Just in time for Pride month, Lena found this lovely 1st Battalion Transvestite Brigade: Airborne Unit t-shirt. Now before anyone gets upset with me for using the term transvestite (again), this shirt is drawn from an Eddie Izzard routine in Dress to Kill, and Izzard is, of course, a self-identified transvestite himself.
Were you surprised?
I was surprised.
Which are lines that Betty & I use on a regular basis at home.
& Yes, I’ve already ordered one for myself, even if I already missed wearing it to Brooklyn Pride.
It’s cute, but I’m pretty sure Eddie doesn’t get a dime for this.
He’s been ripped off by t-shirt companies for several years now. I think he’s given up trying to stop it.
I wish his own merchandise was a bit more ‘hip’, but it isn’t. You might want to check with his merch. site to ask if he’s okay with it before you buy. They’re pretty good about returning e-mails.
