Just like we announced on our latest newsletter now's the time to get busy with the slogans again. Each week two slogans from the competition will be selected, printed on buttons and handed out to our customers with their orders for free. What do you mean "what's in it for me?" Well, you've got a point there! In a way our slogan competition is an ongoing friday game; each winner gets enough brouzoufs for a t-shirt from our selection (shipping included). I will announce the new winners each monday (…and yes, I do know it's tuesday today) from now on. This really goes without saying but it's fun, easy and anyone can participate in a matter of seconds. Check it out; submit, vote and win!
Christmas is the season for taking it easy and loving the people around you. Therefore the first two winner slogans are as follows:
"I love <place your name here>"
By poulet
"Your mama loves me"
By CloverLeaf Design
Spread the love. <3
Announcing the new EU winner is way overdue (like many things really – Christmas time is very hectic!) but here it comes; I’m very happy to tell you that “Ego-logic” by Doubidou will be seen on 500 laFraise t-shirts in a while!
The style of the design is pretty straight and honest. The curve ball is the idea itself which is very clever. Doubidou has put together a somewhat sarcastic message using the chemical elements – this is something you might want to get for that friend of yours with a brand new monster SUV. Those things must be good for something. Killing the planet for boosting your own ego if nothing else, I suppose.
Besides this design there will be one more EU selection made this year. The amount of new submissions has been pretty steady but during the last couple of weeks it’s been decreasing slightly. It would be great to see some more stuff here even though I do realize that also our designers must be pretty busy during the season. Remember that nothing really melts the Christmas dinner off your waistline like relaxing with a sketchpad. With some luck and good behaviour Santa might even bring you a new Wacom pad to play around with.
Even though 2008 is still a couple of weeks away it’s probably the right time to announce this; we will start the new year with a special competition here on laFraise EU. The first ads are already out and more information will be announced right here right after midnight on 01.01.08.
To be quite honest I can’t figure out our newest shirt myself – it looks cool and I love it but it’s very French indeed and the tool I depend on with these (Babelfish) only came up with random gibberish when I tried to translate the sentence. So, any frenchies out there to help me with this one?
"Parle moi a mon tee" is designed by cuypi – one of my very favourite laFraise designers. Even though I’ve got no idea of the text itself this is cool enough to buy – well, for me at least. It also helps that it's printed on a colorful shirt. Dress to impress!

Today’s advent shirt is ”French People” by swampfactory. We’re actually talking about two discounted shirts here – the gold version and the royal blue version. These go especially well with smelly cheeses, baquettes and red wine!
On the third Sunday of December all was quiet and peaceful. Frosty snow was slowly falling and there was only a single person outside; a small girl with a smile on her face was playing with soap bubbles. A peculiar thing to do in December if you think about it. She seems quite happy though but what’s that? I think there something inside those bubbles!
(Today’s advent shirt is “Bulles d'insectes” by Nesk from our Mademoiselle line)
Besides the hoodies we’ve also got other new stuff available; “lol boy” is here. This slightly nerdy delight comes from our special Vice competition that Mike is hosting on the german site. The designer is beyond the chuch' – a name that I’m still trying to understand.

Oh, one more thing about the shirts; since Christmas is already almost here and we’ve only got a few of our Christmas shirts left we decided to offer the rest of them on a discount. So, “Noel TV” and “Tunning Sapin” are available for 11€. Get yours while we’ve still got some.
How about a little cruise, dear community? Today I’ll take you all sailing and the tickets cost only 15e / piece. “Imagination v2” by Presse is today’s advent shirt. Ship ahoy!
Fast! Run! Now! …if you want yourself a “Reservoir Colors”-hoodie, I mean. The t-shirts sold out really fast and the same thing is now happening with the latest addition to our store. I talked about killer designs a few months back here on the EU blog and this is definitely one of them. So, thanks a lot Gprod!
