Site Update, New Anti-Bush Designs

July 31, 2005 at 11:09 am · Filed under Lekker Politics, Lekker Shop Updates

I added a bunch of new stuff in the past few days. My husband Jason made a real cool painted design we’re calling Dirty Bush. He modified a vintage poster to create this design.. This design features a black and white photo of Vice President Dick Cheney with a red CORRUPT stamp on top. Another new anti-Bush design reads “The only Bush I trust is my own” in fun, retro inspired lettering in blue, pink or multi colored.

I have updated the site design of Lekker Politics and Lekker Bride in the past week or so. Hopefully they are a little more user friendly.

MY old Kerry Swag on ebay

July 21, 2005 at 1:58 am · Filed under Randomness

So I was searching around ebay today and find this. It’s one of the first shirts I designed last year when Lekker Politics was called Kerry Swag. 69 cents though… Really weird though. I would love to see one on there 10 years from now though. Maybe then it will be worth $6.90.

New “Pop Daisy Bride” Collection

July 20, 2005 at 10:03 pm · Filed under Lekker Bride, Lekker Shop Updates

I have added a new collection called Pop Daisy Bride to Lekker Bride. It’s a sleek and simple design with a tone on tone design of a daisy in a rounded rectangle, with the word “bride” in the lower corner. It’s available in 6 colors – pink, blue, green, lilac, orange & grey. I have a few more designs to be added in the next few days… stay tuned.

I am in the process of updating the site as well, expanding our personalization offerings and adding a bunch of new designs. And then there’s a new shop in the works, stuff to add to Lekker Politics… Seriously, there aren’t enough hours in the day! I have a mile long “to do” list.

Eight Things A Credit Card User Should Know

Eight Things A Credit Card User Should Know
I just watched the Frontline special “The Secret History of the Credit Card” and am cranky as hell. You can watch it online.

Luckily we’re working off on paying all our debt, but it still pisses me off. I mean, if you are able to pay off the balance each month, the benefits can be great - air miles especially. But the thing is, who can really do that? So many of us have had cards since college and are carrying around an average of 8 grand in debt. To get there, you have to do what we did. Close all your accounts and just start paying all you can. But it is really hard. They raise your rates if you stop using your cards. You have to get used to living on cash, which can be tough.

But, as an online retailer, I depend on credit cards to make my living, so maybe I should pipe down.

And if you haven’t seen it yet, you can watch “Is Wal-Mart Good for America”. I am proud to be Wal-Mart free for well over 2 years. If only I could get the Target monkey off my back…
