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.

I just had a lunch meeting with the sales reps over at Hot 995 and DC101. They took me out to lunch to discuss advertising on their websites and radio stations. As you probably know we don't advertise too much on the internet but that could all change pretty soon. They've got some pretty sleek opportunities that were looking into to drive more traffic to our funny t-shirt site. We'll let you know about this as we proceed.

In other news, we just got a letter from some shady ass store that found a way to skip out of 2.5 million in debt--more details to follow.

Crooked Monkey's teaming up with thezoi.com, the College Greek telephone directory. I met the founder and his team last year in Los Angeles. It was a good time and we talked about teaming up, because we both have the same audience.

After a year of preperation we're going to be doing some cool cross promotions. The first thing we'll be embarking on is advertising on his site.

Luckily, we had that hot steamy photoshoot over the summer. Bottles, Models, and wet t-shirts. Here's our first ad for thezoi.com, and it's really our first banner ad ever. I'm quite proud of it. Shout outs to Richard Greenhouse (the photographer), the one and only Laura (our longest standing model), and Kelly (the designer who brought it all together).

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.

As we mentioned before we had a photo shoot yesterday, and it really was gettin' hot out there. Aside from the 90+ degree weather, our models made it hotter.

We started out the day modeling our new Crooked Monkey funny t-shirt material for our awesome photographer. You can look forward to seeing some new funny t-shirts, thermals for guys, thermal hoodies and jumpsuits for girls. The models all looked great and the photographer even said that, "This is the first time I have had to worry more about the funny t-shirts than the models."
Then we took the shoot to our intern Danielle's house where the models got hot, wet and decided to take their clothes off, after a few rounds of beer pong (or beirut for you Yankees), and poppin' some bottles of the "Goose" and some Belvedere (because that's just how we roll). Our models got loosened up and had no problem taking it off.

Wanted to let you know whats happening here at Crooked Monkey. We just came out with a whole bunch of new funny t-shirts, hoodies, thermal hoodies and pants for the Fall (we'll blog about that later). And what happens when we come out with a whole new season of clothes? We do a photoshoot!

And what happens when we get a bunch of gorgeous people in a studio wearing Crooked Monkey funny t-shirts? An orgy, you say? We're not planning on it, but if it happens spontaneously we won't stop anybody. Because as you know wearing Crooked Monkey's Awesome tees tends to cause strong attraction by the opposite sex.

Last time we did a photoshoot we produced such awesome pictures as: naked girl behind a hanging t-shirt, which can be found in our Modeling gallery. This shoot will be no different as we'll be coming up with creative ways to exhibit our t-shirts. I don't want to promise anything but we've got trampolines, hot tubs, and convertibles. You do the math.

We'll also be producing our first ever Crooked Monkey YouTube production featuring our models.

Wow this was a fun blog post. If you've got any ideas for the photoshoot, comment below.
