We've got a tradeshow in NYC this week. Actually I'm at it right now. We're showing our new line of Hoodies, Thermals and Pants. Pretty amazing that we've expanded into the realm of pants and hoodies. To think how far we've come in the world of funny t-shirts.

The reception has been well received and we'll be posting the Fall samples for everyone to see somewhat soon. We picked up a bunch of new stores, so look out for Crooked Monkey Funny t-shirts at a retailer near you.

Instead of putting up pictures of me and and the Donald getting bottle service at some trendy lounges in the Lower East Side, I decided to put picutres of me and former-Governor Spitzer riding around town looking for prostitutes--because even though I'm not a governor I still like the hoes.

Well actually I forgot my camera on that ride, so I'll just post some pictures of the new samples of our funny t-shirts, funny hoodies, and funny pants.

Crooked Monkey has modeling shoots all the time, and we produce some pretty sexy pictures like the one above. The photograph was taken by Richard Greenhouse, a famed Washington DC photographer, who does all the shots on our funny t-shirt website. You can check out our Gallery for more hot, steamy pictures.

But it's not everyday that I'm asked to be the model of a photoshoot. I was quite flattered and a little nervous for my first shoot--finally understanding what our models have to go through. Leading up to the shoot I kept to a strict diet of Pizza and Fruit by the Foot.

The shoot took place in NorthEast DC at what we thought was an abandoned warehouse. There was some real cool Graffiti art about the election that we spotted and Modern Luxury wanted to use it as a backdrop for the shoot--providing a nice urban feel to the sleek outfit the set me up with. The best thing about the shoot was I didn't have to dress myself--they had stylists taking care of my appearance. I only had to make sure that my mascara looked good and my hair was gelled. I rolled up to the shoot in jeans and a Crooked Monkey Funny t-shirt. They swapped that outfit out for a sharp looking Dolce Gabana suit. The photographer told me I was a natural born model and looked comfortable in front of the camera--I told him that I already had a girlfriend but was flattered nonetheless.

Anyways, about 45 minutes into the shoot we got shoed away by the owner of the warehouse who accused us of a lot things--not fit for publication--and threatened to bust a cap in our asses. Apparently you need a permit to look this good in front of a camera. It was kind of ridiculous. She looked like the cat lady from the Simpson--but instead of cats she traveled with Monty Burns' hounds. And off we went--but not without a number of fantastic pictures--probably the only pictures in circulation of me not wearing a funny t-shirt. We'll post the pictures as soon as we get them. You'll enjoy them.
