the t-shirt of my dreams is giving me nightmares!

it has been some time since i first saw the hot guy walking along swanston st in the city... wearing what was the best thing i have seen in a while...


and then in the following days at work i was talking to sonia about this t-shirt i saw...

"oh my god.. i saw it too... i don't know what shop it is from, but it is on brunswick st"


so... fast forward at least 2 months later i am on brunswick st... doing some shopping.. and at the last minute before heading back into the city i come across this store that has 3 "alternative hotties" inside and no racks for about 5 metres in..

i thought to myself this was quite a distance to walk... and then feel like an ugly idiot when i realised that this wasn't the shop that "dream shirt" was in.. but i kept walking... i was brave. i smiled to the hottie with the amazing haircut behind the counter and went to the very back of the shop where i saw a few black and white prints...


by this time the 2 "customer hotties" had left and it was 1 on 1 with the assistant.. we made small talk and then i FOUND IT!!! casually i asked if i could try it on when really i was going to need to change my jeans...


cut to: dressing room 46 seconds later!!!


ohhhh the shirt and i finally found each other...!! i was soo happy... but the price... OUCH. it would have to be without question the most expensive shirt i have ever bought. but was it worth it?? i didn't know!!! i was sooo conflicted...

after getting back into my usual not-so-hot clothes i talked to the lass and she said they were not going to be printing my old pal laura palmer much longer and that that actual shirt was the last of the normal sizes...

so.. if anyone out there cares enough... i would like to know just how much you have paid for the clothing item of your dreams... i would be curious to know if there are other ludicrous purchases out there other than li-kims space clown shoes...


p.s - the store is called alphaville and this is what it looked like. HOW COOL!!!!

Mmm well Butler only knows this so far... I got a jacket with an egyptian print on the back from the USA and it was... lets just say... nearly 150 clams. OUCH. yes but I loves it and it's special hemp material - but look out coz I just got myself a debit/credit card. don't tell me you didn't buy the t-shirt? did you buy it? It sounds like it....
