I should probably start off by admitting that I tricked you—or at least
I tried to. You see, the above
picture has absolutely nothing to do with my post below. Truth be told, I wasn’t entirely
confident that my own sketches would draw you in so I borrowed a random photo
of Jenni’s. Hope you don’t mind. Now on to the important stuff…
Since I now basically handle all of the grunt work here at Dear Lillie
with little-to-no help from my task-doling sister, I figured that it was about
time that I made a name for myself within fashion/home décor circles. And what better way to do this than to
release my own line of items through Dear Lillie. Without further ado, allow me to introduce you to our new men’s
line—Dear Billie.
This sleeveless T features… uhh, well… a tank (creative, right?). Yeah, I’m sure its been done before,
but never with such raw style and sheer marketability. **Spoiler Alert** You’re definitely going to want to pick one
of these up if you’re enthralled by the idea of having your shirt rhyme with
your new couch pillows (I’m talking about our yet-to-be-released “Give Thanks”
pillow covers, of course).
I’d be absolutely shocked if this one doesn’t make it into production.
I figured I’d throw a bunch of clothing-related words together and see
what happened. I added some knickers to the rather malnourished looking stick figure to give
it a “vintage” feel (but mostly I did it to make fun of the way Jenni manages
to fit the word “vintage” into every post).
Sunglasses
I thought I’d try my hand with some silhouettes, and I must say they
turned out quite well. This
machine-washable item features L.M. Montgomery’s lesser known “There is such a
place as Garyland” quote. Please
note, I definitely would have given ol’ Gary a mullet if I had any clue what I
was doing.
So now you have a pretty good glimpse of what to expect when we reopen on September 1st.. And please, cut me some slack on the sketches… I’m not an artist, I’m an ideasman.
p.s. For those of you who have joined our new mailing list, don’t worry, we haven’t forgotten about you. We plan on sending something out in the next week or so. For those of you who haven’t signed up... you haven’t missed anything yet, so feel free to join today.
And now for the winner of the Fairyland Tote Giveaway!
Congratulations to Jenny!
Dear Billie? That's awesome! Thank for the laugh!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Jenny!
ReplyDeleteLove the new product line! :)
ReplyDeleteLove it! I am definitely next in line for the adult onesie for men! Ha! You are truly talented Jason - just like your sister! :)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely add the mullet!! It would fly off the shelf down here in the South! just sayin ;-}
ReplyDeleteExcellent new line. And that onesie? Honestly, who ever thought the footie pajamas would sell for adults? Perhaps, it came about exactly like this. :P Marissa
ReplyDeleteThe onesie - its got "best seller" written all over it. I get it haha.
ReplyDeleteDear Billie, your designs are awesome, please put them in your store asap, especially the adult onesie. Just terrific. You have such an eye for fashion. xoxo
ReplyDeleteyou are so funny, i really was "laughing out loud" i bet lillie loves to hang with you, you remind me of my brothers =)
ReplyDeletekills me every time! I don't know how you put up with him! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping for the "Give Tanks" shirt, I have a few on my shopping list that would love it! :)
ReplyDeleteJason, you are funny! I don't care what anyone else says!!! Ha!!!
ReplyDeleteLiterally laughing aloud. The alarming truth is, if it were pitched to the right market - small towns across America - I think it would be a success.
ReplyDeletedear Jason,
ReplyDeleteyou are a hoot! I think I threw up a little bit on that adult onesie though;) After moving to NH I'm thinking I could easily see that at my Market Basket on Saturdays (we 'don't' shop on Saturdays as it's just to scary!!) I loved your vision. I would be waiting for the fashion houses in NYC and Paris to be calling at any moment!
best of luck with the line;)

p.s. If your major wasn't writing, I fear you have missed your destiny!
Your menswear line will do fine, they look like great shirts to wear while lounging in front of the 200" TV's that men love so well.
ReplyDeleteI especially love the "dear billie". Anything with that on it can't help but be a best seller!
ROFL, Cindy
