True Love Memphis Style
19 May
There are a few things that I have a total weakness for.
Kittens.
Unicorns.
Yard sales.
French fries.
Memphis.
And Justin Timberlake.
So my heart went aflutter when I saw this shot of my homeboy, JT, wearing a vintage inspired Memphis Tigers shirt.
Anyone know where I can find one?
I want. I need.
Any tips on how to remove that thing
leached onto his right hand would be fine too.
In exchange, I leave you with this video of Justin,
which is from my family’s personal home video collection.
It was taken at a talent show in Memphis back in the early 90s.
Oh yeah.
We go way back.
There’s this shop on Highland that is really hit or miss called Tiger Gift Shop and I suspect that’s where Justin’s shirt comes from. It’s where that trophy store was for many years; I think the owners are the same. They’re the official t-shirt press of the Tigers, and they design the clothes themselves. Some of their stuff is really ugly, but some of it is really cute- plus it’s not mass marketed, so it’s exclusively Memphis both in style and in literal location. April got this super cute sweatshirt from there, and once I saw this long, super thin scoop neck grey t-shirt that was SO nice-looking. I can’t believe I didn’t buy it!
ill go look for you sarah! i know right where that store is! i might get one too!
you are ridiculous.
i have one and now i am going to burn it
I have a friend who is STILL obsessed with this shirt. She carries a pic around in her phone so she can show people. Any more leads on where to find?
