Oh, Festa Stuff, you had such potential. I'm always on the lookout for Virginia-specific tees because I have yet to find the perfect one, although the not-ironic one from the Cat and Girl shop was pretty dang close.

But nooo, you have no Virginia tee! And even worse, the Southern Girl tee, which would be my fallback, is dreck! Shall I quote?

Southern Girls! Here's your chance to tell the world you're...

"sweet, sassy, charming, classy, sundress-wearing, sweet-tea-drinking, bright, beautiful, belle-of-the-ball..."

...and the bottom of the shirt says, "do i look like i drive a pickup truck???"
(And if you do drive a pickup truck, more power, respect!)

Really? Sundresses? "Belle of the ball"? I won't complain about the sweet tea drinkin', I've done my fair share. The rest is generic. And the bottom, with the lame-ass pickup truck line? Hey, this is the bottom of the Kentucky Girl tee: "peace * love * horses * bourbon * basketball * bluegrass." See how much better that is? Still lame, but BETTER. The brainstorming session for the Southern Girl tee must not have generated too much electricity. East Coast Girl isn't exactly great, either.

So, uh, anyway . . . I was disappointed. But thanks for trying.

P.S. I really should have known better after spotting Trust Fund Girl and Country Club Girl. Sometimes I'm a little slow.

P.P.S. I know there are other things worth mentioning here, girl vs. woman and gender stereotyping etc., but I really don't think you're the sort of company to care, and also, this is supposed to be a fluffy post, so it will wait.
