Fashion Collides with HaitiPosted by holaratcha in christian culturism, jesus stuff On Jan 25th, 2010
I Hate Church says “thank you” to the people (see end of post) who make this Haiti campaign move. Your support of GesuCristo and our tshirt initiative puts life in a new light, with a whole new cast and crew. It is much more exciting – like drinking Coca Cola for the first time – finding those fizzy bubbles somehow go through your nose and into your brain. One time in a dark galaxy far, far away, someone approached me and asked me the all encompassing “life” question. He said, “if you could do anything in the world and not be paid, what would it be?” Yes, I would like to buy a shirt NOW, CLICK ME.
I was completely caught off guard, as the following answers that came to my head will reveal. I remember the following things popping in my head:
This is what I came up with. I know it sounds cheesy and Oprah_esque. Nevertheless, this was where I landed and this is the direction I am heading. The next question I had to ask myself was “How the #$%# is this going to happen?” In a crazy, Jersey Shore-realityness, it happens just about every 24 hours.
This Haiti campaign is a beautiful piece of art. I feel like I am watching in slow-mo as the initial layout takes place. Paints are chosen, canvas is being worked and the frame is microscopically chosen. We are in the early stages but the momentum is powerful. Even now as local retailers stock GesuCristo Haiti shirts we can see the goal clearly. Together we are able to build a grassroots movement in an unlikely place… Tinley Park, Illinois. One day we can check back on our Facebook, Twitter, American Express statements and say:
“When you were naked, we were there to clothe you, when you were without food, we were able to feed you. When you were looking for somewhere to sleep, we were able to provide shelter.”
