Emily of emdashes has been pushing me to submit something to Threadless.com, so I decided to use my high-heeled Manolos image for a t-shirt submission, and was pleasantly surprised to see they’re actually running it. If you’d like to vote on it, or throw rotten tomatoes at it, feel free! Here it is. I’ve submitted a “reworked” version, without signature, and with the text placed differently, but it’s not up yet.

The inspiration? On a recent eight-hour fitting for Calvin Klein, one of the technical designers couldn’t get enough of that phrase. Since it was one of those fittings where the model is supposed to keep her mouth shut for 8 hours, I spent that time wondering what I could do with it. Here you go! I figure, it’s not nice to call someone else a high-heeled lowlife, but there’s no harm in calling yourself one by wearing this T-shirt, is there?
