I am not a huge fan of the message tee. My boobs attract enough attention without people reading them. But there’s a subsection of the message tee that I can’t stand. Second-hand embarrassing on teenagers, inexcusable on adults, they send a message that is the opposite of intended. Your tee may say “I’m Awesome”, but usually, you’re anything but. Today, I’ll translate what I think these shirts are actually saying.
1. “I have a boyfriend. I’m not a loser after all.”
2. “I am insecure about my relationship, clingy, and slightly stalker-ish.”
(This tee is the sartorial equivalent to a giant neck hickey–tacky, unnecessary, and cringe-worthy.)
“I’m unpopular and have the emotional maturity of a 12-year-old.”
1. “I’m a slut.”
2. “I’m not a slut but I want people to think I could be a slut.”
3. “…And now he’ll probably cheat on me, too.”
“Relationship me up NOW.”
“I’m a sad cat lady.”
“That’s a command.”
At least the last one’s honest.
Until next Friday–be careful what your boobs are saying.
what about my sweat shirt with the lace doily collar and bejeweled puppies prancing around a rainbow… what does that say?
It says “You should call me. Nana misses you!”
Well there goes my wardrobe! Now what will I wear? I like the occasional tongue-in-cheek t-shirt, but these are just sad.
erm…i have a shirt very similar to the nerdy chicks one.

feel free to shun me.
There will be no shunning! I love you just the way you are.
