Fun Time Open Thread: It’s a Contest!



Over the weekend we were hanging out in our imaginary Persephone HQ, talking about how cool it would be to have official P-Mag T-shirts. A lot of ideas were tossed around, but we have yet to come up with the definitive design.

Now I’m opening it up to you, our dear readers. What do you think the P-Mag T-shirt should look like? Make up a design, post a picture in the comments and if we choose yours, you will get a free shirt when we get them made. Bonus points will be awarded for incorporating pomegranates, unicorns, zombies or Fuck Yeah, Jessica Fletcher. Enter as often as you like, if you have trouble loading your image in a comment, you can e-mail it to me at SaraB@persephonemagazine.com.

Need a T-shirt template? Try speckyboy! If you want to be considered for the contest, please make sure you use images that are legal and free for us to use. If you just want to make something for fun to share in the comments, anything goes. :)

menacing opossum

I would also award bonus points for using Jen L. Disarray's awesome possum.

If it were up to me, this would be it.

Thanks for rating this! Now tell the world how you feel via Twitter.

    I just want @Slaybelle‘s icon on a tshirt.

      That. . . would be AWESOME. *_*

      Beau said I am not allowed to get it as a tattoo. So I’m going to do the second best — I’m gonna convert the picture to a cross stitch pattern and stitch it up.

        I’ve actually been looking for the perfect unicorn tattoo…I think this might be it.

        • [E] Slay Belle
          [E] Slay Belle02-01-2012

          It would make a seriously rad tattoo. I should really track down the artist to give them proper credit for it. (I found this on an image search with no accreditation.)

      • Savannah Logsdon-Breakstone
        Savannah Logsdon-Breakstone02-01-2012

        OMG. Can you post, and then I’ll work on converting it to a knitting pattern? *_*

    Ruh-roh… some lots of the pill have been recalled in the US because their dosage may not be adequate: brands are Lo/Ovral and the generic. More info and the lot numbers are in the press release:

      I’m glad it’s not my pill, I’m on it for medical reasons that this would *not* be good for. . .

    For the glittery unicorn love in all of us:

      I love it! I like the font, I like that it’s understated but still gets everything across.

    Ooooh, imma think on this. I would really like to buy a shirt.

    TBGC was having trouble with the comments, so he sent me his suggestion:

    FUCK YEAH JESSICA FLETCHER!

    I would wear a similar, less “vibrant” version all the damn time.

    Also, only the DS9 episodes with at 25% of the time devoted to Odo are worth it. This episode is stupid. Odo was only in the first ten minutes…

    • [E] Slay Belle
      [E] Slay Belle01-31-2012

      Where are you in the series now?

      • mxandb
        mxandb01-31-2012

        Season 2 – about half way.

    • [E]SaraB
      [E]SaraB01-31-2012

      I have to agree. I love me some Rene Auberjonois.

      Odo is the cake. Garek is the frosting.

      • mxandb
        mxandb02-01-2012

        I like Odo and Kira mainly. Garek isn’t around much as of yet. And every time Bashir speaks, I want to slap him and say “Shut Up Bashir! The adults are talking.”

         

        • LittleOrangeElephant
          LittleOrangeElephant02-01-2012

          I never liked Kira on my first watch when it aired back in the day but she’s really quite growing on me as I re-watch it all now – she’s one of my favorites now. Bashir, however, hasn’t improved. Thankfully they toned him down a bit after the first season and he’s less obnoxious.

    No bullshit, I would wear a T-shirt with this on it every day.

    This is why I am not in charge of the design team.

    • mxandb
      mxandb01-31-2012

      Gelatin Salads! OMG.

      (also opossums are terrifying – this is very conflicting…)

      • [E]SaraB
        [E]SaraB01-31-2012

        I had one sniff my foot once. I almost peed my pants.

          Just reading that made me feel nearly the same…

          I once made a wine bag out of an intact opossum skin- I even added red glass beads for the eyes, and got some real fangs to sew in to the mouth. You drank out of the mouth and you changed the bottle of wine out the ass flap. It was a wedding present for a friend.

          It was their favorite wedding present, even 3 years later.

      I would love to see this embroidered on a polo shirt. Like the Lacross alligator, but a menacing opossum instead.

      • [E]SaraB
        [E]SaraB01-31-2012

        I don’t know what it is about this guy, but I have loved him since I first saw him.

        • LilCrow

          I would so wear this.

    • Monica
      Monica01-31-2012

      I would wear this. Or buy a poster of it. It cracks me up every time I look at it.

      • wannabemusicologist
        wannabemusicologist02-01-2012

        I love the poster idea!! It would look awesome framed in my kitchen! (Which has kind of an opossum theme going on-just kidding!!)

    • [E]SaraB
      [E]SaraB02-01-2012

      Now that I’m looking at it, I think I would change the text to “Your home for questionable food and menacing opossums.” It flows a little better.

      I love this. I laughed SO hard when I saw this and read the comments.

      I love this! I would totally wear this shirt.
