Topic: The Getty Girl Store is now OPEN!

http://www.cafepress.com/ub_love2,ub_love3,ub_love,ub_love4,ub_love5,ub_love6

You can sport your Gio/Getty love AND lend a helping hand to a good cause. There are six designs to be had and each design is on everything from shirts to totebags and mugs (added that just for you, B!). Be sure to paste the whole address in your address bar to see all six designs!

IMPORTANT: There is a $2 mark-up in price and ABSOLUTELY ANY AND ALL PROCEEDS will be given to MWAH! in Freddy Rodriguez's name. We make absolutely nothing off sales of these shirts. For those who don't know, MWAH! is the organization that Freddy Rodriguez was a part of as a teenager in Chicago. They are a performing arts troupe that perform anti-drug/anti-gang messages in Chicago area schools. For more information on MWAH! visit: http://www.mwah.net/

If you have any questions, feel free to respond to this post and I'll try to answer them the best I can.

So, let's support our favorite UB character and help out a group dear to Freddy Rodriguez.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

UPDATE: Message from MWAH! Director Ray Moffitt:

That is so very thoughtful of you, Sarah, and your group of fans of Freddy Rodriguez. We would be delighted and honored to be a charity benefiting from the sale of t-shirts and other items via the online shop CafePress. As you know, the MWAH! Performing Arts Troupe has replaced the Explosonic Rockers Street Jazz Theatrical Troupe, both of which I founded and have directed all these years, including those years when Freddy was an extremely dedicated and versatile member of the Explosonic Rockers. He keeps in touch with us and has met with members of our MWAH! troupe from time to time when he has returned to Chicago to visit his family.

A couple of months ago one of our long-time MWAH! members, Andrew Tamez Hull, was cast in a movie 'Humboldt Park' which was being filmed in Chicago and produced by Freddy Rodriguez. The movie is scheduled to be released this coming November.

We deeply appreciate the thoughtfulness from you and other members of your group in your choice of our MWAH! troupe. Please let me know regarding any further questions you might have.

Ray Moffitt, Director

That pink round T-shirt for girls (Jr. Ringer T-Shirt) is so pretty! I wish I had one like that. (of course, after I loose 10~15kg.... -_-;;)

And wow, they also have 'Maternity T-Shirt!.' Purple can buy that one.

You really did a great job, stuley^o^ You are the best !!!

#2 Jun 17th 2008, 10:30pm . Edited Jun 17th 2008, 10:56pm

There are other shirts in larger sizes if needed, Nadie. :D I tried to get more of a selection so there'd be something for everyone!

#3 Jun 17th 2008, 11:41pm

Stuley, you are truly amazing--

I am buying my shirt today!! So hard to choose--oh well, guess I'll buy more than one!

For Getty!!

Beatrice Benedick

Nadie that´s the same one I picked!!!!!!

Hey nadie! You know I´ve seen your pic. You are not fat, so stop saying that. Don´t make me go and ninja whoop your A word all the way from Korea. Buy one!!! You know you´ll look cute in pink (I bought mine pink too) ^_^. I´ll show you a pic of me wearing it and you must show me a pic wearing yours. Deal?

For Getty!!!! *actually I picked one Team Gio tshirt and a Team Getty tote*

Edit: Thanks for adding the mugs now I don't want to end up broke... so I'll get them later.

#5 Jun 18th 2008, 7:01am . Edited Jun 18th 2008, 7:02am

B!! Forgive me for the non-invite last night...:(

What shirt did you buy? I can't decide

I'm having Chili Cheese Fritos for my mid-morning snack!!

#6 Jun 18th 2008, 7:06am

LOL! That ringer shirt is the Henry/Betty one that I-C linked to that is $24.99! Can you believe that? Don't go broke, Benry fans (cause I know you're probably reading this)! I can help you too! And in turn help out a great organization!

#7 Jun 18th 2008, 7:14am . Edited Jun 18th 2008, 7:15am

Hey guys, isn't the Getty store totally awesome! I already ordered my first shirt... Team Getty: Working on their 5 year plan! Probably I'll buy more as I get the money for it.

Stu- keep us updated on the charity end of it too!

#8 Jun 18th 2008, 7:15am

This is what I just emailed to MWAH!

I am writing on behalf of a group of fans of the actor Freddy Rodriguez who we know was a part of your group in Chicago during his teenage years.

We are currently selling t-shirts and other items via the online shop CafePress.com for fellow Freddy Rodriguez fans to purchase featuring a design I made in support of one of the television characters he portrays. The only request I had when I was approached to make the design was that any profits made from the sale of the items benefit a group or charity related to Mr. Rodriguez. After talking with other members of our group, we unanimously chose MWAH! as our first organization to reach out to.

So we are wondering if you accept contributions or donations to your organization, or might be able to direct us to another organization that might accept contributions that would benefit MWAH!. Not only do we know that MWAH! helped to contribute to Mr. Rodriguez's success, but all our members have been helped by similar organizations growing up and know how important they are to a community.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

-------------------------------------------------

I'll keep you updated on if I hear anything back. If not, I'll take a poll on another organization we can send the profits to!

Hahahaa.....we're going to become an International phenomenon, and when we all show up on the UB set wearing our Getty gear, FR will have to take a picture with us!

#10 Jun 18th 2008, 7:19am

Stuley this is great!!

I was on the website this morning and discovered that Kel of Kenan and Kel is also and alum--soo cool!

#11 Jun 18th 2008, 7:22am

Totally Juna!! I was thinking that this morning!!

#12 Jun 18th 2008, 7:24am

Beatrice Benedick

Va! No sweat. I was joking. I was watching 27 dresses so I couldn´t log as much as I wanted to in the chatzy.

What did I buy?

The (edit: Changed for the Jr-Raglan): Team Gio: The Man with a Plan" (pink colored, medium size)

Tote: "Team Getty: Working on their 5 year plan!" Just like Juna!! ^_^ *high five Juna*

Being a Manufacturing Process Engineer... and working in a Financial Projects department ... I can´t resist a man with plans. yay!

STULEY!!!!! That was very nicely written. Let us know about it. Yeah! If they agree we must post this in some blog or something. And write a small article about the cause and featured products.

FOR GETTY!!!!

#13 Jun 18th 2008, 7:36am . Edited Jun 18th 2008, 10:44am

I'm gonna post the link to our store on my MySpace site! Everyone knows I love Gio, since I have him in my photo albums, LoL....maybe we can create some more traffic : )

#14 Jun 18th 2008, 7:41am

angelgrl0284

How did you guys actually pick just one or two things!? I'm still in the process of narrowing it down. I think I'm going to go with a "Team Gio" baseball T, and either a "Team Getty" tote or mug. I'm not sure which I'd get the most use out of. This will be my main focus throughout the rest of the work day. :)

#15 Jun 18th 2008, 10:29am

For the moment I just ordered a Team Getty Raglan shirt. But the minute I know I can afford more, I'll definitely be getting some other stuff too! Especially if those pickle boxers go up, LoL

#16 Jun 18th 2008, 10:34am

I'm with you angel, I've just narrowed down to 2 or 3 shirts and still need to pick one plus a mug.

So many choices had proven tough for me--all are so good

#17 Jun 18th 2008, 10:37am

We are a go with MWAH!! So PROMOTE, PROMOTE, PROMOTE!!

That's great!!! stuley !!! I'm happy ^0^

Hey, I like to link directly that "Team Gio / Tean Getty" cafepress.com page in my fansite, both the side menu frame (there are only Freddy IMDB, my fanblog, korean candlelight protesting campaign, and oranc.co.kr free web hosting site) and FR other sites link. Can you make a good banner image for that? ^.^

#19 Jun 18th 2008, 1:24pm . Edited Jun 18th 2008, 1:35pm

Yes I can! Give me a size dimension that works for you and I'll get that to ya!

#20 Jun 18th 2008, 1:26pm

I like the big one this time, for the eye catching in my fansite visitors. I think the perfect width is 160~170 for my side menu frame (that candlelight banner's width is 165). And about the height, please make whatever you like :)

Oh, can you make another 150 x 70~80 one? I also like to link that in my egloos.com side menu, so in every page the visitors can see that banner.

#21 Jun 18th 2008, 1:33pm . Edited Jun 18th 2008, 1:54pm

Stuley this is so very heartwarming--I'm thrilled this is a go--

You and we (the Getty Girls) ROCK!!

#22 Jun 18th 2008, 1:46pm

Here's a 165x200 one: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v624/etod23/TeamGio/teamgio165x200.jpg

Let me work on the other for ya! :)

#23 Jun 18th 2008, 2:00pm

I'm just glad our Gio/Getty love is going to put some positive out there in the world!

Go Getty Girls! :D

Can this one be animated?

I bought a tank! The Pickle Napkin one. :)

I had a thought, Stu. I know you're trying to promote the store...It might be a good idea to email UBN Tom and see if he wouldn't mind giving his readers a head's up with the link. He seems to like charities...

#29 Jun 18th 2008, 3:08pm . Edited Jun 18th 2008, 5:33pm

That's a good idea Wooster--

Stuley, have the Team Benry folks chosen a charity for their proceeds? Forgive me if I missed this answer before---

#30 Jun 18th 2008, 3:14pm

OMG! I do love both of them. Now I have to choose one.... happy choice ^0^ You are the BEST !!!

#31 Jun 18th 2008, 3:24pm

I was just thinking of that a few minutes ago! I'll email him when I get home from work and see if he'll give us any play. ;)

Stuley, have the Team Benry folks chosen a charity for their proceeds? Forgive me if I missed this answer before---

I don't think they have. I don't know if one of them made that shirt (which isn't all that hot, btw) or if they just found it searching around in reaction to us making our own shirts... Hmm... But at that crazy mark-up, I would hope they would!

#33 Jun 18th 2008, 3:46pm

OMG! I do love both of them. Now I have to choose one.... happy choice ^0^ You are the BEST !!!

Yay! I'm glad you like them! :D

angelgrl0284

Okay, really this is so awesome, being able to take our Getty love and make it into supporting a good cause. Stu, this was an excellent idea and you deserve mad props. I said it last night and I'll say it again, we have the best shippers/fans ever!

I'm still deciding on what to buy though...

#35 Jun 18th 2008, 3:50pm

wooster182

I accidentally ordered a large...but I'm still excited! I got a white tank top. If I have to, I'll layer underneath it. :)

I'm so planning to where this every Thursday this fall! And yes, Stu, mad props to you!!

#36 Jun 18th 2008, 3:52pm

giolicious

Very cool! Stuley, you're using your powers for good, not evil! I'm glad we have you on our team :)

I can't decide what I want to order! Maybe a tote bag for my farmer's market shopping!

So where else can we promote this? Do you think they'll let us put it in the Gio loves Betty thread on FanForum.com? We need to get the word out!

#37 Jun 18th 2008, 4:53pm

Freddy Fansite : Banners Linked Completely ! (1. side menu frame 2. main frame 3. FR Other sites 4. Each page in egloos.com)

Do you like them, Stuley? ^.^

#38 Jun 18th 2008, 5:10pm . Edited Jun 18th 2008, 5:18pm

angelgrl0284

I've made my decision and plan to order tomorrow or Friday (I'm waiting until payday, or at least closer to payday... I might not be able to hold off a couple more days)! I 'm going with the Jr. Raglan "Team Gio: Because he's the guy" in pink/white and the "Team Getty: He quacks. She woofs." mug. And, like Wooster, I intend to wear that shirt every Thursday next season!

#39 Jun 18th 2008, 5:11pm

Do you like them, Stuley? ^.^

Like them? I LOVE them! hahaha Not that I'm biased or anything. ;)

#40 Jun 18th 2008, 5:23pm

Very cool! Stuley, you're using your powers for good, not evil! I'm glad we have you on our team :)

Just glad I could use my mad skillz to work some Gio/Getty magic in the world. XD

#41 Jun 18th 2008, 5:27pm

Okay, I emailed Tom @ UBN and so now all we can do is cross our fingers and hope!

#43 Jun 18th 2008, 5:32pm

Stu- I'm so glad we're online with MWAH! That is the best news ever!! Like I said before, I'm gonna post a link on my MySpace profile and my Facebook profile too, if I can figure that one out.

And on another note, I got an e-mail saying my order shipped already! Holy Jeez! That was snappy!

#44 Jun 18th 2008, 5:37pm

Like Beatrice said here, how about this? If you have those items after delivered, please take pictures of them (especially T-shirts ^0^) and post here. I really want to see that. You don't have to show your face if you don't want to - just the items you're wearing/having them. What do you think?

Mine is... well, I'm sure I'm going to order that pretty pink round T-shirt someday! (My goal this summer : Not X - large, just large size!)

#45 Jun 18th 2008, 5:42pm . Edited Jun 18th 2008, 11:30pm

Hi stuley!!!! I took your promotional post and added in my own livejournal. YAY! so happy!! Now, where else? where else?

Thanks! I think I rewrote that email about a bajillion times so that it sounded just right--short and as to the point I could make it. :D

Hi stuley!!!! I took your promotional post and added in my own livejournal. YAY! so happy!! Now, where else? where else?

Thanks B! I just messaged the LiveJournal Ugly Betty community moderators to see if they'll let me post what I did in gio_heroworship. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping really hard on that one! I also emailed Tom from UBN last night, but haven't heard anything back yet... Any other suggestions ya'll? I'll ask pretty much anyone for at least posting access.

Here is Beatrice's fantastic promotional video

TEAM GIO CAFEPRESS (Gio/Betty)

Junamrsgrl's photo in Getty shirt :) (Is it okay, Juna? I hope you don't mind it! Your photo is so good!)

OK everyone! Here's a link of me in my official Getty gear!

http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll280/junamrsgrl/GettyJess.jpg

I'm Gettying in public tonight on my dinner date! Viva Getty!!!

wooster182's posting about the Getty shirt. Maybe those shirts are quite smaller than the original stated sizes, I think. so consider it when you order them :)

HEY! I GOT MY SHIRT!!!

I had accidentally purchased a large but it fits really well. Anything smaller probably wouldn't fit

And this is my korean blog posting about the Getty store. I also posted it in Ugly Betty korean fan board (yes, I go there again... but not as usual like before... :/ )

replies : (They mostly mentioned his GROWING HAIR !!! haha...)

- Wow, you guys are really doing great works. Cool. And I love Freddy's recent hair - they are growing!

- I wondered how Freddy Rodriguez is doing recently after Ugly Betty and now I see his hair is growing. What a cute smile!

- Beautiful celebrity and beautiful fans ^.^ Especially I like the totebag - simple and good design. I'd like to buy it.

- He looks like a highschool boy with that hair! And great fans, I admire you guys.

- His hair is growing but his baby face and killer smile is always with him. You must be very proud of being a Freddy fan, don't you?
