I want people 2 know which cities I HEART. When I say that I HEART (<3) something, it means that I am cobranding myself with this city. Every city has a unique Way of Life (unless u live in suburbia), so it is important 2 wear t-shirts that remind people ‘I chilled in this city and had an authentic experience.’
Cities that I would consider <3ing:
- New York
- Paris
- Los Angeles
- Brooklyn
- Portland
- Austin
- Seattle
- Chicago
- Manhattan
- The Netherlands
- London
- New Jersey
- Scandinavia
- Queens Blvd.
- Death Cab City
- New Orleans
- The Magic Kingdom
- The Carolinas
- B-more
- Shit City
- San Diego
- Crappy suburbs in California where pokemones live
- Sydney
- An alt AZN city
- The Tokyo Police Clubs
Instead of <3ing a city, I might ‘pull a photoshop’ on my shirt, and tell the world that I <3 something that is more meaningful than ‘just a city.’ I will make a tribute shirt.
I <3 my mom. (She just added funds to my bank account + replaced my iPhone).
But maybe I had a bad childhood. And I resent my parents.
I might consider <3ing a figure who represents an idea/aesthetic, kinda like a Hollywood Actor.
Should I just make a Good Will Hunting/Dogma t-shirt?
[lookbook photography]
If u were gonna make a homemade tribute shirt, who would u use?
Some1 u know, like ‘my bff’?
or would u use a pseudo-A-list actor who ‘people respect’ because they are ’smart’ and ‘play progressive characters’ in Oscar-worthy films?

@HipToDeath,
Not to mention Queens Blvd is a street in the “same city.”
QueenzB-the new Bedford Ave? It might win because it has more drycleaners and a subway line.
