There's a Monster on my t-shirt and I dunno what to do about it



My dear friend, the Green Fairy (yes, that IS her name), came by the Nilsalon today and bought one of my shirts. The collection is called "There's a Monster on my t-shirt and I dunno what to do about it." All the shirts are unique, none is ever sold twice. The back is not empty either. But there'll be a post about my shirts soon anyways, and I don't wanna tell you everything up front.

Just know that The Green Fairy is as magical as she sounds!

There are 3 designs available and all can be worn on both sides (inside out and outide, well, out). Colours are red, camel, grey, black and white, material used is jersey.

Last month I was visiting my sister in Hamburg. It was my first time in Hamburg ever. I didn't go out very much, oposed to my other city visits. It was different because it was sorta coming home-ish to me, because my sister was there. I'm used to go away for a week or two and then return to my sister and not go away to see my sister and return without her.
We spend a lot of time indoors watching telly in her room. Her room is very oldfashioned (in a good way). It has a lot of flowery lamps in it, a red sofa and a single bed. It also has a table and a closet and some chairs of course.
Generally my sister left in the morning to go to work and I would lurk around midday till my sisters lunchbreak. After lunch with my sister I'd wander about in her area, Sternschanze, where all the Hipsters are. I found a cool recordstore near her place and bought two CocoRosie vynils. I also found a lot of tiny designer stores and second hand shops.
At Kleidermarkt, a huge hall filled with second hand clothes and shoes, I found a grandma sweater and an 80ies shirt/blouse. At another second hand store I found the nicest Burberry coat ever. After I found the Burberry coat I wasn't able to spend money on clothes anymore.
Two days of my visit I only sat in a Café researching for my collection.
But the best times were the evenings I spent with my sister in front of the TV, watching Wizards of Waverly Place and Hannah Montana. I miss her so much!

Let me introduce you to Johanna Pretsch, an obviously very ambitious student from the first semester. This time I put the product names/description below the pictures for obvious reasons.

I know how technically it's Day #6 but since it was impossible for me to post the other day, you gotta let this one slide. On the other hand I gave you six products today, so you can't really say anything.

Also sign our petition to save the University. And come to our party.
