Ah, but are the moms who buy this shirt too young to know? Sad, it is.

Oh, no way! That's wrong on so many levels - what you said, plus they're pink and not oversized. Sheesh. How's a girl supposed to look like she stepped (danced?) out of a Wham video dressed like that?

My tween loves these retro shirts they sell (not this particular shirt); and she often picks designs that have "peace" symbols or anti-war sentiments… and I think it's sad that hippie/war protesting shirts are back in vogue, by necessity. Fekking Bush.
Sorry for the downer. Frankie say relax, after all… ;)

MommyTime said:

Ack! And I'll bet there were no legwarmers in sight near this display either! This is just wrong on so many levels. At least it makes it easy to resist buying the shirts, though. I always think that if you wore the style the first time, you should wear the rerun when it comes around again: this way, there's no temptation.

I meant, of course, should NOT wear the rerun. Apparently, I should go get some sleep.

I still have (somewhere, in my high school archives) an original "RELAX" t-shirt that was the tie-dye 80's version (I think they called it colorchrome… where it changed colors depending on the temperature?)

OMG! My daughter BOUGHT one of these at Target, was like, $9.
And for the rest of the day not only could I not get the "relax" sound out of my mind—-I kept thinking of Will Ferrell
as that insane designer, mongoto or whatever his name is. My daughter LOVED it. So did her friends. All of the mothers cringe.
