lkh_lashoutsOne of my friends IM'd me and we got to discussing Kim Harrison vs LKH - he was feeling all special that Harrison replied to his guestbook entry, and then I lead him to the trauma of the scary LKH image on the official site.
That's when he pointed out the Micah merch:
The question to me was, "When did Micah get wolf eyes?"
...to be honest, he totally has a point. I mean, I can see that it's meant to be leopard eyes, but only if a leopard suddenly skipped over into the canine family and started to stalk pigs and little girls in red. I'm also kinda disturbed by the "Whatever you need" part of the slogan.
I had a bit of a look over on the rest of the shirt range. Ohhh, boy.
For people who are traumatised by the repetitive phrases in the books - you can now get your own Incubus Dreams tour shirt! The slogan isn't about candy, but it's probably the number two most irksome phrase that gets thrown around: "...sweet copper pennies on my tongue."
There are "Asher slept here" and "Jean-Claude slept here" shirts - though, if either of them came over to my house, there really wouldn't be any sleeping going on. And if you take the shirts like those "you are here" signs, it would mean that Asher/JC curled up and went to sleep on your chest. Uhh, a four kilo cat was heavy enough, kthx. Vampires can have the end of the bed.
...and scrolling down, you can see LKH modelling shirts herself. And Jon.
From a design standpoint, I really don't like the fonts on any of the shirts. I keep thinking that I, or my friends, could come up with something classier over a weekend with photoshop and iron-on transfers.
