Ask, and you shall receive! Here is a pattern for a Sith version of the extremely popular M4P party shirts we posted yesterday… just for you guys who prefer to party it up today instead (You HAVE heard of Revenge of the Fifth, right?)! I have not had time to make an actual shirt of this pattern yet, so if you make one, please send a picture to us and I will post it here! (remember it is a family blog though!)
Here at the May “the Fourth be with You” Party Blog, we have spent all weekend making food and decorations for this year’s Big Party. Before that, we spent 6 months posting ideas from previous parties. On our blog, you’ll find lots of inter-galacticly fun ways of celebrating the 4th. We have more foods and craft ideas than you can shake Lightsaber at at…. (that last one was a typo, really, but I thought it was appropriate so I am keeping it in)
People are always wearing cool T-shirts to our M4Ps. But, I have to admit I always enjoy the homemade ones the most. (I also like the DIY costumes the best too. It is just so much fun seeing what people can make with some duct-tape, foam, spray pain, fabric and lots of imagination)
Amy, artist extraordinaire, designed, and made her custom shirts. (She is an illustrator, designers, crafter and just all around amazing artist – you should check her other work out here: amyblandford.com. It will TOTALLY blow you away)
Today, I learned a new phrase (from wookieepedia) that I think I will use often:
Blue Milk Run.
It is used when explaining something that should be super simple. Bantha milk was easily available all over the galaxy, and going to pick some up was never a problem, so among military personnel the phrase came to mean an easy mission. Kyle Katarn tells Jaden Korr about the Mission to Tatooine: This should be a total blue milk run, kid. But it’ll give you a chance to pick up some negotiating skills. Let’s head to Tatooine.
When you are a little padawan, like our son, you get away with wearing your favorite shirt (Darth Vader shirt with cape) anywhere – even in church – and people will think it is really cute. When you reach adulthood, not so much. I have heard of guys wearing their Wookie bathrobe pretty much all the time….or that original, tattered 70s t-shirt….or those favorite Star Wars PJs. My favorite is my green fleece yoda hat (post to come!). If our daughter let me, I would wear it every single day when I drop her off at school in the winter. She is a big Star Wars fan, still, she has forbidden me to wear it to her school.
As much as I hate to admit it, sometimes less is more – the Star Wars gear has to be more classy and definitely more subtle! So for that job interview, when you are getting married, or are meeting your girlfriend’s parents for the first time, here are some suave, stylish gear that will still let you have a bit of Star Wars fun:
Black Friday! GAAAAH! Many of us are not quite ready to start thinking about Christmas shopping yet. But just in case you are a planner, and want some tips on what to give your wife or girlfriend, here is the post for you.
…I am going to assume that you have already bought the jewelry, decided against the vacuum cleaner, and just need something little extra, something personal and fun. Something that either A. shows you want to support her interests, or B. want to gently nudge her towards yours…
If it is B and she does not looooove Star Wars (I know, that happens!), she should still appreciate these nice, decidedly NON-traditional designs from welovefine.com.
(And hint, they have some really cool men’s and unisex ones too. Don’t tell my hubby, I am getting him this one for Christmas!)
