Hot Mess gets its Bang-On!
I love T-shirts- especially the ones that make me snicker and giggle, or even better the ones that illicit a laugh from a passerby. I'm always jotting down ideas or shopping for that next great shirt. Last month I hit the jackpot in finding Bang-On! Bang on is a Canadian company based in Vancouver and I am pleased to say that Hot Mess now carries many of their fantastic tees. Specializing in vintage retro style design and also carrying some big names like Sesame Street and Fraggle Rock, Bang-On is a rockstar as far as I'm concerned and I look forward to carrying even more of this great line!

Mess and The Media Whore
So here it is the busiest time of year for Hot Mess, T-shirts are being slung all over the place, the sets are ready, and Mess has called in the troops to the front lines. Graphic Designer Ronnie Wayne Myers answered that call with a sassy new logo for Hot Mess and his ‘Pride ‘design to commemorate Dallas Gay Pride 2010, is exceptional- especially given the fact that Mess called 3 days before Pride with a deadline of about for hours!
Ronnie is skilled in graphic and website design and specializes in video editing. This self proclaimed 'Media Whore' is solely resand possible for our new logo and Hot Mess being ready for Dallas Pride 2010. Hot Mess is thrilled to have his talents – from new T-shirt designs to designing custom orders and logos, Ronnie is a blessing to us at Hot Mess T-shirts. He will be taking over our online store in entirety- so look for new designs and a whole new layout to our site from this superstar!

The Origins of Hot Mess
I'm often asked, after the giggling stops, where and why did I choose "Hot Mess" as a name for my business.
The answer is simple- if you cant make fun of yourself and have fun in your business- then what's the point? I admit freely to being a "Hot Mess", (decidedly more of a 'mess' than 'hot'), but I take great pride just hearing the giggles and seeing the smiles and smirks when I say - .." this is 'Hot Mess calling" or my that business name is spelt "H-o-t M-e-s-s".
So with this all in mind and keeping with the energy of the name I have decided to make this blog informative of our events, updates and new products and to share my successes and abysmal failures but also a place to share a laugh, a link, or a funny story. From the ideas I have running around in my head to the pure absurd things I hear or stumble upon and have shared with me.
So enjoy and take pride in being every little bit of the 'Hot Mess' you are ( and trust me - you are !)

S.E.O.'s, A.P.I.'s , DNS and other techno-babble
It's become part of our vocablulary: "Are you on Facebook?"
I want to respond "I'll have my page call your page" and it dawns on me... a new batch of t-shirts....Facebook...what's to be said about it on a t-shirt?
What isn't?!!
And to the drawing board I go. That's what I love about tees. One minute an notion, a visual or a joke or phrase, and the next is the psssion that brought this whole concept and the enamorment to begin with. I love this business: If I had a warehouse and full printing facility, a studio and a team of elves on amphetamine, I still would have a list as long as my arm on ideas and notes on designs, and things we want to do.
Recently, on top of live events and the website/web-store, we have joined Facebook, have an online photo gallery and portfolio, this blog - we have been assimilated and are on the information super highway. So please hit me up on Facebook, comment here and on our pictures and watch for coupon codes, special offers and information straight to you, and remember...."it's okay to wear your art on your sleeve".

Deep Ellum Outdoor Market
As Hot Mess begins it's journey from a twinkle in our eye to an entity all it's own, we have found lessons, friends and surprises at every turn.
Last weekend we partipated in an outdoor market in Dallas' 'Deep Ellum' (a great neighborhood full of amazing restaurants and bars, tatoo parlors and shops)it was a blast!
We joined local artists and businesses and had a spectacular turnout despite the hundred degree Texas heat. Local musicians lit up the stage, artists displayed their wares and we of course came laden with t-shirts including our tie-dye "Deep Ellum" shirt.
We met many a new friend and through the miracles of social networking like Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/HotMessTshirts) we were able to display our photos and banter with friends and family- those present and those unable to be there.
We celebrated the t-shirts that brought a giggle and shared in how much joy our business has given us.
In addition to our blog and the online store, we have our Facebook page to share with you and our newly developed online photo gallery and web albums. We hope to see you there!

"Tweet Me Right"
Hot Mess just couldn't bear the words "Tweet me." Let me add that by NO means are we 'techies,' -- there were more than a couple of select phrases and many tears at the thought of learning what "tweeting" was -- and since blogging seems to be all the rage, we decided to give it a shot, Hot Mess Style! That no canaries would be harmed in any way, was just an added bonus.
What we DO know is t-shirts. We love everything about them, from the funny phrase we just 'have to see on a tee' to the thrill of watching a passerby strain to read the deliberately small writing on the one we're wearing, to the joy of getting one as a gift. WE LOVE t-shirts!
Hot Mess is always trying to improve our ideas and much of that comes from you, that's why we started carrying a 'Juniors' tee - cut just for the girls, with a tunic length and shorter sleeves (Mess's sister would have it no other way and frankly she's usually right!) and it's also why we chose to use ringspun cotton and a lighter weight t-shirt. We've gotten great reviews on how soft the tees are, that they breathe and aren't boxy like many of the 'concert style' t-shirts out there.
We hope that this blog is a great tool for keeping you up to date on what we're up to, new styles and new ideas, as well as a place for you to let us know your thoughts and share with us. So look for postings as we begin this journey into blogging and into the world of t-shirts. We're glad you're with us and never forget that it's okay to 'wear your art on your sleeve' and if you say something funny and our little ears perk up, you can bet that it's gonna be on a t-shirt soon, and remember if your gonnna be a mess -be a HOT MESS!
