Life's Eccentricities: These Makes Me Want To Have A Kid!

"Okay so really, I want to buy these but I dont have a kid...! Quick! Someone impregnate me! Haha kidding. But really, I wouldnt mind having one if they're gonna be wearing these cute little things. Oh they're gonna look sooo good!"

This was my reaction when I got to see these cute lil shirts from Googoo & Gaga.

I actually love graphically designed shirts, Im just not stylish - or artisty- enough to wear them, so what better than to pass it off to someone else who cant say anything on the matter hehe...kids!

Here's their story:

"In late 2007, newly-married and finding ourselves constructively
restructuring our lives to include each other and a charming 8-year old little
man, we resolved to take small but quick steps towards creating a fun, healthy,
family-oriented environment. Having another baby was a priority, hence,
independence from employment and going the entrepreneur route were very easy
decisions to make. Fast forward to late 2008, out of our day jobs and realizing
we were going to be in each other’s faces 24/7, googoo&gaga was born. It
came both as a motivation to propagate AJ’s kind of art and an inspiration while
we eagerly anticipate having our own baby. It is also representative of who we
are individually – AJ is the spunky, audacious, creative maverick, while I am
the organized, uncomplicated traditionalist. With imagination, structure,
quirkiness, and sensibility at full capacity between the two of us on
brainstorming sessions (proof that we should celebrate differences more than
resist them), it wasn’t difficult to bring this grand idea to
life.

googoo&gaga hopes to create designs that are both thoughtful and
spontaneous, classy yet edgy, effortless yet artsy. googoo&gaga hopes to
introduce a safe and baby-friendly printing technology that renders a super
soft, unique all-over look on clothes each time. googoo&gaga hopes to spread
good tidings and cheer, a little bit of fancy and a little bit of crazy with
each wearable art piece."
