Food Porn Friday at Slice of Life Tees
When we’re looking for great, sexy shots of food (aka food porn) there’s one site we look at first: Smitten Kitchen. Each incredibly sexy image is presented with an array of stunning photos clearly presenting step-by-step instructions. They have provided us with dozens of mouth watering moments. In fact, they are responsible for one of the great addictions we have here at Slice of Life Tees – home made English muffins. It was their recipe that we found a few years ago, and we still use it today. Well, this week’s shot...

Googa Mooga (a NYC food fair) is going on this weekend. How something I didn’t even know about until 2 days ago has come to occupy my entire consciousness is meat for another post – Friday is all about Food Porn. We’re desperately seeking tickets for Googa Mooga, so I’ve scoured the web at various foodie sites – it still amazes me the sheer amount of food lovers that are out there now, and the diversity is amazing. We noticed a post over on Googa Mooga’s FB page that one kind soul was having a contest for 2...

Here at Slice of Life, we seem to spend all of our time either slaving away in the kitchen or designing new t-shirts with our foodie friends in mind. While we love our time in the kitchen (honestly, Punk slaves in the kitchen, I just do dishes), it’s the design time I get really excited about. We just unveiled “Food Porn Star”, our newest shirt, back from the printer. Next up will probably be “Bad Ass Baker”, a biker themed baker’s tee. After that? Well, we’ve got a bunch of stuff lined up:...

No, really…. how are we doing so far? We’ve been open since february, and we’re working hard to get the word out. But we need to know what we’re doing right, and what we’re doing wrong. We figured the most logical people to ask would be you. One of the first questions is the web site. We plan on taking all new product pictures for the store this weekend, and are considering reworking the site – maybe a lighter, cleaner look. What about the site as it is now, though? Is it easy to use, to get around? Legible?...
read moreSlice of Life Tees: Watch It on Wed.
We’ve just decided that every Wednesday we’ll be posting a video. It may apply to foodies, or to t-shirts, or cooking. Or, as is the case with this one, it may not! This is a music video by Jamie Cullum – we think he’s awesome. There’s a simplicity, and a strange joy, about this video that makes it one we could watch over & over.

One of the challenges we’ve faced as we’ve been getting SLICE of LIFE Tees off the ground is getting the word out. The most successful (and least expensive!) method of that currently is social media – Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Tumblr, etc. Facebook was easy – we’ve been using that for years. Twitter has taken some getting used to, and there are still a few small things we’re not entirely sure we’re doing right, but overall, we like it. We’ve got, and never use, a Tumblr account. And LinkedIn?...
