2014/15? So long typing I missed tbt, but I'm gonna post it anyways cuz its fun, cool, and true.
My brain at The Dollhouse said- "WHY IS IT??? that we Haleyites-- don't have a T-Shirt or a tourist T, or stickers, or Anything --when most of the tourists have to come through here to get anywhere..
( & Gigi love - Back then, the chamber tried just stickers, so they do get props)I personally was looking at a more trendy vibe.
But back in the day, Hailey & Bellevue were the unwanted ugly little stepchildren in the valley.. So I thought if no one else is gonna do it, I'll try. & now----2026
How things have changed.... I only need one t now and moody of y'all know it..
Things like the distance& lower income 💲💲 that put Hailey and Bellevue behind Ketchum and Sun Valley in some people's minds - that just made the need for SV T's more important & more fun to me
Then - 💣I met the owners of . WORD!!!!!
We chatted, I told them my idea, and we were off to the tracks. 🤘✨️💥
-
2014, I think they had just moved to town? But more importantly, I explained the vision that I wanted to see. I wanted a kick ass skull over Idaho on a black t (of course), they picked it up & nailed it the first time. I mean 👀 at that paper bag. Totally Rad! So THEY made numbered T's limited editions, & I sold them out. DUDES - WE WERE SO FAR AHEAD OF OUR TIME. We COLLABORATED & ROCKED IT!
--- REMEMBER--didn't have mass options of the net to create back then. NO CANVA.
& to be honest, I'd rather collaborate old school with a paper and a sharpie anytime, but that's just me. So there's your old school story - I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot of Hailey T-shirts floating around at some point. Soon, so you're welcome -😉
Kk-- goodnight peeps & my South valley.
Big love 💖 xoxo
