Crazy Critters and the Downtown Asheville Hurricane of Vintage T-shirts

I recently went downtown Asheville with a hamper of my finest Skippy Haha Vintage t-shirts.

Alli Marshall of Asheville StreetStyle had arranged for local rock band The Critters to meet up and shoot a video for their song "Visions of Light."

The rough concept was for them to try on a shirt, come through the Flat Iron, pose for the camera, go around back, take it off and try on another shirt, ad infinitum, until the hamper was empty. Something sped-up and lighthearted like the intro to the Monkees TV show.

What actually happened was, as the Mountain Xpress said - total mayhem. It was a hurricane of t-shirts, a t-shirt-ornado. No one could have been prepared for the energy and enthusiasm displayed by those Critters.

Here is the video, expertly edited by Steve Shanafelt of the Mountain Xpress. You can see me at the end, as shirts are being flung into the trees of Wall Street, silently screaming in my head "AAAAACKKK! My precious heirlooms! Save my precious heirlooms!"

No really, it was fun. Really fun. It was all over in under 10 minutes. I came home and washed all the shirts.

Dirty Dancing

This week Hollywood is buzzing over the possibility of a remake of the 1987 classic movie, "Dirty Dancing."

This t-shirt is authentic and original from 1987.

So now you too can carry a watermelon and dance the Pachanga and put Baby in the corner.

Incidentally, much of the movie was filmed in beautiful Lake Lure, North Carolina.

A whole slew of vintage dancing shirts can be found here.
