Vintage Vantage Gives Good Gavel
December 12, 2008 by Jimmy J · Leave a Comment
The good news: VV has gone throwback by auctioning over 100 vintage t-shirts through their eBay account. I can’t recall the last time they had so many tees up for grabs…I’m pretty sure Bush was in the White House, and American troops were in Iraq.
The sad news: during the craziness to all get the shirts listed, there was an accident on the VV set. Their lovable dog was caught under a horrific vintage tee avalanche…until a smart human sniffed him out.
This isn’t the first time VV has had a close call. Remember the time the set dresser forgot to remind the models that a toy water pistol was actually loaded with real water? Scary.
With bids starting as low as $1.99 we don’t need Bob Barker to tell us if the price is right, especially during tough economic times. And if you plan on giving the gift of vintage, the auctions are all timed to ensure delivery before December 24th.

Bloody Stools = Bloody Disgusting

In this section I highlight the worst vintage t-shirts ever created. No, I don’t mean Bad in the 1980s Michael Jackson way … I mean: offensive, vile, in poor taste, politically incorrect, or just plain ugly.
T-Shirt: Bloody Stools
Type: Band
Offense: Gross-Out
Uses: Toilet Rag
Information on this band is tough to find, and even tougher to search through. If you Google them you’ll find a lot of medical diagnosis that’s more disgusting than the cover of their 1991 album.
After weeding through all the crap, I finally find out they were a metal band…surprise, surprise, that was put together as a gag by some sound engineers. Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, Sabastian Bach and Dave Sabo all made guest appearances on the album. Hey, that’s pretty damn cool, right? Well, it gets completely overshadowed by the poor choice in names, lyrics and imagery.
The title tracks included, “Show Me Your Tits,” “Barnyard Love” and “Give Head or Die.” You can listen to a few of these tracks on their very unpopular MySpace page.
Thankfully the band didn’t survive what ever condition was ailing them.
