An early day called for a bit of shopping this afternoon. I decided to spend my time and my dollars locally with "Ruby" owner Laura Lea Reid. Laura has decided to move the shop, currently located at 3932 Magazine Street, down the street (new address to be announced) and she is having a fantastic sale. One of the first things to catch my eye was a t-shirt manufactured by "Better Bacon"."Better Bacon" t-shirts are produced by members of the Kids of Widney High, a Southern Cali band made up of young adults with developmental disabilities. My purchase of "Out of Shape Banana" was created by band member Peewee and inspired by the Velvet Underground Cd cover art by Andy Warhol really made my day!
Each of the shirts that band members create come complete with a tag that showcases a photo of the artist, their inspiration for the design and his/her personal credo. A proceed of sales directly benefits the "Kids of Widney High". Be sure to visit Laura over at Ruby to pick up a t-shirt, she doesn't have many left! She is the only distributor for Better Bacon in the state of Louisiana.
