Wheels Within Wheels

There has been lots of ins and outs for Pandora Apparel recently. As of writing we stand at 359 fans on our Facebook fanpage, which we are very excited about and also very inspired by the support! We will announce the 2 winners of our super cool awesome give away on Friday after we draw the winning names from over 150 entrants and we hope the winners will enjoy their free gift! Our Twitter account is also coming along nicely with currently 140 followers. We at Pandora Apparel had never used Twitter before embarking on our adventure and so there has been growing pains involved in our usage of the medium. At first we didn't understand it, then we thought it was nonsense but now we've come to love it!

Our quest to find a supplier continues daily. This has proven quite a journey. First we needed to learn what kind of t shirts we wanted. Did we want them screen printed? Did we want our own tags? And just what is origination? But after visiting a number of websites and getting some quotes we settled into the jargon of the process and decided what we wanted in a t shirt printer. Namely, we want quality! The best quality we can afford so you can have a long lasting t shirt and one with a design that doesn't fade or crack after a few washes resulting from spilled pints and curries. In pursuit of this goal we investigated a number of suppliers and the ones that have stood out for us so far are Storenvy and Bar One. We're currently in discussions with both suppliers to see which one will give us the better deal!

We also looking into the possibility of getting bags made for our more discerning fans. The supplier for these bags is in Poland so Monika has been taking care of things on that end. They are organic and the designs Monika has concocted for them are pretty awesome if I do say so myself. Once we finalise the design of the bags we just might give you a sneak pick on our Facebook page. Pandora Apparel bags; perfect for putting all your Pandora Apparel tees in!

Remember to stay tuned to our Facebook page for more giveaways in the future and more t shirt designs! Hoot Hoot!

From The Wise Owl's Tall Tales

Once upon a time, when the streets of New York were home to beatniks and Bob Dylan, the Concorde was nearly ready to fly and My Fair Lady won Best Picture at the Oscars, Pandora found herself with new freedom after escaping from the housewife that kept her in a cage. She was revelling in her liberty and swooping and soaring all around the city trying to find her way back to the forest. She had just glimpsed the tops of the trees in the distance when all of a sudden she heard the most interesting sound she had ever heard! She looked around her to find that she was in the middle of Greenwich Village and filled with curiosity she stopped her journey home and followed her ears.

After a short flight she found herself outside the window of the loft in a small, rundown apartment building. She peered inside and saw where the wonderful sound was coming from. A young man was sitting on a chair, playing guitar and creating the most astounding blues Pandora had ever heard (the wise owl knew what great blues was, as she had spent some time down by the bayou listening to blues legends like Robert Johnson and Blind Lemon Jefferson in the 1920's and 1930's.)

The window was open so she flew silently inside and perched on a guitar stand. The young man didn't notice her until she hooted in appreciation of his music. He was very, very surprised when he saw an owl sitting in his loft and even more surprised when she spoke to him.

"The music you play is amazing but it would be even more astounding if you combined it with pop music" - said the owl staring at the young guitarist with her big yellow eyes.

The man was absolutely dumbstruck and couldn't manage to say one word. Before he had a chance to recover his composure, Pandora flew away and continued her way home to the forest.

Two years later she witnessed the young man playing at the Montererey International Pop Festival doing exactly as she suggested! Pandora is truly a very wise owl.

To Be Continued....

Do you know who the young guitarist who Pandora met briefly was? If you do you should e-mail the answer to pandoraapparel@gmail.com and we will randomly select three of the people who answer correctly to get a nice surprise! You can send us your answers until midnight GMT on Thursday 3rd of June to enter the competition. We will announce the winners on our facebook page next Friday the 4th of June!
