Get a Gio Goi T Shirt: Be the Gio Goi Face of Facebook!

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

Get your Gio Goi t shirt on, put that wax in your hair, log into everyone’s favourite social media network and let’s see your best male model look…

Don’t overdo it though. Nobody likes a poser. But we do love Facebook, so log on and check out the competition. You’ll need to see what you’re up against if you want to win Gio Goi Face of Facebook. So I guess, the question is: to pose or not to pose?

Social media has opened up a whole new world for us to interact with one another. Myspace, Bebo, Facebook, Habbo… it was never enough though was it? A bunch of people you went to school with (who you barely spoke to) being able to see your ugly mug – nope, you want more. You want everyone to see you, and you want them to see you looking hot in your Gio Goi t shirt. But we’re not complaining. That’s exactly what the famous FB is all about. We’re all a bunch of show offs really. We all flex in the mirror when no-one’s looking… don’t we?

If you have a Gio Goi t shirt, throw it on and get your wife/girlfriend/mum to take a snapshot of you. Or if you’re a true poser, why don’t you take a picture of yourself FB style? February’s competition has already been a great success so now Gio Goi lovers are gearing up for the March 2010 comp. We really don’t want you to miss out so get that Gio Goi t shirt on ASAP! You could win yourself £50 to spend, but who cares about that part? Surely, you just want your entire FB friend count to see you looking victoriously smug as the official Gio Goi face? Joel Shields won the round in February, but March is a new month, so get snapping people.

Shop online today and get yourself a brand new Gio Goi t shirt, hoodie, jacket or polo shirt. And of course, I was kind of kidding about the posing – Feb’s winner Joel Shields was just chilling in his local nightclub rather than flexing in front of his bathroom mirror. But I’m not going to tell you how to take your pics. We’re just here to supply the t shirts.

Gio Goi T Shirt – Bringing Disco Back

Saturday, February 6th, 2010

Bringing sexy back? Calvin Harris is bringing disco back and he’s giving the Gio Goi t shirt a good boy makeover with nice shoes and being ready for the weekend.

As far as we know, Mr Harris has never been arrested for drug possession, has never thrown a pint glass at someone’s car, and has never been kicked off a plane for being totally inebriated. Come on, his name’s not Pete Doherty! So doesn’t that mean that he’s not eligible to become an ambassador for the famous bad-boy Gio Goi t shirt? That’s not what we think…

The Babyshambles front man has shaped and pioneered the brand, along with other rock legends including Blur, Oasis and our Yorkshire bad boys the Arctic Monkeys. Let’s face it – the notorious Gio Goi t shirt wasn’t made for a bunch of civilised old farts hosting tea parties. It’s about street culture and pure rock ‘n’ roll antics. So what if you’ve smashed a few guitars in your time? We love expression.

So what happens when you want to express your love of disco?

Apparently, this dude reckons he created disco. But surely James Brown invented it with “Love Machine” in 1970? But we do love Calvin Harris and we’re always ready for the weekend when we hear his music – even if it’s a dull Monday morning and we’ve run out of coffee. His interpretation of the Gio Goi t shirt definitely doesn’t involve police arrests and court appearances. Looks like the notoriously bad Gio Goi t shirt could be getting a much cleaner makeover.

Either way, the Gio Goi t shirt symbolises the love of modern culture and the love of music. Does it matter whether the wearer loves doing bad things in hotel rooms or eating his mum’s home cooking? And besides, we all know that Calvin Harris has a bad side. Bring disco back with your very own Gio Goi t shirt.

Converse All Star Trainers Inspired by Musical Legends

Monday, February 1st, 2010

Music is the food of love, and here at the StandOut office, there’s an awful lot of love! Because we eat music, sleep music and wear Converse All Star trainers like true rock kids.

Well some of us wear Converse anyway. Here at StandOut.Net, we’re a perfect mix-bag of jocks, cheerleaders and long-haired, hairy bellied bikers, so we all have our own unique fashion sense. If you’ve been following our blogs, you’ll probably have gathered by now, that we also like to exaggerate. So we could well be, in fact, a bunch of shirt and tie wearing squares. But I can assure you – we’re not.

Are you rock ‘n’ roll enough to fashion a pair of Converse All Star trainers? Do you throw televisions out of hotel windows? Have you been caught out in a drug scandal? Okay, so maybe you don’t have to be that extreme, but if you’re a bit of rough, a bit of rock, and a little bit of roll then you’ll probably salivate at the thought of rock-inspired Converse All Star trainers (It’s ok, we all drool from time to time). This is the latest craze from the Converse brand. If you hate music festivals, guitar solos and mosh pits, then turn away now. This is a square-free zone. Entry is open to crazy rockers only.

Converse All Star trainers have long been integrating the famous Chuck Taylor logo into all aspects of modern and street culture. But unlike your clean cut, underwear-modelling, chiselled Calvin Klein number, Converse All Star trainers are a little more ‘off the beaten track’. Add a tablespoon of alternative, a sprinkle of edginess, an ounce of anarchy and a touch of enigma and you get Converse All Star trainers. But it doesn’t stop there. The latest Converse All Star trainers collection is inspired by no other than the most notorious rock legends of our time…

Celebrating 30 Years of London Calling

The Clash, Kurt Cobain, Metallica, AC/DC. What an incredible line-up! These artists define rock music and everything that it stands for. As long as you consider yourself to be rock ‘n’ roll – you are. So whether you’re throwing TVs out of windows on a Friday night, or curled up in front of your TV watching Harry Hill’s TV Burp –  as long as you love loud music – you’ll always find comfort in Converse trainers. The new music collection has been inspired by the 30th anniversary of the London Calling album, a band as powerful as electricity itself, the most famous face of grunge, and the pioneers of metal. Visit our Converse page to find the latest Converse All Star trainers.
