“Musery Loves Company” Is Open For Business

The only Muse-themed online boutique in the known universe is ready to accept orders. Its instigators, blog moderators Robert Coontz and Rebecca Lasley, will be happy to answer questions.

One tip: we’ve found that shipments can take twice as long as CafePress says they do, so don’t wait until the last minute to order holiday presents.

  1. Queenie J and Ebeth, per your suggestions, we’ve added black shirts to the Mostly Harmless section. Some of them have additional dark-color options, just click on the shirt to get the individual product’s window.

    But I have money and begging power, so it’s a SHINY POSSIBILITY.

  9. Anyone notice how expensive the stickers are?? Well, no need to pay for ’em if you can make ’em yourself, right? You old hands will remember this, I’ve posted it three times.

    What is a sticker?
    A sticker is a little picture that had sticky glue-stuff on the back that causes it to stick to things.

    How do I make them?
    You just print out a pretty little picture and run it through your sticker machine. If you don’t have a machine, tough luck. Here’s a little recipe that works almost as well:

    You need: 4 tbs hot water
    2 tbs flavored gelatin powder
    Pour the gelatin into a small glass bowl, add water and stir until blended.
    Brush the mixture onto the back of your sticker.
    Allow to set for 30-45 minutes or until dry.
    When you’re ready, wet the back and stick it!
    Okay, there you go!

    Where do I get the pictures?
    Go to the Musery Wallpaper thread (https://musefanpage.com/blog/?p=602) and take all the wonderfully froody pictures by copy/pasting them or just dragging. Also, there are several other threads where the GAPAs have posted some great sticker pics, such as:
    the BUNNIES BUNNIES BUNNIES thread:
    https://musefanpage.com/blog/?p=283
    The Boosting Muse thread:
    https://musefanpage.com/blog/?p=227
    There are pictures of the Muse merchandise on the CafePress site. Beats me why you would want a picture of a t-shirt, but i’m on a roll with the linkies, so here goes: http://www.cafepress.com/musery
    Also, you could probably find a picture of Koko or a pie or something online. Just do an image search.

    What should I do with the images?
    Take them and paste them into a writing document on your computer. You can make them bigger or smaller and such. Maybe captions, too.Then, print them out and turn them into stickers!
    How did some Musers get hpb stickers?
    They wrote in to Muse at:
    Muse Magazine
    Attention: Samantha Sordyl
    140 S. Dearborn Street, Suite 1450
    Chicago, IL 60603

    Send a self-addressed and stamped envelope, and you’ll get some stickers! Actually, I don’t know if this works anymore. GAPA’s?

    That should be all. If you have any questions, raise your hand.

  14. I wish they had the Muse Academy ones on a polo with it embroidered on one side. That way it would look really official…. hehehe. And I could go out and say, “Hey, I just decided to go to a private school now. Sorry, I’m moving!” and then go on vacation for a couple of days, come back, and see what havoc it has wreaked in my classes. Can you imagine? Teachers thinking I wasn’t on the roll because my friends had told them I was going to a different school?!?!? HAHAHAHAHAAA!!!!!

  21. Hey people if i ever have a convention with you i’ll expect you to sign my pwt pwns hoodie that i’m getting for christmas (hopefully. if not i’ll buy it myself)!!! Sharpies provided. And i think it would be uber-kewl if there was a version with the GAPAs siggies scanned in there. I was thinking about this earlier today. What we COULD even do, is ALL scan our siggies and send them to the GAPAs and make a hardcore MB hoodie/t-shirt where everybody’s signed it. XD

  25. By the way, those of you who asked for black shirts, we’ve now added them to the “Resistance is Museless” section along with some bumper stickers. View at your own risk. Also added buttons, &c, with dark backgrounds to “Mostly Harmless.”

    Ötzi and Rosanne, any particular bunnies? They all seem swirly to me. Hmm. Or maybe it’s just my mind that’s swirly, teeming as it is with bunnies and Muses and pies, oh my . . . .

    You’re tall? Don’t tell me you loom. Please don’t loom. Love the short people!!! (just so you know, we use the term loom when somebody’s purposefully staring you down from a great height (like hewwitt does) not just when you happen to be taller than them)

    I’ll write out a beautiful Ebeth The Stalker (printed-you don’t want to see my cursive. I never learned it and it’s completely illegible. Even more so than my regular writing. XD) just as soon as i can find a scanner. If the GAPAs can put it on, it would be spiffylicious. ‘twould be flamablamablous if they could add theirs. ‘twould be flamablamablously flamablamablous if other MBers would send in their siggies too.

  31. (51) Ebeth, I do my best not to loom unless absolutely necessary. I always try to use my height for niceness, not evil. For instance, if someone were looming at you, I could loom back. I’m also useful in stores for people who can’t reach the top shelf.

    (52) If there were a cheaper dark shirt, we’d certainly put it out there, but those are the only choices CafePress offers at present.

  34. 56 (FS)- I hate conversions between feet and meters. If the U.S. switched to metric, life would be so much easier. But anyway, I think 1.93 is closer to six feet, since a meter is about three. Like I said, I hate conversions, so I could be wrong.

    43 (Ebeth)- I’d sign for that. Gotta find a beautiful flourish for my “Penty,” since I absolutely refuse to sign the full version of any of my various aliases. I wouldn’t be able to pick.

  36. (48),

    We could easily make a signed shirt, if you’ll all scan your signatures and send the files to gapa@musefanpage.com. We’d compile the names into one big file and slap it onto the back of the shirt. Would you like to do that?

    78 – You’re the least Becky-ish person I know too. Although, my friend Rebecca would be sort of a horrible Becky… she does well with Becca though. I don’t think you’d do any better with that…

    “Zest brain-rot dictator moron” is an anagram for “Robert Coontz Administrator” Yikes. Sorry Robert. But I didn’t come up with that. We should have a thread for this… How about it, GAPAs? *nice smile*
