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.

Let it Simmer: The Michael Jackson Story

If you needed any reminder of what made Michael Jackson, Michael Jackson, go watch "This is It." The movie, produced from raw footage of practices and rehearsals, sheds a rare glimpse on Michael's brilliance, strive for perfection, and love of his fans.

The movie created a world wide concert tour for Michael and a final curtain call. In it, we get to witness Michael's direction and ability to gently motivate people to join his level of performance.

When rehearsing for "The way you make me feel" he teaches his band how to build anticipation to a crescnedo. After a few trys, Michael pleads for them to "...let it simmer." And with those words Michael imparts pearls of wisdom--for the bandmembers and to us, the audience.
At the end of a long day of rehearsals, the whole team gathers around and Michael reminds everyone why they're practicing so hard: "To teach them [the fans] how to love again."

When MJ died I wrote: "He was planning a huge concert series in London. Turns out he was just practicing for his debut with God."

RIP Michael and thanks for the lessons.

Bruno: In or de Auschwitz


If you ever wanted to watch a gay porno, now's the time to do it. Bruno, one of the funnier movies i've seen, was uncomfortable at times, but hilarious the entire time.

His practical joke-style is reminiscent of Andy Kaufman humor. I would've liked the movie a lot more if he spent more time interviewing famous people and getting them to say outlandish/contradictory statements, than relying on such over-the-top penis humor.

Essentially, the movie relied on a penis cam--showing Bruno's penis at least once every 5 minutes. The TV show, which I think is much funnier, relied more on creativity and wit. His TV show faux-hawk and style is also more appropriate.

Nonetheless, Bruno the movie was hilarious in its own right. Only Sacha Baron Cohen can turn a gay porno into a hilarious 83 minute feature film.

Text message I received last night about our Funny t-shirts


"Yo, just saw a Crooked monkey funny t-shirt sighting at the movie."

Awesome. I'm looking into getting a phone number that anyone can text when they have t-shirt ideas, questions, comments, or funny t-shirt sightings.

If you know of anything let me know--and I'm not talking about those "Text 4655 so that we can spam you" numbers. I'm talking about a real phone number: "240-555-5679" that basically only receives text messages. Even better yet, if it turns it into an email and emails us.
