Perfect Punk Rock Magazines

Morning,

It's the weekend! Our special offer runs until the end of tomorrow, so get yourself over to our Facebook page for details. Also, look out for our advert all about our sale in Monday's Spree section in the Northants Evening Telegraph.

We've been thinking about job titles a lot today. At some places I've worked at in the past, people get so hung up on them, so we take a slightly more, erm, unorthodox approach. I still think one of the greatest job titles I've ever had was during a stint working for Subway, when my badge declared me to be a Sandwich Artist. To be honest, I only applied for the job because I wanted that job title. Currently, when anyone asks, I tend to give my title as Megalomaniac (because as TS Eliot wrote "The naming of cats is a difficult matter..."). I find it amusing, as do most people I tell, but some do just look confused, and others more than a little worried. Isabel, who helps out sometimes, has bagged the title Executive Minion, but I doubt that will be appearing on a CV any time soon. Generally, when I talk about Pete I refer to him as Unorthodox Boy, but he declared this morning he preferred Unorthodox Bitch (more to do with him doing the hoovering than a nasty temperament). Brian, often referred to as our Official Photographer, is equally often referred to as The Hippy On The Stairs. I'm yet to come up with titles for the rest of our helpers (Tahnee especially defies description!) but I'm going to get to work on it (in full consultation with them, obviously). Any of you had any particularly great job titles over the years? Any suggestions? Do let us know.

Anyway, on to Pick Of The Day...



This Worn Free 'Punk Magazine' t-shirt is a licensed replica of the one worn by Joey Ramone in New York, 1975. It comes with the coveted WF tag showing Joey in his original tee. These are now in the sale, as well, so they're a total bargain for a Worn Free tee. Their t-shirts are great quality and in my experience last really well. This one is only left in a Large and numbers are very very limited so if you want one, speak now or forever hold your peace!

View and order the Worn Free Joey Ramone Punk Magazine t-shirt on our online shop.

Have a great weekend. Catch you on Tuesday.

Ruby Tuesday

Morning. Bit late on the blog posting today as it is 'change the mannequins' day. It is also Pippa's (of Pippa Alice whose artwork we have in stock) birthday so happy birthday Pippa! Also got my brother lurking about today (if you pass by, he's the one who looks like a cross between Chewbacca and Tim The Bear from The Cleveland Show).


Pick of the day is this Max C little black dress. I don't think the photo really does it justice, but it gives you an idea (can't wait for our proper photos with the models to be done!). It's got bow detail, a ruched hem at the bottom, and has a lovely silky feel to it. It's also hand crafted (and comes with Max C's tags to prove that!). It's on one of the girl mannequins in the window if you want to take a closer look!

The other mannequins are wearing a Death Kitty pink skull tutu-style skirt and a Spiral Direct diamante skull bandeau, and a pair of Spiral Direct shorts with a Worn Free 'as worn by' Joey Ramone t-shirt.

Just had a sneak peak at the 'high summer' Max C collection and there's some gorgeous pieces. Katie Price was recently spotted wearing one of the Max C dresses we have in stock but I'm unsure if this is a particularly good promotional point so shhh! I'm keeping it quiet!

Enjoy your day.
