Hey, did somebody say they wanted to buy a t-shirt? (UPDATE: SOLD OUT) Maybe a sticker or two? Oh awesome because those things can happen now!
“Straddle This” tanks are $20 and v-necks are $23. These little babies were spray-painted by your very own Alex Vega and Miss April Sarah Croce with the L.A. sunset in the distance and hopes and dreams in their hearts. These shirts are special, you guys. See?
Also when we say “little babies” we mean it — we printed these to fit the team with some left over to sell, which means the sizes are small and we only have like 10 of them. But Alex pretty-promises to totally absolutely definitely print more of the t-shirts we sold the first time. This is just a little bonus fun because, as aforementioned, we’re broke and owe the state of Delaware like $800.

“You Do You” stickers are $5, super sexy and also sticky! They look good anywhere, even on the back of your Blackberry. You can also get 3 for $10 and 8 for $20.
Why are they so expensive? Because we’re broke and we haven’t figured out how to fix that yet!
These were produced via Christmakwanzakah miracle! Very special. Everything in our store is very special. You’re special!
I don’t want to alarm anyone, but there’s an extremely limited supply of shirts, so get on it!
Goddammit you guys. I’m probably going to have to buy two plane tickets at the obscene pre-easter price just to get one of my aunts to fucking go home before she starts having people send her mail here, and here you go putting awesome things up for sale that I can’t not buy!
Ah well. With the credit card bill also comes shirts, stickers, and the absence of insane family members.
ALSO! I can’t find any button or anything to add items to my shopping cart. Is there a problem with the website, or do I fail as a consumer? Because if it’s the latter, I wouldn’t be surprised.
Click the item you want, choose the quantity/size and click “add to cart” on bottom right. Click “cart” at top right to check out.
Something’s wrong with my computer, then, because there’s nowhere to click quantity/size or “add to cart.” There’s no words at all, just pictures.
Maybe it’s my internet connection? I hate today. I want to cry.
Right, you have to click on the picture of the item you want. (there’s actually no size options though, there’s just one, so just kidding)
i’m running chrome on a teeny little baby netbook and i don’t have an option to buy either. so maybe we should start a support group?
We should! We can cry on each others shoulders when all the other queermos snap up all the goodies!
Yeah, I did that. There’s a little box that pops up with pictures and I can click “fullscreen” or “detail” but other than that, there are no words at all. There is a blank space on the right that looks like it’s a place where text is supposed to go, but there’s nothing there.
The Gods hate me. That’s the only explanation.
idk you guys. It works for me on firefox/chrome but I’m not using a netbook either.
so far it seems like the netbook is the common denominator for the not working aspect.
Check for updates for your browser.
Or try another browser. Goodsie is wonky, I don’t know what else to do! But I promise these options are there.
Apparently Internet Explorer was the problem! I put it in Compatability View and it let me buy the stickers, but nothing else. So I downloaded Firefox and like magic, everything worked!
Thanks for the browser suggestion! I now have goodies headed my way :D
I’m using Firefox on a laptop and I have the same problem you had, just the pictures and blank space on the right but no link to buy. Do somebody have the same issue or am I just cursed?
I also need one of those tanktops, I hope you’ll make new ones soon!
The price for the stickers at the store is coming up as three for $5 or eight for $10 – is that right, or is the price in the article the price they’re supposed to be?
thanks! it’s been fixed!
In honour of the fact that I just made a spiel in my communications tutorial about supporting independent and local media, I just purchased a tank, because you guys are my favourite independent (if not actually local) media and I have to practise what I preach. Also, I’m hoping it will get me lots of cute girls.
Oh you guyysssss. PleasepleasePLEASE save one of these for two weeks when i get paid! please!
I must be going crazy– I cannot figure out how to add the stickers to my cart.
I bought one of the v-necks when you guys did the first round of grey ones… should I buy another?!
Yeah – it didn’t work on my lil’ netbook, but it worked fine on my regular pc. and i’m not really sure about the technicalities as to why?
but in any case – yes, you should totally buy another v-neck. because your first one is grey – BUT THESE ARE WHITE!
Oops, I accidentally bought the set of 3 stickers for $5 before you changed it :/ Can I send in an extra $5 somehow to make sure I get 3?
Is the international shipping calculator hating anyone other than me?
fixed it
I’m sorry but I placed an order using paypal which has my old address listed. Please let me know if/how I can send my new address!
send it to alex at autostraddle dot com
Oh Hell yes, I am getting paid tomorrow and this is so happening. I hope there are some shirts left by the time I get my check.
I would just like to say that I hope my friends know that this tank is what I want for my birthday. Just sayin’.
I’m going to cry if I miss out on this because of my netbook.
oh hell yes!!!!! it was messing up for me too, so i right clicked on the pic and opened the link in a new window and TA DA!!!!
SO MUCH LOVE!!!
Aw, you guys!! :D
I was just about to send you some money after reading Laneia’s pleas in her formspring thing, and this was the perfect excuse because I get something to show for it. Yay! Thank you for your perfect timing and your spray-painting skills.
THWARTED AGAIN. D: I AM SUCH A FAILURE. UGHHHHHHHHHHHH.
Looks like the tanks and v-necks are sold out and the calendar is cheaper now.
I think sticking a bunch of stickers onto one’s own tank / v-neck is a legit second option though.
Genuinely considered this but went for a calendar instead – ready to represent AS when the time/(shirts) come though!
Laniea, What does that mean…you owe $800 dollars to Delaware?
i think it’s the people who did something relating to us becoming an LLC, whatever that is (this stuff was set up by someone else who isn’t around that much anymore)
Are you sure you need to pay it?
Do you file a state tax return in Delaware?
I’m a little broke so I considered only buying one sticker…but then I was like, fuck it, I love autostraddle and they deserve my money so I opted for the three.
I can’t wait to get stickerssss. :) When I have a job this summer, I will buy a subscription promise. Just like that person above who said the thing about supporting independent media. You are independent media and I have to get serious about supporting you because I love your content!
OMG V-NECKS!!! MARIKA!!! V-NECKS!!!! Maybe I’ll rock one of the tanks at chicago pride this year… In the parade… On my motorcycle… With the dykes on bikes!
It sort of sucks that everything sold out in less than 3 hours. Print more shirts. I need one.
Its sold out D:
You said you would make more though right?
Quick question (if you do make more.) I take a mens small/(xsmall depending)at American apparel, like regular tshirts. Does that mean I would take a mens small for these tanktops?
I GO TO SLEEP FOR TWO POINT FIVE HOURS AND LOOK WHAT I MISS.
#neversleepingagainO.O
#neversleepingagainw/terracottatoes!!!
I mean, as in, I’m never sleeping again either… waahhhhhh!
Inexplicably, I woke up at 3 a.m. and saw a Tweet from AS. Miraculously hauled my carcass out of bed to get my wallet. Only to find them sold out. HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?! I blame the West Coast for being up so damn late while the rest of us are being all responsible and sleeping and stuff.
But I love you guys and really want you to make more t-shirts so I bought a sticker and a calendar. Maybe gorgeous lesbian pictures will make me feel better about this epic fail of thwarted consumerism.
#ITHOUGHTWEHADSOMETHINGREAL
So sad that the tshirts are all gone.
Going naked in protest would be way less upsetting if it wasn’t coming into winter…
I feel like every queer lady in your general vicinity/community would strongly support this activist move. Weather be damned!
i toil all day everyday to buy things like THIS and now they are all sold out. sadness.
the shirts i mean.
Yay I just bought some stickers and a calendar, so I’m super happy now. Thanks AS
In both Firefox and Chrome (even after clearing my cache), I can’t get to the URL, it just keeps redirecting me to google. Anyone have any idea what’s going on? I want to buy stickers!
Whatever the issue was, it’s working now! Hooray!
Okay, I can’t afford a shirt right now (already spent most of my “discretionary” budget this week on beer and books) but I am definitely getting a sticker! Yay.
Just got 3 stickers: one for the car, waterbottle, and ? Perhaps I’ll stick it in a random location. It’d be fun to all get a bunch of these and put up a photo gallery of where we’ve stuck them!
booo I wanted a shirt :(
bummer. I wanted a shirt too. But maybe this bodes well for future clothing based fundraising for autostraddle?
PS – autostraddle, lots of lesbians are lawyers. You couldn’t find some gay girl to do your stuff pro bono? Delaware, home to many corporations. sigh.
damn it, autostraddle. sold out AGAIN. so very sad…
Just bought a calendar, some stickers and donated, and clicked on a bunch of ads… Incorporating is expensive :(
Have you ever thought about doing a cafepress.com store? Seems like the demand is there for it and it could help you make some money. My gf and I would buy/wear tshirts & tanks but we’re not size small.
Here.
Ah. I really should get on Formspring. Thanks.
Normally living is Australia sucks for things AS related due to distance from events… finally it helped! Shirts went on sale at 3pm, prime AS refreshing time at work.
Win!
This. Im in Singapore so Im with you on the “prime AS refreshing”. AS warned us about the shirts since Dinah. Bookmarking AS even at work?! Y/N – Obviously Yes
I get paid next week at which I point I will buy things and donate stuff. :)
I wanted to buy a tank, but it looked like it wasn’t just black text? (like some bluishness or something)… but it’s sold out anyway D:
please print more tanks!
Got some stickers, now to figure out what to stick them to
hmm is there any idea on when ANY shirts or tanks will be available? i just purchased two calendars and some stickers, but i definitly wanna rock a shirt or v neck at pride and rep AS (as most of us do)
Hi friends,
So I started giving out a bunch of these stickers but discovered I’m bad at the explaining what “YOU DO YOU” autostraddle.com means and I promise I’m not being lazy, I’ve totally scoured the googlenet and everything for the link but maybe the flu’s eaten into my brain or that I haven’t spoken to anyone for three days or that I spent aforementioned three days in bed shivering and watching Doctor Who but ANYWAYS,
link to original YOU DO YOU concept answer, plz?
kkthankss,
stiney
