Indie Tykes Don Sonic Youth, D.O.A. and Pansy Division Shirts
Baby Wit, the largest online retailer of funny infant and toddler t-shirts now offers Sonic Youth, D.O.A., Pansy Division and Steven Weissman exclusively on their shirts.
(PRWEB) October 19, 2004 -- Dont think your childs going to make it as a soprano? Are the screams emanating from her mouth better suited to an underground bar than a municipal concert hall? Its time that you faced up to the facts--youve got a punk rock singer at home, not an opera star.
Babywit.com has the perfect tees for little punks. This fall, theyre introducing baby and toddler-sized T-shirts featuring the indie/punk bands Sonic Youth, D.O.A, and Pansy Division. And yes, the shirts can be ordered in black.
Baby Wit is also expanding their artist line. Comic book genius Steven Weissman has given them rights to put his twisted tykes on baby tees. Weissmans Kid Medusa, Dead Boy, Sweet Chubby Cheeks, and Li'l Bloody are so much cuter than teddy bears.
Baby Wits overworked one-person creative staff has added to their other sections as well. My Shovel is Bigger than Your Shovel," Little Shiva, The Destroyer," Skate or Die," and Binky, Boobie, or Blankie: Nobody Rides for Free" are some of this autumn additions. The sayings all have humorous graphics to match.
Baby Wit's owner, Andrea Frost, has moved the company in a slightly new direction to focus more on alternative bands and artists. With a hard-core liberal feminist leaning the site garners a lot of criticism evidenced under the Fan Mail section. Frost talks about her new shirt 'They are raising me Gay'. "I expect a lot of flack for the new shirt from those who are for Prop 36 here in Oregon but part of the point of running your own business is to be able to express your opinion. I am so tired of parents who won't let their boys play with dolls or wear the color pink. This is my way of expressing my frustration with such obstinate thought processes and still retain my sense of humor."
Babywit.com has the largest selection of infant and toddler T-shirts on the Web. Their shirts are manufactured in the U.S. and the designs are hand-pressed in-house using 70s-style iron-on transfers. The tees feature retro illustrations, pop-culture icons, political satire, and band logos. They range in price from $17-24. Shirts may be purchased on the Web or at select retail outlets.
Baby Wit LLC is a small, Portland, Oregon-based company. The company supports a number of artists and non-profit organizations. They proudly pay their taxes, and despite the ill-advised humor, are generally nice people. For more information visit www.babywit.com or e-mail info@babywit.com.
