This little Ganesh was given to me as I was leaving India back in 2009. A Ganesh should always face you right when you enter into a room.

There are a couple of trends I’ve been slow to the take: one of them being graphic tees. I figured out why….when you wear a graphic tee, you’ve got to feel the message. The t-shirt actually says something, so when you wear it you have to remember that you are actually communicating to anyone whoContinue reading Graphic Tees Please
