Woah, that is AWESOME! :) You'll have to let us know what kind of reaction you get out of that one. Cute shirt!

God bless...

I WANT ONE!!!

George is releasing his inner 'pinko.' ;-) This is my new favourite pic of you. Good on ya!

Pink is your color girlie!

I love ALL of the pictures! You are so funny and pretty!

I think it would be funny to wear this shirt out into Kerryland and have George follow you with the camera and get some reaction shots!

Love this post :o)

Thanks for the pictures. It really brightened my morning (and not because of the "shocking" pink!).

I have to vote for BRAWNY as my favorite, although the one below it, really mad, was a little scary. And speaking of scary, your shirt may come in handy in a few weeks if you feel pressed upon to dress up for Halloween.

You could go as "A Liberal's Worst Nightmare".

And to further accessorize your outfit you could get some thousand dollar bills (stuffed in your pockets) with Dick Cheney's picture in the middle and "In Halliburton We Trust" below the picture. Don't forget the big stogie/cigars that fat-cat Republicans have dangling out of their mouths, and the big army boots used to crush the poor.

Gee, I really like the 'Really Mad' and 'Innocent'! You are a woman of many faces ;)

That shirt makes you look really young.

Love the 'brawny' pose, though.

Love the pictures! Thanks for brightening my morning.

Cute. Is that you? You look like a 12 year old?

I heard there are some Republican NAACP Chapter leaders around the world. One or two. One I think is outside Los Angeles.

I love it! After seeing these pics, now we all know why you're constantly having to field the obnoxious "How old are you, anyway" questions!

Your "negative effects of espresso" reminded me of a great scene (among many) in "The Iron Giant". Something about those photos makes me think that you guys were no less wound up than Hogarth was. Drink lots of water to avoid the caffeine-rebound headache!

Thanks for the day-brightener.

Oh my goodness... if you are in your 20s I feel like I am in my 70s!

Cute pictures with a startling (for Seattle) statement. If anyone hassles you, let me know and I'll rough them up for you :)

Wear itttt!!! And yeah, Ambra, I thought that was your baby sister, chile.......right out the Middle School yearbook. I'm talkin jailbait; 15'll bring you 20. Forreal.

And tell me that they come in other than "Hot Pink", though I might wear it as is. (Hmmm....would that make me gay?)

On 2nd thought, they got it in black? Or Black & blue, maybe? You know, some kinda non-girly man colors.......I live near South Beach.

you's a FOOL, Young!!! You gonna make me put on MY t-shirt....

[sarcasm]I can't tell everyone with what joy I receive your assertions that I look 12-years-old[/sarcasm]

Okay, my secret's out. When I dress down and wear my hair up, I look like a teenager. Hence, the wearing down of the hair.

But don't let my demeaner fool you. I'm fierce. My favorite pics are the mad/really mad ones. To understand the full hilarity, you have to hear me growling too.

Thanks everyone for your kind words! Ya'll make a blogger feel good. I'm thinking at this point the company behind this shirt (Church Clothes) owes me an endorsement deal.

Feedback
Janna: I shall report my findings.
Rikki: Yeah and it's a good quality shirt too. Made in the USA. Oh wait. Well, anyway, it's nice.
Memer: Yeah George never knew he had pink like that.
Jasmin: Didn't you know, pink's the new black? How do you think this would look witha blonde weave?
Donna: You flatter
MarcV: Don't be scared by my manicured claws.
Anthony: I like the mad too. Your name filed under "People I Should Party With"
Alex: Gee thanks.
Michael: MY pleasure!
Angela: Yes that'd be me. I can look older to ya know.
Beau: They've got some nice gear for men too. Although, these days even the rappers are wearing pink. I bow to any guy who can pull it off and still look manly. Just call it "Salmon".
Joan: You would be correct about the age thing. Glad to brighten anyone's day.

When I logged onto your webpage today, I saw the shot before reading the text, and thought it was a photo of you as a schoolchild (until I saw the image on the shirt). Nice guns, BTW. Work out?

Rock the tee and rock the vote.

Don't worry, Ambra, when you're forty and still look twenty, it will make up for all the annoying "how old are you?" questions you're dealing with now.
I wish I were half as brave as you wearing that t-shirt in Seattle. I know you're tough, but I'd be scared! I admire your chutzpah! Oh and I really enjoy your blog. (I'm new here; I found you through Donna's blog)

Ambra....what's "gear"? (KIDDING!!) Hey, you know how it is with us Oreos - I'm actually a white dude, though I'd better just speak for myself. Just-a-draggin authentic black folks into the Keebler Oreo Factory; I should be ashamed of myself. (Do they make Oreos? I should know, huh?)

Speaking of which, I do have a pink striped dress shirt that I wear to work all the time, so I guess I am a real man after all. And a pink towel, too, not to mention........I use the original Caress.

So, as E-40 would say, "You smell me?"

Ciao, little sister.

Bijan: Me as a schoolchild? Good heavens. In any case, my physical shape is shabby. I used to be very good about working out, and now all you see is the 4-year aftermath of somebody who used to be somewhat muscular, but now gets winded going up 5 flights of stairs.

I should be back in step by Spring though hopefully.

Denise: That's what everyone keeps saying. Glad to meet you. Anybody from Donna's gang is a friend of mine.

BRAWNY should have gotten an OLIVE OIL label. Got Spinach?

If dat ain't cuter 'dan shuggity.

Who needs goof-o half nude celebs telling us to vote? We just need more of these tees on hotties like you, and presto!

4 more years.

YOU GO GIRL!!!!!

Extremely cute-- you'll never have to worry about those photos coming out & reflecting badly on you. And, trust me, there are never any negative effects of espresso!!

You're black, you live in Seattle, your neon pink shirt has Bush (but no writing) on it. My bet is that many folks will think you're being ironic, and will assume it's an anti-Bush shirt.

I mean no other writing except the word "Vote" on the shirt. Some folks will think it's a Florida 2000 hint.

I feel your pain, Ambra. I'm about to be 28 and still get mistaken for 19 all the time.

[sarcasm]I just love being mistaken for a schoolgirl.[/sarcasm] I'm considering an Extreme Makeover to get a leg up during salary negotiations.

Well dag Molotov, call me "Funny Girl" and RAIN ON MY PARADE. Whatever the case, if they think twice, I'll be glad.

Byron: Points for using the phrase "shuggity".
Lee: Long time no read! Glad to "see" you.
Jim R.: Are you bussin'?! Ahem, I mean, are you making fun of me?
Tony: Once in college I worked as a "barista" (and fancy word for coffee-making-lackey) and in one shift I inadvertantly had about 15 shots of espresso. Needless to say, I don't need to do drugs to know what a high feels like.
Beau: Yes I "smell" you. And for the record, I ain't no keebler.......Son.

yeah...yeah...yeah...
I just turned 47 and I get mistaken for 45 all the time!

So there!

Ok Ambra, it was a little too harsh. How about OLIVE OIL ON STEROIDS. :-)

I'm feeling a little dense, Ambra: help me out? Why is this post titled, "Sorry Mom"? Is your Mom unhappy with your political leanings, your fashion sense, or both? (hee!) Or is it all the silly pictures?

Speaking as a mom myself, I can't imagine not being completely charmed by such photos of one of my kids -- these are the grown-up equivalent of those pictures of toddlers with chocolate cake smeared all over their glee-filled faces. We know that they really shouldn't be doing it, we know that all that cake and sugar aren't good for them, but they look like they are having such a good time that we can't help but be happy when we look at the pictures.

At least, I can't. I suppose I am an indulgent parent, but since I crack the whip constantly (figuratively speaking, of course!), I figure I'm allowed.

Don't feel dense Joan. Somebody emailed me with that same question. It's titled that because yes, unfortunately, my parents, my mom in particular would be less than thrilled that my face is plastered on the world wide web wearing a Bush t-shirt. She still loves me though.

Arf, arf!!

GrowllllrrrRRRrrr.

{sits up, and begs}

On a more serious note: run with it, girl! You're cute as all get-out, and (decked out in that hot pink fashion statement) you'll be "misunderestimated" by all the squishy lib'ruls in the Northwest.

Little do they know that, behind the pink and cuddly is the fast'n'furious...

Heh.

Okay, pink tees make you look 8 years old!

I think you look great. I am sure good choices and righteous thinking explains your youthful appearance, just as the lack of either explains others aged condition.
