Willowtree is this week’s host for Fun Monday, and while that could leave you shivering in your shoes, he
came up with a delightfully novel idea. Straight from the horse’s Aussie’s mouth blog:
This week’s Fun Monday is being hosted by WT, he wants to see
some clothing art. That’s tee shirts, baseball caps, hoodies, sports
uniforms or any bit of clothing that you or your kids own that has
interesting, funny or artistic graphics.
I sure was glad he suggested this because I already had several photos of my favorite artsy tees. Plus, what a fun idea (which is the idea behind "Fun Monday"); the clothing a person wears sure does tell a lot about them. Take me, for instance–
You might learn my life philosophy:
Or that I’m a HUGE Audrey Hepburn fan:
Apparently, I think that includes cheesy camera poses and using rolling pins for a) isometric exercise and/or b) to creep out my daughter (regular readers will recognize the pictures, although they were rejections from this Fun Monday and this hair-brained post).
I’m wearing one of my favorites while I write this…I stopped long enough to take a picture of it (who couldn’t love hearts AND tie dye?):
If you’re ever in Chattanooga, you’ve just gotta stop at Clumpies for ice cream–it’s locally made and a favorite summer destination of ours. Heck, temperature doesn’t matter, winter is just fine, too.
This next tee shirt is rather controversial. It’s one of my favorites ’cause we love eleventyseven (one of our friends is their manager 🙂 ), and until someone pointed it out to me, I NEVER noticed it looked like a cheerleader’s LEGS were blown off with dynamite…I just thought they were tired of drawing her legs….
Last, are some tee shirts I DIDN’T buy on our trip out West this summer, but they sure gave me reason to smile.
Revised: It occurred to me after reading Hootin’ Anni’s comment, I’M CHEAP! Ever a bargain shopper, NONE of these shirts were over $15 :). The top three are from Target, the tie-dye from T.J. Maxx.
It’s never too late to jump on the Fun Monday bandwagon. Click over to Willowtree’s and he’ll be happy to add you to this week’s list :).
I like the shirt you’re wearing today. I Love tie dye – not that I have seen much of it around since… oh, the 70’s?
Are you sayin’ I’m old as DIRT???? 😉
Robin,
You have shown us a very colorful collection of shirts. I like the tie-dye heart shirt the best, but all of the shirts seem like you a fun-loving person. And this is Fun Monday; some of us funsters just like to start early…on Sunday.
Cool, I love pink! I especially love the tie-dye heart. 🙂
CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT –
Of course I love the A.H. shirt!
Dang, you are fun! Great Te Dye!
The problem with using the rolling pin for exercise is that I end up making pie. It kind of works like that carbon offset business I keep hearing about. I burn so many calories by using the rolling pin…and then offset what I’ve burned by eating more.
Love your shirts. Too bad you didn’t buy the ones in Wyoming.

ps. “this hair=brained post” is a strange link.
I *love* your Audrey tee’s! And your heart/tie dye, is something you would find around here:o) I have a few my self:o)
Audrey Hepburn….yes indeed! Doe this come in my size? Did you not mention, I’m a bargain shopper,—-so is in on sale? [just kidding] I’m enjoying this Fun Monday, it’s like a shopping spree to me. Choosing this, choosing that.
Thanks for informing me of my error today. *geez* I can blame it on being Monday I guess.
Much appreciated.
love the hearts tee shirt, and the designated driver tee shirt is just great
I just LOVE your heart shirt! Did you make that? I also like the Tees about being Naked! ROFL!
Great tie-dyed heart! Also loved the designated driver!
I have one of those AH tees!! I get compliments on it all the time!!
I love your Audrey Hepburn t-shirt – I want one! You should so have bought those t-shirts from the west.
i love the designated driver shirt! so cute!
LOL! I am wearing the Audrey Hepburn tee right now! (Target?)
I own a “Barbecue Naked 69” t-shirt from Memphis. I don’t wear it out of the house very often, but when I do it always makes someone laugh.
My hubby would live in tye dye if I’d let him, though his isn’t quite as tasteful as yours! Great shirts. Next time we are in Chattanooga at we’ll have to try the ice cream place. It’s about time for a visit to the aquarium….
Molly, among other things, I suppose my tees DO say I’m “fun-lovin'” :). Yep, that Sunday start (when I can get it together sure does help when Monday rolls around!).
Chaotic Lisa, I DON’T love pink, but these shirts are an exception :).
Karmyn, check online at Target; you might still be able to get one or the other (or both!). Yep, I knew you liked it :).
Beckie, that’s my middle name 😉 (of course, it isn’t, but for some reason, that came to mind when I read your comment:) ).
Pamela, thanks for the head’s up on my “missing (messed up) link”. And I LIKE your “theory”…..
Mommy in Ca, Hmmmm, so you’re telling me “good taste” has no bounds?? Cool!
Hootin’ Anni, Why, my dear, it was from Target, I think it was $10 (I’m sure it was less than $15). As I told Karmyn, you might be able to buy them online at Tarjay :). Good luck!
Her Indoors, a different take on a DD, huh?
Katie, I’m often asked if I made that shirt IRL when I wear it. The answer is “No, but if I could, I’d make a dozen more in different color schemes!”.
Sandy, I suppose the heart tie dye is my artiest….
Claudia, that doesn’t surprise me…we’re AH Tee sistahs!! 🙂
Alix, see my comments to Karmyn and Hootin’ Anni :).
Jill, thanks!
Lisa, yep :). TEE SHIRT JINX!! You owe me a Coke!
Ummm, Nikki….can you explain that one a little more??? I guess it’s pretty funny without an explanation, though–definitely a conversation starter!
Blue Momma, where do you live? You’re close enough for a Chatty visit? Cool! (I’m trying to imagine my husband in tie-dye…anyone who knows him would crack up at the thought! Ha!)
Love the Hepburn tee. I have a James Dean one on my post today. Something about the old movie stars!
I’ve almost bought that “Hike Naked” shirt several times, but I don’t think I’d have the guts to actually wear it in public. I wouldn’t buy the “Fish Naked” shirt because I don’t fish and I, um, don’t have a “fly rod”. :oD
I love all of your shirts, but the hike and fish naked are my favorites. 😀
I love that heart shirt. I NEED one just like it! 😀
LOVE the hearts and tie dyed shirt. Gorgeous!!
Great philosophy and who doesn’t admire AH. The last ones had me laughing~ great collection.
What great shots – I have so much fun reading your blog. Happy Fun Monday!
Robin of mytwoblessings
(p.s. – mine is up now. My hubby thinks this whole blog thing is weird so I had to wait until he was in the shower to take my pictures of shirts. LOL! As swiper the fox from Dora the explorer says “sneaky, sneaky”
Ooo, a Hepburn fan. I was just watching My Fair Lady Saturday night.
I love your tie dye!
Love the Audrey Hepburn shirts! My daughter and I are fans. My mom’s name is Audrey.
Karina, they don’t make ’em like that anymore, huh?
Jenni, they have surgery to correct “that”, ya know (ick!!!!)
Debs, lol, the ones I DON’T own (hehe).
Susan, it’s about four years old…good luck :/ :).
Thanks, Joy…Thanks, Chris:).
Robin, why thank you, sweets (you sneaky girl, you:) ).
AFF, She was FABULOUS in that ** sigh **.
Junebug, it’s a small (blog)world, after all :).
Nice colorful shirts.
Too fun!!! I have my old tie-dyed shirt stuffed away somewhere in a drawer. Can’t bear to give it up.
For some reason, I like type on anything–but I won’t wear a logo T-shirt! For several years I had pillows in my living room that bore French phrases. (My French country decorating phase.)
Love the shot with the rolling pins! (((Hugs)))
I love the tye dyed shirts, very up my alley.
And as for the rolling pin, It looks much safer than the big knife I usually wave around. It tends to scare people out of my kitchen though, that’ll learn ’em.
I like the one with the dog driving the horse, lol!
I’ve never heard of eleventy seven, but I’m a huge fan of seven eleven.
Boy, I’ll tell ya, this is NOT a good Fun Monday for a dial up connection! I think I’ll give up now.
The tie dye heart shirt is very cool!
Robocop, can’t argue with that!
E-mom, I’m trying to picture you in tie-dye (heck, I’m trying to picture you in ANYTHING!).
Karisma, heck yeah, show ’em who’s boss of YOUR kitchen, by golly!
Willowtree, does somebody need a {{hug}}? Wanna know something wild? I thought of YOU when I saw that shirt….really!
My4Kids, apparently, it’s the most “appreciated” photo of this post ;).
I love your shirts! I heart Tie-dye!! Love me some punk rock! you are such a cutie!
Oh I have it fixed now!
Big Hepburn fan here, so that was my favorite.
Sure glad you’re still on Monday – I just posted mine and as I check out the links I’m finding lots of folks have already moved on!
the blown-off cheerleader legs made me laugh out loud.
now that you’ve found your way to three dog blog, don’t forget to come back some time!
First time visiting you. It’s fun here! Can I visit again?
Can you believe I’m just getting started reading the Monday posts. My clients were trying to kill me with work yesterday!
I always liked tie dye because they remind me of PEACE, LOVE and ROCK N ROLL, but I never thought of it as sexy…you took care of that!
I’ve just put Jackson Hole on my list of places to visit…. thanks.
Tie dye is back in. I think it looks great. You have a wonderful selection of artsy shirts. Your hair looks great out of the braids too. A fun post.
fun shirts – and fun photos! (much more interesting than my tee-on-the-ottoman shots. hehe.)
Love all the pix! It’s fun to see your energetic personality captured and shared with readers!
And your quirky sense of humor…and fun style…
Weird…VERY weird…I could’ve sworn I replied to these earlier (queue the Twilight Zone musak…). Here we go again (I hope, anyway):
Kaytabug, whooosh! I feel a nice cool breeze blowin’ up my skirt!! 🙂 Thanks!
Hayden, for me, Fun Monday sometimes lasts all week long :/.
Laurie, LOL? My work here is DONE!
Rain, you are the first person EVAH to ask for permission. Please, shop again, shop often :).
Min, so what you’re saying is I’m HOT as long as my head’s chopped off?? (I SWEAR I typed this earlier today).
Peter, I’m sure their Chamber of Commerce thanks me :).
Dawn, gee, thank you times four! 🙂
Gee, Ann…you don’t pop in often, but when you do? You make it count! Thanks! 🙂
wow…you sure do alot of stuff naked…nothing wrong with that…but my favorite is clumpies…i don’t really think of ice cream though
You have a lot of “FUN” shirts. Well…it looks like you are having fun in them 🙂
Great collection.
I LOVE the fly fishing shirt! My husband SO needs that one. And if my kid saw the cheerleader shirt? She’d totally want it BECAUSE her legs had been blown off. Go figure.
