3rd place in Derby #145: Spring, with 801 votes!

It’s funny how things work out sometimes. Take today’s shirt, for example. This shirt, baring the image of a Japanese cherry blossom tree that has long been a symbol of mortality, is being sold on Mother’s Day, a time when we normally celebrate birth and nurturing. How crazy is that? It’s like we’ve completed some kind of grand circle with your Derby votes.

And, in a way, it works out perfectly. By recognizing the short span of time we have here on the Mortal Coil, we can then take the time to tell the mothers in our lives just how important and loved they are before our time is up.

Wow. Just wow. When you stop and think about how fate has brought this shirt and Mother’s Day together, it really makes you marvel at the universe, doesn’t it?

Or you can add it to your wardrobe and wear it to the next Emo concert. Whatevs.

Wear this shirt: while pondering the fleeting nature of life.

Don’t wear this shirt: on Mother’s Day. Sure, you can BUY it today, but Mom might think it’s a bit of a downer.

This shirt tells the world: “When there is no room left in Hell’s Greenhouse, the dead trees shall grow from the Earth.”

We call this color: Asphalt Blossom
