1)What was your inspiration which became the Iconic poster 'POVERTY SUCKS', and can you remember the day it was decided?
It was originally my Christmas Card and as I recall we came up with the idea in October or November 1976
2)What is the funniest memory or occasion that came from this poster?
When I was trying to borrow $1,000,000 to open the first Champions Sports Bar I walked into a Bank and the president had the poster on the wall in his private office.
3)If you could name 5 interesting people you would like to meet or have met who would they be?
Marilyn Monroe, Jim Thorpe, Red Grange, Lou Gehrig and Buster Crabbe.
4)What's your favorite song?
"We are the Champions" by Queen
5)Would The Emperor's New Clothes be able to have you wear one for us??!!!
Not sure I understand but yes I would.
6)Would you say the Poster that so many people can readily recognize change your life in any way after it became famous?
I brought me a lot of attention and publicity which complimented my continuing success. I also made a great business/baseball card.
7)What makes you happy now?
Working out at the gym, collecting antique cars and Samurai swords plus simply relaxing in the privacy of my home.
8)Will you design a T shirt for us?
I would be happy to if I ever have another inspiration.


Funny guy, Justin Lee Collins is planning a reunion between cast members of the 1985 classic kids adventure movie, The Goonies.  Justin commented 'I love the Goonies, it was one of my favourite films from the 80's, I've always wanted to find out what happened to them all'.  The film starred Corey Feldman and Jeff Cohen as 'Chunk'.  Justin said 'Apparently Chuck is a high flying lawyer now, so who knows what the others are doing?'. Here is Justin wearing our 'I make good babies' T-shirt.

So, we hate to say we told you so…BUT...we did predict this! The team here at ENC are very happy to say that another contestant who wore one of our T-shirts on the show has won American Idol! (The other was David Cook).  Its now safe to say, our T-shirts are officially good luck to all aspiring American Idol contestants. Get yours now!  Its the only way to guarantee a win...


Hairy situation...

ENC :: Hair ColorHair is such a funny thing. With a slight change in cut, color and even only the way you wear it, it changes your face completely. I've had bangs since I can remember, and I always have them well groomed and in perfect condition. A couple of weeks ago, I had an event at RDV, one of the most exclusive and well hidden bars in the city, and as I was rushing to get ready I didn't have time to blow dry my bangs and to do all my 20 min process for them to look great. So I decided to just pin them up and go out like that. As I walked to the table, many of my friends had to look at me twice before knowing it was me because my face looked so different.
