SHOP > GOTTA HAVE IT.MAKING A STATEMENTWant a shirt with a message? Not one of those cheesy cheesy (che´ze) caseous. "If you're reading this T-shirt then ..." messages, but a positive message that will inspire others? Toni Payne has created a new design for his "Positee" shirts based on an African proverb proverb, short statement of wisdom or advice that has passed into general use. More homely than aphorisms, proverbs generally refer to common experience and are often expressed in metaphor, alliteration, or rhyme, e.g. . Drawn from the Yoruba culture, "Tabo Soko Soja, Aba Ara Ile Eni" loosely translates to "If a stone is thrown in a marketplace, it will hit one's kinfolk." It spreads the message about the importance of being considerate to those around us and is decorated with a cyclical design signifying "what goes around, comes around." The shirts are available for $32 at www.tonipayneonline.com. >ANGELA LU COUTURE FOR A CAUSE Actress/designer Christina Fulton and her son, Weston Coppola-Cage, have debuted their FULCAGE clothing line for women and men, featuring fun and unique designs with bold and original artwork.
