I’m proud to say that today we made it official, Barack H. Obama became our 44th President. I welled up a bit when President Obama said; “We have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord…Starting today, we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin again the work of remaking America.” Ah new beginnings, bold new beginnings indeed; here’s to the future and to America.

James Anthony Apparel presents an artistic revival of the popular “ANITA SUCKS FRUITS” Tshirt of the late 70′s, developed to counter Anita Bryant’s campaign of hatred towards the LGBT community and equal rights (think this is ancient history, think again). The updated version of this historic image is printed on a 100% Cotton shirt with Ms. Bryant’s freshly PIED face on the back and the words “ANITA SUCKS FRUITS” on the front angled on the waistline. All inks used are non-toxic and cured to avoid fading or running of colors/imagery. The proceeds of the sale of this shirt go to the LGBT Community Center in New York City and the Human Rights Campaign. Available in mens and womens sizes s/m/l/xl; a great conversation starter indeed. To purchase a shirt, please visit any of the following; Best selling author Augusten Burroughs official site, or James Anthony’s Etsy store or his myspace page.
