You Have No Power over Tee

When I was a teenager, CD's (not mp3's!) were all the rage. Back then, if you were a music-lover and a teen on a tight budget, you joined CD clubs that offered amazing deals, like twelve CDs for the price of a penny! I became a member of one, and every month or so they'd snail-mail me a catalog that featured a different artist in each issue.

When I was a teenager, CD's (not mp3's!) were all the rage. Back then, if you were a music-lover and a teen on a tight budget, you joined CD clubs that offered amazing deals, like twelve CDs for the price of a penny! I became a member of one, and every month or so they'd snail-mail me a catalog that featured a different artist in each issue. One time, the celebrated artist was David Bowie, and the club was offering his double-disc album, "The Singles", at a ridiculously low price. So, I ordered it and soon thereafter began my long spiraling addiction to the work of this rock and roll chameleon. I was especially delighted, then, to discover this nettle pink tee with the word "Bowie" emblazoned upon it next to a distressed print of a white owl with two differently colored eyes. Fellow Bowie-lovers need not be informed of how appropriate this is, considering that the musician/actor played the part of the Goblin King, Jareth, whose appearance was preceded by this albino bird, in the movie "Labyrinth", and that a childhood fight damaged one of Bowie's pupils, resulting in the appearance of mis-matched eyes. And, as much as I've adored taking this little sentimental journey back to my teens, I'm convinced that you'll fall into modern love with this top's super soft construction and relaxed fit that will make this feel as comfortable as an old favorite. Not to mention, you're bound to drive all the young dudes a little crazy with the 3/4 length dolman sleeves and the flirty, over-the-shoulder neckline. So, come on - layer this T-shirt over a tank, slip into some sequined leggings, then put on your red shoes, and let's dance! - Richard, Fashion Writer
