Nice t-shirts & tanks from a sweatshop-free company. Their style is all about empowering the customer when they wear their clothing. “Make a statement and life and the human experience through your choice of apparel,” they say. A tall statement indeed—what a great concept. All t-shirts have poetic phrases coupled with unique and sometimes abstract art. Below is their Independence t-shirt.

A note on the repuation of the stores featured:
Playboy Store - totally reputable, obviously. Until searching I didn’t even know they sold so much stuff, alas I’m impressed.
Costume Craze - Extremely high customer satisfaction rate at BizRate (86% positive), quick delivery
Pierre Silber - was one of our favorites as you can tell, is the self-proclaimed “sexiest Halloween store in the world”, as of 2006 has served over 100,000 customers, has a retail storefront in Cupertino, CA
Fredericks of Hollywood - you’ve probably seen them in the mall, but now you have the convenience (and the privacy of shopping with them online)
Fright Catalog - Has been in the business for 6 years, has a HUGE selection of all types of Halloween accessories, etc. Not just standard costumes.Very cool site–can spend hours on there!
Half Price Costumes - these guys are a little new to the scene, but have great prices and a huge selection. Free shipping over $70—not bad!
Get one of these head-turning costumes to avoid the last minute stress of finding the perfect outfit. Better order fast before the inventory runs out!

I wouldn’t normally recommend a cell phone ring tone service, but this one seems to be one of the top ones out there. All the tones are well categorized into different song genres and sound effect types, and there’s an easy way to check to see if you phone is campatible with their service (something you should definitely check out before you spend too much time clicking around). Each ring tone is really cheap (most seem to be $0.67), so give it a look. From Gnarles Barkley tunes to the wacky sound effects like a quacking duck–this is a solid contender to impress folks with your new rings.
