potw: hilarious

i've posted about all kinds of different letterpress cards, colors and printing treatments over the years, but i've never tipped my hat to the more lighthearted ones.

and these are just a sampling of what's out there.

it's monday and if you're in the dc area, you're probably melting away, so i thought a little humor would be just the thing. 

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6

those arrested development ones are killing me.

looking for more letterpress goods? check out my press of the week series here. a new potw is posted (almost) every monday. but you can always find the latest by following me on twitter. 

a huge mistake

lucille bluth is one of my all-time favorite characters. 

i was introduced to arrested development by my little brother. i was home for the holidays one year during college and we were both up late. he mentioned the show to me and we started watching it. i loved it immediately.

it's one of those shows i can put on anytime, and i'm so pumped for its return next year.

so as an homage to my girl lucille, i created some outfits inspired by the woman who loves gene parmesan so much.

this first look is from an episode called public relations, which has one of my all-time favorite lines of the whole series (if you don't get the klimpy's reference, watch it here). 

classic lucille.

below on the left-hand side, we have a more affordable version of her look. on the right, we're going all out, using only items lucille herself would actually buy. 

less expensive version: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6
lucille's version: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6

let's keep it going with the second look from another one of my favorite episodes: pier pressure. there are so many good lines from this episode, it's a goldmine of quotable moments.

this little zinger she throws out to her daughter lindsay is one of the best.

less expensive version: 1 | 2 | 3 (sold out) | 4 | 5
lucille's version: 1 | 2 (sold out) | 3 | 4 | 5 

ah, motherboy. who wouldn't get excited for the prospect of dressing up in creepy mother-son getups? lucille's lovin it.

and i love her mood in this scene from the motherboy xxx episode. so unnaturally giddy.

less expensive version: 1 | 2 (sold out) | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6
lucille's version: 1 | 2 (sold out)| 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 

there you have it. an couple of outfits perfect for roaming around balboa towers or whatever else the day may bring.
