football Game which raises money for the Foundation for Fighting Blindness and the Association for Safe International Road Travel.

As a sponsor of the game, and an alumn of the Charles E Smith Jewish Day School, I was invited to play in this year's epic match. We handed out the shirts to start the Battle Royale and the players were impressed with the quality of the shirts--only to be outshined by the quality of play by the gold team. A little tidbit of history: I was the captain of the Gold team for JDS in 11th Grade.

The pictures below reflect the intensity of the game and the skills needed to compete in this annual gridiron. Here, Elliot Totah shows off his lightning speed and cat like reflexes. The blue team mustering up some much needed Ruach for the second half.
And Dan Fulop showing off the monkey on his back:

This is an awesome song for three reasons: 1)Akon is in it. 2)Michael Jackson is in it. 3)Both Akon and Michael are in it together. Enjoy "Hold my Hand" by Akon, Ft. Michael Jackson.

We finally have the audio clip from the Ryan Seacrest show. And we finally made our first Crooked Monkey YouTube video. It took us a little bit of time--we wanted to make sure YouTube was a safe place and that it was here to stay. Next we'll launch a "website." (Just kidding we already have one).

Anyways, Manny from the On Air show with Ryan Seacrest talks about our Thats How I roll t-shirt and our I recycle boys t-shirt. This was aired on April 23rd on Kiss FM in LA. Pretty cool, hunh? Those lucky winners got free Crooked Monkey t-shirts. We'll be coming out with a bunch of new YouTube videos this summer. Kind of funny that it took us 3 years until we uploaded our first video.

This week's song is in honor of Mother's Day. The name of the song "Lost", is how we would be without our mothers. So go call them and thank them for carrying you around for 9 months--sacrificing alcohol, Tuna, and trampolines. And then thank them for looking after you when you didn't even know how to walk.

My friend told me on Thursday that he got me a ticket for Wednesday night's Maxim Hot 100 party. I was supposed to go to LA at the end of the month, but changed my flight and rearranged my meetings so I could be in LA for the party. This party is going to be off the charts. They cast 500 models and apparently there's a Ferris wheel somewhere in the mix.

But my trip will not be all fun 'n games. I also plan to have some meetings.

People/Things I plan to have meetings with:
The showroom
One of our designers
Manhattan Beach
Our Production manager in LA
The models we pick up at the party
Our screen printing facility in LA
Some retail spots, like Kitson and ShopIntuition.com

I'll let you all know how the party is. If you've got something to say to Bar Rafeli, let me know. I'll whisper it to her in Hebrew.
