The Alphabet According to Pop Culture Junkies

The Alphabet According to Pop Culture Junkies

Yeah yeah yeah, A is for Apple. B is for Ball. Whatever. I'm far more interested in Brooklyn dad/designer Adam Scherr's retro cultural take on the alphabet via his label, Infinitee. A is for Audrey, B is for Brando, F is for Frank - You know which one. As if there's more than one Frank.

I'm sincerely hoping Adam makes it through the whole alphabet, because there really is a dearth of toddler tees featuring Xavier Cugat, Yo Yo Ma, and Frank Zappa.

Find a dandy selection for sale online at PsychoBaby. Let us know which one you get. We'll let you know how you rank on the hipster meter. -Liz 

Congrats to lucky Infinitee winners Karen J, Kari F, and Leslie D!
