Pretty Little Rebels.....

We had a little photo shoot the other night with three of my favorite girls-Makenzie, Adrianna and Annmarie. All juniors at WMHS. The plan was to do the whole photo short at the site of the old Livestock/ Sale Barn on Cypress Street across from J & H Boots & Jeans. Sad to see this WM landmark being torn down.
The girls first met at our home and tried on the new Rebel Football Tee.

They all wore an adult small. These shirts are unisex and are available in S-XL ($34). Because Brent wasn't home yet with Pearson, and I had Phoebe with me, we ended up taking the first batch of pics in the wooded area near our home.

The girls looked so cute in their cut offs and cowboy boots!! Awe- to be young and tan and have long hair like that... :)

They are all three just gorgeous!!!!

Here is 

Annmarie...

 and Kenzie.....

And a few more...

Even got a few cute shots on Brent's Jeep!!

 And this is what Phoebe was dong the whole time...playing in her car (and eating mud!)

On a side note, these football tees look good on men too. And not just metrosexual men--real men!! 

Check out Brent in this pic that Heather Land took (Twosuez Photography). He is wearing an adult large.

After this, we went back inside to the "tshirt room" and the girls got their tanks.

The tanks are a slimmer fit made for woman. Annmarie and Adrianna had on smalls and Kenzie had on a medium for the pics. I normally wear the XL. They are available S-XL for $34 each too. They girls wore little white bandeaus underneath. I most of the time will wear a white sports bra with mine.

(Phoebe seemed to really like Annmarie!)

Finally, Brent got home and we headed off to the site...

This was the view looking back towards Cypress Street. It was about 6 in the evening. 

It was a mess out there, but so many cool textures and backgrounds to pick from.

The girls were troopers and climbed and got on anything I asked them. In the middle of all of this, some people came out and I think started taking pics of US taking pics!! Funny

On this concrete block.

And loved these with this old metal behind them.

Then got them on the last remaining standing metal gates

Pretty Adrianna...

Cool rusted metal everywhere!! texture,texture, texture....

Big Thank you to these three Pretty Little Rebels.....

Summer Update

Hadn't blogged in a month and wanted to update y'all on all of our latest for summer. First thing, We will be at the Saturday July 5th Rivermarket in Downtown Monroe.

This will be the same day as the big Firework show. Praying it doesn't rain and they cancel it like last time. Uggggg. So frustrating! We will be stocked and ready for everyone. Our woman's tanks have been a big success this summer. We introduced some new styles to wear like the Eco Ringer Racerback. Shown here with the Red and Blue Blue Heron

and on a Purple and Gold Tiger.

We just came out with a very cool Cowskull design that is featured on a Blue and Brown Ringer Tank.

I love these because they are dressy enough to wear out with some black or white pants or casual enough to put with your old fav boyfriend jeans.

The Cowskull originally had horns, but I decided to take those off so the face part could be larger on the tank. We also just printed a new Rebel Tank (works great for Ole Miss or West Monroe High) and a new Bulldawg tank.

Have u noticed we LOVE that red and blue ringer tank. Hahah. This particular tank is a slimmer fit so don't be surprised if u have to go up a size on it. I wear an XL in it. S-XL. $34 each.  If u prefer a looser fit tank that doesn't hug the middle section, stick to our triblend unisex tanks.
  For the kiddos, we just came out with a dragon fly printed on a beautiful bright pink tee.

Light weight and super soft.  It is available  online (www.mrpstees.bigcartel.com) or at KSera in West Monroe, And, we also have a Bayou Bullfrog coming out this week featured on green on green.

I know my buddy Brian Wade is happy~ he has been wanting a bullfrog for awhile now. Both of these are available in 2t, 4t, 6t, 8,10 and 12. $24 each.
 We also try to create some custom designs for people /businesses when we can squeeze them in. I had the privilege to work with the ladies of Gypsy Dust Photography (www.gypsydustphotographers.com) on a cool vintage style design. They are natural light photographers that specialize in Senior portraits. They wanted to have a cool tank to be able to give to their clients as a thank you for using their services.

Love how the "Chase the Light" design turned out with the sparkly gold ink on a teal colored tank. We have also been working on a design for the best Mexican restaurant in town...Iron Cactus!!

That place is always packed and delicious. Well worth the drive out to Calhoun. They didn't want to stray to far from their existing logo that everyone recognizes, so we just freshened it up a tad and have it with that cool old looking hand drawn feel that we are know for.  They are located at 1304 Hwy 80 East in Calhoun, LA. One more design we did for a group was a special maroon tank for the Hawkline of ULM.

The dance team got a cute tank for camp that features our new Flying Warhawk with the Hawkline name underneath. Can't wait to get a group pic of all the girls.

We also had a photo shoot with Heather Land and TwoSuez Photography. Working on updating our website. She is a dream to work with!! Can't wait for every one to see the end results. And, a BIG happy birthday to our daughter Phoebe :)

Time has really flown by....

Nutria....it's whats for dinner

Our latest design features the King of all Rats...the Nutria.

 (Also known as Coypu, Swamp Rat, and Marsh-Muncher). Check out those nasty yellow orange teeth. Pic from internet. These destructive boogers have wrecked havic on our state. I was amazed to read about all of the damage these rodents have done to our wetlands. Did you know that we have more than 4 million acres of wetlands, which makes our state the most diverse and productive ecosystem in the nation? And the hungry Nutria have eaten there way through an estimated 80,000 acres of marsh according to the Louisiana Department of Wildlife.  Why does this matter?? Why do we need to protect our wetlands?? Well, there are quite a few reasons. I saw this list of the Top 7 on the marshdog.com website.

 When researching a little more about these guys, I learned about how quickly they can multiply and start eating!  I read that a mother nutria can have anywhere from 1-13 babies up to three times a year AND within the first few hours of birth, the babies are already eating plant growth. The state of Louisiana adopted an incentive plan under the Coastwide Nutria Control Program a few years ago for hunters wanting to make an extra buck. The going rate is/was around $4-5 dollars a tail.

 A hunter would become licensed to hunt or trap nutria and then turn in all tails of what they killed. The very first year, over a million dollars was paid out to those participating in this program.
 Another program executed by the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries involves trying to promote the consumption of nutria meat for people. What??! Eat a Nutria Rat- are your crazy?? hahaha
  But, apparently, nutria is very lean and good for you! It's low in fat and cholesterol and there are minimal harmful microorganisms associated with it.  Supposedly tastes like a dark turkey. Have you ever eaten Nutria before??  I know what you are thinking...But who wants to walk into Cotton and order a seared Nutria filet?!

And when doing research for this shirt, I came across a company in Baton Rouge called "Marsh Dog" that sells specialty Nutria treats for your canine. www.marshdog.com This would be a funny gift to send your dog loving friends.

Yum yum!! Hahah. It seems like they must do a pretty good business from what I can tell. So, we decided on the phrase "Save the Boot, Serve Nutria".  Brent actually came up with the saying, and I just provided the drawing. We figure serving it can mean to your family or to your dogs!! Lol.
  So, here is our design.

Big thanks to graphic designer Jeff Smith for helping to give this tee its retro feel. I like to call it "Retro Rat" HA! Love the old school retro ads of way back when... Great thinking Jeff!

We printed it on an chocolate colored American Apparel 50/50 blended tee that is super soft. It has that worn look that we just love. We have it available in youth and adult tees. Here is the youth..

Mr P is shown here wearing a 2t. 

And here is one of Brent by himself. He is actually wearing an Adult Medium in this tee.

Looks cute on both my boys :)

 I also think this outfit would be adorable for the upcoming Bayou Superset in Baton Rouge. We are going to it with some friends and I can't wait!!

Throw on some boots, cutoffs and a nutria rat tee and your outfit def screams Country Cool !!

And seconds before I took the above pic, Phoebe was crawling by...hahaha. We truly are a small family owned business...

 These tees are available online at www.mrpstees.bigcartel.com or at KSera in West Monroe. Adult is $28 and youth are $24.

Thanks for reading. Would love to hear your thoughts on eating Nutria...?? Would you eat it? Or serve it to your dog??


Love
