Speaking of Hangovers...


Hello Weary Ones,


"A hangover is the wrath of grapes." - Author Unknown

In an effort to keep reading long drawn-out, possibly complicated things to a minimum, all we'll say is that this time, it was probably worth it.

Hang in there little ones,


The Maple Orgins is a little bit rock star and a little bit worn out and off-kilter -- perfect for a hangover day.

Uugh, its too early,

Today is dedicated to that unique feeling of post party shenanigans. Cheers to limos, dance parties and limbo contests. We might not be feeling so hot but like they say, no pain, no gain.

Cheers!

Speaking of White Elephants...


Think on this Prezzie Lovers,


"A hug is a great gift - one size fits all, and it's easy to exchange." - Author Unknown

What a wonderful feel good kind of quote! It reminds us that good cheer and generosity is not just for Christmas, it's for all year long. Sigh.

Yo Circus Freaks-

We picked Hoedown because its more fun than an elephant on a tightrope or a giraffe on a trapeze.

What up pachyderm?

A white elephant is not precisely white. Its more of a delicate grey. Here's to antlers, bitch cups and cardboard skate parks.

The Inspiration of Gerbera Daisies


Good afternoon smiling faces!

Today we are inspired by the bold simplicity of gerbera daisies. Classic, cute but not too frilly. We dig!

Speaking of Gerbera Daisies...

Hello friends,

"The earth laughs in flowers." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

We pay homage today to Gerbera Daisies because we recognize the beauty they bring with them wherever they go. In a vase, in a garden, in a painting... we don't care where we have them, as long as we have them.

Bring on the spring!

The Inspiration of Greg's Top Tops

Word 'em up G,

In a search for the truth about the where, when and why of the start of Greg's Top Tops, we discovered that quite frankly, he could have been inspired by any number of things. Perhaps it was that sassy dog bowl that called out to him, or maybe it was the man tank that spoke his name. It could have been the quirky pattern he saw at the fabric store while window shopping or the thank you card he received last year. Regardless of the source of the obsession, we are forever grateful Greg has chosen an appropriate platform to display his love affair with the strizz-ipes. We dig.

The Typeface of Greg's Top Tops

Greetings G-fans,



At last, a font to accompany Greg's Top Tops. DF Vanilla embodies the feeling surrounding Greg's infamous affinity for stripes and lends an 80's feel to the whole scene, which of course is highly applicable. High tops and funny hair anyone?

Speaking of Greg's Top Tops...

Welcome to the G-Funk Era,

"Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society." - Mark Twain

This blog topic has been quite some time in coming... what all started with one stripey shirt has evolved into an entire era of blue and brown loveliness. A little birdie once told us, if you find something you like, buy one in every single color. In this situation, we think if you like the color of something, make sure you buy everything in that color.

Cheers to rockin' the same but not the same, Greg.

What up G,

A week would not be complete without a glimpse of one of Greg's infamous Top Tops. One part pms 304, one part brown, stripe it up and you'll be rockin' the town.

The Inspiration of Gelato
























Greetings!


Pistachio gelato in the perfect color. Enjoy!

Speaking of Gelato...

Dear Lovers of the Last Course,

"Stressed is desserts spelled backwards. Coincidence? I think not!" - Author Unknown

Considering it IS a Monday, we tend to agree. Nothing says "nirvana" like a friendly pint from the neighborhood gelato haunt.

The Inspiration of Gangster Rap

Yo Children,

What could be a Friday without sum three-wheel motion and blingin' grillz!

Aight then,

-The Tweedles

 


It wouldn't be a blog on Gangster Rap without a little NWA throwback. Here's to being Straight Outta Compton.

Speaking of Gangster Rap...

"Passion makes the world go 'round. Love just makes it a safer place." - Ice-T

From the mouth of the Original Gangster, we find some words of wisdom and a little truth for that @$. Word.

Hello Cats and Kittens,

Gangster Rap is just too pimpin to pick one font. Today we mixed SG Balmoral SH Regular (Script) and Plain Black Wide (Blackletter) to satisfy our needs.

Keepin' it real,

Good morning kids,

We all know Gangster Rap brings joy to everyone's ears. In our appreciation we have chosen PMS 7540 in honor of their grillz, billz, and mad skillz. Peace.

The Inspiration of Unicorns

Good afternoon my dears,

A little inspiration is always good for the soul. My top pick for unicorn inspiration was taken from my most favorite childhood movies, The Last Unicorn and Unico. Check these little treats out for some major unicorn action.
-Tweedle R




In a visit to my mom's house last summer, we pulled out the old 45 record player and popped this fancy little ditty in. Straight outta 1971 and still leaves me speechless.
- Tweedle L

Speaking of Unicorns...

Dear Princes and Princesses,

"Unicorns don't care if you believe in them any more than you care if they believe in you." - Author Unknown

For us, we find that from our early days of childhood, a deep respect and reverence for the unicorn exists. We imagined searching for and stumbling upon a unicorn, always knowing that one may find a unicorn, but never capture a unicorn. The joy is in the actual experience of encountering one face to face, realizing that by holding one hostage would indeed rob it of all it's enchanting powers.

May the search live on!

- The Tweedles

The Typeface of Unicorns


Curious minds asked the tweedles what font a unicorn would use. We don't like to leave all of our adoring fans waiting, so for all those wondering... a unicorn would use Naiv Thin.

The Color of Unicorns


Good morning friends,

Today unicorns are running about our heads. We are just in love with these mythical creatures, therefore the color of the day is PMS 7438C.
