This is my favorite thing... within a one block radius of my boxing gym. Since a hearty chunk of real estate between the Flatiron and Macy's is occupied by an ever-changing cast of massively sketchy wholesale shops, it's not unusual to see depressing window displays full of crappy clothing soon to be seen on the runways of, um, a street vendor's table. Since about, oh, let's say 5 seconds after it became clear that the presidential race was going to be Obama v. McCain, a healthy chunk of these store windows have been packed with odd, cut-rate Obamamania in every form imaginable. The following shirt popped up a while back on 26th Street and I've been actively laughing about it ever since. BARACK OBAMA, Happy dream family, Barack, Michelle, Malia, and Sasha. That's right, it says happy dream family. There's a part of me that's looking into buying a crate of these, and another part that says this is probably only the tip of the iceberg in terms of bizarro Engrish tributes to our President and his happy dream family, so I should probably wait for the "Obama Future Joy World Times of Change President Man" coin purse series or maybe the "Let's so Obama! It up!" dog sweaters...
i bought one of these about 6 months ago in an XXL size. it's been a great nightshirt for my girlfriend but everyone wants one! is that store still selling any?
thanks!
