For your Black Friday online shopping consideration

I hope that all of my readers and their family and friends have had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I sincerely would like to believe that no one was without a meal or friends at least for that day.

Friday is of course an entirely different subject. It is a day dedicated to shopping, sales, and getting that one item someone you know will love. It is Black Friday, when retail store pray to be overrun, and shoppers deal with congestion the likes of which they would avoid at any other time of the year.

I realize that every mega-chain, local mom and pop, and online store is competing for your attention today. And I admit I too would like to have you purchase some of my products.

I can't offer television ads, or celebrities hawking my goods. I can't offer discounts that come from being a billion dollar corporation. Nor will I present inferior goods with prices so low you have to question which truck they fell off of.

All I will ask is that my readers, and anyone they would be kind enough to refer, check out Alchemy at World of Vass and World of Vass.

Alchemy at World of Vass

We believe that there is truly something here for everyone, geek or jock, young or old, man or woman, White, Black, Hispanic, or whatever.

Some of our models include sexy and intelligent women like >Juliana Coates, Ashley France, and Christinal Blank. Out male models include the popular Shawn Kennedy, the youthful Dylan Miller and of course our own president - Michael Vass.

"No matter which of our online stores (or both) that you choose to go to I, Michael Vass, can attest to the fact that I personally own many of the products found there. I can personally vouch for the quality and worthiness of every item we provide for sale."

So as you spend your busy day looking for the cheapest whatever on super discount, or the hottest advertised widget or gadget, I ask you to take a moment and support the efforts. Look through our online store. Make a purchase (all items can be delivered to your home before Christmas at this point) or several. And tell your friends bout our online stores.

Your word of mouth is far more valuable to me than the anonymous and less than heartfelt advertising on television and other media.

Thank you for your support. It makes a differnce and helps me to provide the very best I can for all my readers.

Sincerely,

Michael Vass

Remember the Dream - forced to be a dream?

For those that have taken a look at my catalogue, and noticed the Remember the Dream images with models Christina Blank and Tiffany Murphy, I have news. If you have gone to my online store, World Of Vass, you have noticed that the entire designer clothing line is unavailable. That is not by my action.

Cafepress has decided that the depiction of a drawn likeness of the public figure, Dr. Martin Luther King, in conjunction with the rest of the image, is illegal. I disagree.

I believe that Dr. Martin Luther King is a public figure. His image and words are used by millions of people and businesses every year, and especially on his birthday and during Black History Month. He is as visually accessible as President Lincoln, or Mahatma Gandhi, or President Kennedy.

But I am no lawyer (if any are reading this I would love to know the legal standing here). I believe that in a drawn image where Dr. King is not the focus, but included, it is legal and should be available for use. And until I am told otherwise, I will find other means to make this image available to the masses.

I believe that the message of this t-shirt is more important than just the corporate opinion of one group. Let me explain.

Did you notice that all the men, regardless of age, have the same face? Did you notice all the issues that are facing the Black community today in the background? Do you see the relevance of the words of Dr. King and the meaning of what he gave his life trying to attain? And there are more levels to it.

Like my other more political designer clothing lines (Never Again and Stop The Game) there is more at stake than just the look of the clothing.

Maybe I have violated the terms of Cafepress. But to my knowledge, and more importantly for my goal of making a point that can be conveyed visually, I have not violated the thoughts of Dr. King. Keep an eye out, I will find a way to provide this image for sale.

Celebrating my birthday with a re-launch of clothes

Yes, as of 2:41am I broke the barrier on 41. I think I look decent for my age. Plus I wanted to talk about something different than the recent tragedy that stuck Binghamton.

So I want to celebrate my birthday with the re-launch of my online store - World of Vass - and the recent photo shoot at Guys and Dolls pool hall in Endicott, NY. For those that have not taken a look at the 19 different clothing lines and over 1500 designer products offered at the online store, now is a good time to look it all over.

What you will see are designer clothes with something for everyone. In particular if you look over my models section, or go to any of the clothing sections of this site, you will see how good the t-shirts, sweatshirts, and other items look on real people.

Here is a sample of some of the models and clothes:

Christina Blank


Dorian Whitehead


Dylan Miller


Juliana Coates


Shawn Kennedy - the male calender model of M V Consulting, Inc.


Tiffany Murphy


These are just a few of the fun, sexy, political, intelligent, flirtatious and uniques clothes that we offer. And yes I too am a model of my clothing - as well as owning several shirts for my own use.



So I ask you my readers, to take a moment and visit World of Vass and or my catalogue. Let me know what you think of the clothing lines, my models, or just wish me a happy birthday. And if something catches your eye, I won't be offended if you buy it.

Also I want to mention that the photographer was Todd Messinger of Talent House Advertising. I think he did a great job. And I want to thank Guys and Dolls poolhall in Endicott, NY for allowing me to use their location.
