Go low key
It is that time of the year again when the sound of cheers and the clinking of bottles are just as loud and boisterous as the laughter animatedly mixed with the music played in the background.
Friends go out and about on weekends to spend the night partying and watching out for their favorite live bands to perform. If anything, it is the time that almost everyone looks forward to upon the thought of October drawing near.
Indeed, not too many can really help but join in with the highly anticipated fun of Oktoberfest, though the fever has actually started back in late September. Nevertheless, Live! is fully aware of that thus, fashionwise we, go low key!
Going to gigs, jam sessions, rock fests— or whatever people call a concert—need not entail too much clamor on glamour. Accessories may make more some plus than expected but really, too high fashion might only prove to be pretty inappropriate.
So if anyone agrees with the suggestion to go low key, here are some shirts fit for wearing while enjoying various gatherings in line with the Oktoberfest celebration.
Ken Racho personally designs fine and dandy shirts under the Mermollie Ink brand, which was started in the middle of 2007. It was initially inspired by the self-made fictional characters called Mermo and Mollie from an indie web comic.
Six cool and becoming shirts—all made of cotton—are on display in this show. Insights for individual designs are as thrilling as the very end product came out to be, thanks to random and weird stuff the designer encounters on a daily basis.
One shirt is called Bigfoot Surprise. As Racho puts it, it was based on the idea that a legendary Sasquatch could hastily ruin a perfect picnic date anytime in the woods. Clearly, he was amused with the story.
Another shirt is called Crossed Brush, of which Racho took a whim from the thought that “skeletons have more stuff to brush.”
Next, there is the Breakfast Seal, which is—needless to spell out—inspired by the bacon and eggs tandem that surely wins most of Racho’s daily breakfast choice.
There is also the shirt marked as, well, a Gummy Mark. It bucks up a person’s sweet tooth to go gaga over a certain “gummy mushroom.”
Second to the last is a shirt called Braceface, which eggs on someone to brace himself for the egg monster that is, as Racho likes to put it, believed to “live in the sewers.”
Last, but in no way the least, is the shirt called Ice creamed. It makes for the thought of scream- ing cold in fear of an ice cream monster made believed to invade the city to take revenge on an ice cream truck. Quite a story made there already.
Without a doubt, Racho is not only inventive with his hand but with his mind as well. And though these tees are currently recommended for going out to celebrate Oktoberfest, there is no telling what other occasion would call for their service. As the saying goes, the sky is the limit!
