Is That a Hybrid or Are You Just Happy to See Me T-shirt

It’s reassuring that edgier girls, even when they become moms, can look to Rudechix tees for a little self-reverential, sassy fun. A phenomenon that hit big from its very first chops busting attitude tee in 2004 (“I’m Cuter Than You”), Rudechix is hotter and ruder than ever with a new series of to-die-for tee collections, including The Tattoo Line, The Environmental Line, The Bitter Waitress Collection and The Baby Surf Collection.

The fantastically inventive Sherry Mattson, owner and president of the company, is all about creating something beyond the typically prosaic one-liner. Besides earning a place as a cult fashion item, especially for the alterna-mom and her wild child, people are also cooing over the tees for their high quality ultra-soft cotton and because they are made in Los Angeles—never in sweat shops.

Rudechix receives strong ovations for straight-up righteous statements like “recycle dammit,” “my mommy’s tattoos are sick” and “I really don’t care how you like your eggs.” As a t-shirt fanatic, I’m hooked and plan to snap up a bunch more. When I wore mine from The Environmental Line, a lot of people wanted to know where I got it so they could get one, too. The fit is great and the shirt maintains its shape after repeated washings. Tees are priced at $20 for kids and $25 for adults.

Most importantly, I like the spirit of Rudechix, created especially for a provocative, empowered female who is cool and fun enough to express herself openly. The Rudechix motto? “You Think It, Dare To Say It.”

Why not? Especially when it looks and feels so damn good.

"Decaf Tastes Like Ass" T-Shirt

By Rudechix

The Rudechix line is all about honesty – letting your t-shirt/tank top/underwear say what you are too polite to say. Ranging from "I'm Cuter than You" to "Getting Tattoos When I'm 18" baby-wear, the clothes are funky, fun, and full of attitude. They are ideal for women who are tired of the old adage, "Sugar and spice and everything nice."

When my t-shirt came in the mail, I was very excited. Inside a coffee cup was the commentary, "Decaf Tastes Likes Ass." Red so soft it's almost pink, the shirt was pretty and biting at the same time.

Unfortunately, I did not get my chance to model it for the neighborhood. While this reviewer does not shop in plus-size stores, the XL tee was surprisingly small. Naturally, as a feminist, I was disappointed. I had requested an XL to be safe – surely XL women are not this size! I was forced to give it to my younger sister, who normally wears smalls and mediums.

The idea and style are both fantastic; my only hope is that Rudechix will realize that chunky girls have something to say too.
