  • Don’t High-Hat the Monkey T-shirts!

    Now available in the Skepchick store: Don’t High-Hat the Monkey tees! I made one style for guys (shown below the fold in dark olive) and three for the ladies: one regular women’s tee with black and white graphics, and two in AA Junior’s (one is shown below in raspberry). I happen to prefer the AA because they’re more fitted, but…
