Glee TV show Features Geek is the new Chic t-shirt!
The always fashionable and impeccably dressed Kurt Hummle, as played by Chris Colfer, was spotted in our Geek is the New Chic Guys T-shirt in Glee: Episode 3, Accafellas.
We are super psyched. Glee is one of the hottest shows on TV right now, and they're wearing Crooked Monkey t-shirts! Hip hip hooray!
Glee joins Weeds, Leverage, and "So you think you can dance" in the category of TV shows with awesome style. Eclipse, the third saga in the Twilight series, will be joining the category of Movies with the best style when Eclipse features our Sketched boombox t-shirt.
Big shout out to Cara, best former intern ever, for spotting this one. It wasn't an easy spot, as Kurt was wearing a blazer over our Geek is Chic t-shirt, but I guess we trained her well. She also is responsible for letting us know about Ryan Seacrest wearing our I'm not a gardener i just like hoes t-shirt. Three cheers for Cara. Well actually two cheers for Cara. She'll get a third cheer on her next spotting.
Our favorite fashion blogger, Makeda from the Glamazon Diaries, rocked out our t-shirt for the Best Dressed Madison of DC. Thanks for repping us. You make that shirt look good.
She's wearing an-out-of-print, limited edition King of Pop t-shirt.
In the last few days we've gotten some emails and Facebook messages of Crooked Monkey sightings throughout the New World .
From Rome (below) to Colombia (above), The monkey is spreading his.... love.
How do we get these pictures? Well the "I'd tap that" picture was found by a former Crooked Monkey intern, and current BBM acquaintance. She was perusing a friend of a friends pictures and found this t-shirt. At Crooked Monkey we call this research. In academic circles they call it Stalking.
Here's why: Last night I attended a fashion event in Washington DC for Luke's Wings. The event was fantastic and money was raised for a great cause. The location reminded me of our Warehouse Party.
Anyways, I was wearing the Tans&Hot Tubs& Fist Pumps& House Music& Blowouts& Hair Gel& Poofs V neck shirt. I've never been photographed so much before in my life. I felt like Paris Hilton. I empathize with her a little bit now. Paris, if your reading this, me and you, were not so different. Next time you're in DC, hit me up.
Crystal Harris, from the TV show Girls next door and Miss December 2009, was on E!News last night showing Ryan Seacrest what shirts she's going to buy her friends for Christmas. And guess what she found at Fred Segal Fun in Los Angeles?
Our Don't waste my daytime minutes t-shirt! Awesome. I DVRed the show and will post the video later (couldn't find it anywhere on the internet for some reason).
This slogan tee, or sayings t shirt, was also featured in Seventeen Magazine last year. Grab yours online--for you or your best friend: Don't waste my daytime minutes girls shirt
We did some research and here's what we found. Nathan Trasoras wore our Keyboard Graphic t-shirt on Season 6, Episode 7 of the So you Think you Can Dance TV show. He's on the show for a good part of it--from minute 3 until minute 4:45 and he wears the shirt well.
We're going to embed the YouTube video here for you to see the shirt in action, but chances are it might get taken down.
Our t-shirt on So you think you can dance (again!!)
We just got an email from a fan saying they saw one of our guys shirts on the TV show "So you think you can dance" last night. We're finding out more details--like which guy wore it, which t-shirt it was and whether or not he can do the moonwalk.
Maybe we should come out with a commercial, where Michael Jackson is trying, trying to dance. But he just can't get the rhythm, the timing, the moves right. He throws on one of our t-shirts, and bam, he's moon walking and side walking all over the Apollo theatre. How should this commerical end?
Today has been a good day. We found out that Twilight wants to put one of our t-shirts in their next movie, Eclipse (blog coming up), and we spotted one of our shirts on "So yo think you can dance" Season 6 Episode 1.Watch the episode below, from 4:17-4:24 there's 7 seconds of Brandon Dumlao gracefully dancing around the screen in one of our Crooked Monkey t-shirts. It's not yet online but we're real proud of Brandon for picking up our t-shirt and wearing it on National Television.
We've really appreciated all the love for our MJ shirts. It's meant a lot to us because of how meaningful these are to C monkey.
We've gotten a ton of emails and a good amount of bloggers writing about our Michael Jackson T-shirts.
I'm going to repost some of them here for you to see:
Jessica from Toronto wants us to sell to Toronto so she can pick up an MJ shirt: "I would love to be able to buy one of your MJ shirts if you did relocate to Toronto. Great site though, keep it up, loving the shirts!"
Bloggers:
-My favorite post came from Karen Watkins of the MoCoScene. She read our blog post, Mourning Michael and wrote: "Micha Weinblatt says in his company blog June 26, 'Since news broke of Michael's passing I have been teary eyed and at a loss for words.' But not for ideas. The master of the wicked double entendre quickly came up with four simple, hip T-shirts in homage to the great one - with V-necks, a first. Straightforward sentiment from Crooked Monkey, another first and an aesthetic winner." -Coty Gonzales did a top 10 of MJ shirts. Our I heart MJ shirt was # 1! Thanks.
-Northern Virginia Mag wrote: "You know I’m a huge fan of locally-based crookedmonkey.com" And added: "I couldn’t be happier to let you all know about Crooked Monkey’s new shirts designed in honor of the music legend who, according to Jessica Kades, has long served as an inspiration to the company."Dexie Wharton wrote that we were the first place she checked for MJ shirts. "They didn’t have them last week because as I found out yesterday from one the CM folks, they were making sure the shirts look perfect. I think you won’t be disappointed with what they came up with."
We met Greivis Vasquez last week at a business competition put on by the Dingman Center for Entrepreneurship and Kevin Plank, CEO of Under Armour. I'll tell you more about that competition when we get pictures (for now, i'll just have you know that Crooked Monkey received one of those big oversized Happy-Gilmore checks).
We gave Greivis one of our University of Maryland shirts--and he loved it so much he wore it the next day. Greivis, the star Point Guard on the Terrapins basketball team, probably gets a lot of free stuff--so we're honored that he loved our shirt enough to wear it!
Big shout out to The Scene Bisnow, a highly read daily email from the guys at Bisnow. They did a nice little write about us yesterday and we got a ton of emails and Facebook messages congratulating us. I wore our Life Comes at you fast t-shirt for the shoot, because I knew it'd be a fan favorite. And my hand is resting on our Don't be Trashy shirt.
Its always nice to get written up in the local Press.

As promised, here's the actual picture of the the Let me hear You say Yeah t-shirt spread in Seventeen Magazine. If you're thinking to yourself, is that Taylor Swift wearing a Crooked Monkey t-shirt? Then your inner most thoughts would be correct.
Nice work Seventeen. We'll keep on providing the awesome shirts, you keep on providing the awesome magazine.
Let me hear you say Yeah T-shirt featured in Seventeen Magazine
Seventeen Magazine, our favorite magazine ever, featured our Let me hear you say Yeah Girls t-shirt in their May issue--out in stands now. On the cover is Taylor Swift, the country/pop star phenom.

Best posts on his site: 1)LMAO please wear that on Idol tonight :) 2)OMG Awesome shirt Ryan. You should wear that on Idol. You need to be more casual. The suits are a little intimidating.
Ryan, that's awesome that you're wearing our Gardener shirt on your Radio show. We hope you wear the Gardener t-shirt on American Idol tonight.
Just so you all know, Ryan bought the I'm not a gardener shirt at a store (probably Urban Outfitters). He actually paid for it, which is much cooler than him getting the tee for free.
Cara, our former intern, found this one. NICE WORK CARA

Michelle, from our West Coast Showroom, was checking her daily Blog roll this morning and look what she found. Erol Sarabi rocking his I'm not a gardener I just like hoes t-shirt , hanging out with Rick Warren, the pastor whose giving the invocation at Obama's Inauguration.
They were spotted outside Out of the Closet thrift store in West Hollywood. Hopefully Rick trades in his tired button down for the Gardener t-shirt, and then wears it for the invocation.
This shirt is probably our most famous tee. It was on the TV show Weeds, Erol Sarabi, and I always see people walking around town wearing it. Just the other day, I was at a Wizards game and saw some dude wearing the Gardener tee.
Holly Huddleston from Sunset Tan Wears I am McLovin Funny T-shirt
Hey Hey.
We just got an email from Toni, Holly Huddleston's stylist. She caught Holly wearing our girls I am Mclovin T-shirt. That's awesome. We love Sunset Tan--and Holly's probably our favorite character. Our intern Jessica watches it on the reg. She tells me that they just opened up a Sunset Tan in Vegas--looks like we'll be checking that out next time we're in Vegas.
Hip Hip Hooray for Celebrities wearing our funny t-shirts.
