The Magic of Fussy

There have been many tales about the magic of the Fussy T-shirt and I am happy to report that mine arrived today!

Of course, I wanted to join in on the posting-of-photos:

I snapped a few of myself in the mirror. In my dorkatude, I did not remember that the letters would be backwards in the photo. And when I moved to the bathroom for better light, the toothpaste on the mirror got top billing. The magic of Photoshop has realigned the words, but I decided to keep the toothpaste for character.

Then I put the shirt on Spliggle. It made a wonderful off-the-shoulder dress. He thought the whole thing was a riot: "Dress me up and take my picture!"

No strange stories yet. I wore the shirt to the movies (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) and saw a few people reading it, but nobody asked about it.

And I love the pics! You look great.

I would like to get one (along with a Momtini shirt from Melissa/Suburban Bliss) - just haven't done so yet.

The first line? ;-)

I was trying to be clever, but forming a sentence with multiple hyperlinks late at night after watching a trippy movie can be a challenge. My bad!

So, I did edit the first sentence. In the interest of full disclosure, it used to read “There have been many tales abound of the magic of the Fussy T-shirt…” This sentence is a poorly written tautology. I am embarrassed I made such a mistake given the sentiment of the T-shirt. Gasp! I wanted enough words to include each of the links to T-shirt stories, but instead I ended up being too wordy in an ungrammatical way.

If it wasn’t the first sentence, please fill me in! I am embarrassed to have made more errors.

I agree - the Momtini shirts rock! She has thongs for sale, too! ;-)

OMG! I just saw what you probably meant.

UGH! Sorry Mrs. Kennedy.

I have now added an "r" to "shirt" LOL.

No no no, I liked the multiple hyperlinks. I was referring to the inadvertent use of profanity. You know I'm definitely not opposed to profanity, but I didn't think you meant to use it THERE. I'm not about to criticize your sentence structure. People in glass houses, you know.

And now I need a Momtini thong too.

Yeah. I finally figured it out. I didn't want to diss the shirt. I've been listening to Hollaback Girl too often, perhaps? Or maybe my fingers just flew over the keys a bit too rapidly. ;-)
