Sneak Peek of HalfKorean.com T-Shirt!
|
About a month ago, we had mentioned on Facebook and Twitter that we were working on a t-shirt and are excited to finally share this sneak peek of our first-ever HalfKorean.com t-shirt that we’ve created to celebrate our mixed Korean heritage! The front features the letters “MIX KOR” (for Mixed Korean) in a logo style similar to one made famous by a legendary hip hop group. The back features “HALFKOREAN.COM” across the upper back. There will be both Men’s and Women’s style/sizes available and we plan to have them for sale by this weekend. They will be $20/t-shirt with $5 domestic (USA) shipping/handling. What do you all think? |

Check out Joseph & Elsie on VH1’s Wedding Wars
|
Joseph Goode and his fiance Elsie Bobo are contestants along with 11 other engaged couples vying for a dream wedding on VH1’s new Reality TV series Wedding Wars. New episodes air on Mondays at 9PM PST. The season began on March 14 and there has already been two episodes. You can view previous episodes, highlights and deleted scenes at the official website. Here is the synopsis for Wedding Wars: 12 engaged couples will battle each other for the destination wedding of a lifetime while facing challenges on a remote island that will put their relationship to the ultimate test. Hosted by Michele Merkin, “Wedding Wars” is a competition-elimination show where each week teams of soon-to-be brides and grooms will fight tooth and nail for a shot at their dream wedding and incredible prizes. BUT, these couples are in for a huge shock when they learn they won’t be competing at a five star resort or getting any special treatment. Instead, the couples are being exiled to a remote island with little food or water and in order to win the wedding of their dreams, they must brave the elements and survive in the wilderness as they compete in trying challenges. As I’ve mentioned in previous blog posts, I’m not the biggest Reality TV fan but I’ll be pulling for Joseph and Elsie to win! Good luck guys!
