Johnny Cupcakes’ “There’s Something in the Cupcake Mix” Third Series

· Comment

Though quite new in Los Ange­les, Johnny Cup­cakes (JC) have been well known and received way before open­ing their first ever store in Boston. Any­ways, to keep things short (since peo­ple are already in line), JC is hav­ing a third series release of its very lim­ited col­lec­tion, “There’s Some­thing in the Cup­cake Mix” The release “con­sists of 4 extremely lim­ited, exclu­sive t-shirts that are released once a year, dur­ing the Hal­loween sea­son. This year they will even be more scarce due to the split­ting between both loca­tions, Boston and LA.”

A few new details about series #3:

  • Designs have been turned up a notch + bring­ing some ghoul­ish, famil­iar faces to the kitchen table.
  • Bet­ter box design + construction.
  • More hid­den gems.
  • These will NOT be avail­able online, only in Boston + LA.
  • 4 designs. 1 col­or­way of each. 150 total of each. Split between both Boston + LA = 75 pieces per design. Split between sizes and gen­ders = only a hand­ful to a dozen of each size, per gen­der, per design.
  • Every t-shirt will have a silk screened num­ber on the back, to guar­an­tee authenticity.
  • Each box will be hand numbered.
  • Each box will be equipped with dif­fer­ent hid­den trivia per­tain­ing to the lim­ited mon­ster inside.
  • A vanilla frost­ing scented scratch ‘n’ sniff sticker will be on top of each box.
  • When open­ing up your sealed box, you will have to dust real sprin­kles off of your sealed t-shirt.
  • We are encour­ag­ing every cus­tomer to DRESS UP in your best costumes.
  • Real cup­cakes, bev­er­ages and some pizza pizza will be given out the night of.
  • A spe­cial lim­ited, dated shirt will be given out to the first 100 or so customers.
  • Pho­tos + video webisodes will be taken at both releases.
  • All of this and more for $75 per col­lectible product.
  • These will sell out. We encour­age you to arrive early (like now!)

For those who are new and would like to expe­ri­ence the com­mo­tion and jour­ney, here are the release time and locations:

  • Fri­day, Octo­ber 17th, 9pm East­ern
    @ 279 New­bury Street

Brand New Okayplayer T-Shirts for Fall 2008

· Comment

Sick nasty. I think I might grab Questlove’s DOPE tee (as seen above). There’s plenty of designs to go around, but just don’t know in terms of how much they pressed for this line. Some shirts are on pre­sale and are either ship­ping this week, or in 2-weeks (week of Oct. 27th). Any­ways, check them out at store.okayplayer.com

Here’s a cou­ple more that I liked from the line:
