|
Spring has sprung, knotty kids, and with it comes a BRAND NEW WEBSITE for Knotty Boy! www.knottyboy.com – go look at it! Now!! It’s finally up! And so much cleaner and easier to get around! And cuter, too! We’re so excited, go look go look! Weeeelll, it’s been a long time coming, and sooo much work (do you have any idea how much content our website has?? It’s insane!) but it is finally done. Breathe with us a collective sigh of relief and exhilaration… in-two-three-four, out-two-three-four-and… high-fives for everyone! We’re awesome! Thanks so much to everyone that helped with this, and to our truly amazing website building divas, Emira and Lauren at Raised Eyebrow on a job wonderfully done. OK, so we have lots of new stuff to tell you about. We’ll try to get through everything briefly and let you go check the rest of it out for yourselves! |

This is our first product for more mature dreadlocks (that’s right, the ones that don’t laugh at fart jokes anymore), and as far as we know, the ONLY leave-in conditioning product on the market specifically for dreads! Both scents are incredible, and suitable for both girlies and lads. One girl who shall remain Brianna nameless (heehee) here at the DreadQuarters has confessed to switching back and forth between the two scents, finding excuses to wash her dreads more often just so she can squirt this luxurious mist on her damp dreads again. How cute is that. While you can use it on your dreads anytime, we recommend giving your dreads a thorough squirt-down fresh out of the shower, as this is the time your locks will most effectively absorb moisture. And as one of our largest product sizes at a big 8oz, one bottle will last you a looong time! So snap to it, guys, give your thirsty dreads the drink they deserve.
New bikini undies and cami sets! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ----
Oo lah lah. These sweet little pieces were carefully chosen for the high quality of their fit and comfort. The camisole is a lovely mix of stretchy cotton with Lycra for a streamlined fit, and warm enough to wear alone or as layers as the warmth of spring and the promise of summer creep up on us. Comes in black, snow white, fiery red and soft baby blue. The NEW bikini undies in white and black, show a little more leg than the boy-briefs (in the cutest of ways, of course!) and provide just the right balance of stretch and coverage. And soooo comfy!! Leave it to American Apparel to come through in the great undie department once again! Be comfortable, cute and covered in these great new pieces, complete with the Knotty Boy logo on front. Available separate or together as an adorable set with the white and black cami’s – who doesn’t need more co-ordination in their wardrobe! Or more cute underoos?? Also check out our new basic black Knotty Boy T with the wicked new logo also featured on our pull-over hoodies! Ever been to a show and loved it so much you bought the t-shirt? Now you can buy the great Knotty Boy basic tee with this fantabuloso screen on it. Roomy and comfy fit for boys and girls all sizes and shapes. A great basic with a stylish screen so you aren’t bored to tears with more of the Dark Side in your drawers – “Luke.. I see you’ve constructed a new… t-shirt…” *heavy breathing* The latest call-out ended January 30, 2005, and what a load o’packages we received from you busy little beavers. Man! Now that we’ve finally decided, we’d like to extend a very warm welcome to: • Noella Nykyforuk, rock climber extraordinaire So check out all their crazy doings on our new Sponsored Kids section of the new website. (Have we mentioned that the website is NEW, by the way???) If the page isn’t quite completed, check back in a few days and it will be. We’ll be doing another Knotty Boy Super-Star Search without all the mean stuff in the late spring 2005, so keep your peepers primed for a notice on our website and in the next editions of this infamous Knotty Boy eZine. All in all, Knotty Boy Sponsorship is a great way to get yourself going when you might not have a lot of clams and could use some extra promotion for your Big Adventure - and your dreads, of course! |

OK! So! We needed a pet. Our mothering instincts were going completely unfulfilled and something had to happen, quick. What to get? Fish? Nope, cleaning the tank too icky and unwieldy. Gerbil? Too stinky. Snake? Rat? Cat? No - our newly adopted friend is none other than Napoleon the Rescue Hedgehog, or Nappy for short, of course. (Aw – here’s a picture of him biting Brianna’s dread!). Yes, he’s cute, but a terror with a capitol T, and we unfortunately cannot advocate hedgehogs as pets after meeting Nappy the Terrible. To his credit, he was rescued after being left in a box by a dumpster (the inhumanity!), so he just curled up into a prickly ball and hasn’t really emerged yet. He is very slowly starting to settle down, though, and maybe one day we won’t all be nursing nips from his sharp little mouth. “Oh, come on, he’s just sniffing…HEY!” What a beastie…

We could go on, but y’know, you’ll see it all when you check out the new website site. Let’s just get down on it and get to the giving-away part already, exclusive for eZiners only!
Without further ado, until April 15th you can pick up a bottle of our newy Knotty Boy Leave-In Conditioning Spra and receive the softest, coziest EVER… absolutely free. You heard us! This is the best giveaway ever! Know why? Because these longsleeves are really freakin’ nice - some of our nicest Knotty Boy apparel, and perfect for those warmish coolish days of Spring. So you get two super radical things, a conditioning spray and a longsleeve for like $16!! So before we pop a blood vessel with excitement (hey, there’s a lot of exclamation points up there), head over to the site, order a bottle of the conditioning spray, and in the Comments section of your order form, enter the following secret message: Avast, ye skurvy bilge rats! I’m a pirate eZiner! I’ve ordered me bottle of conditioning spray, now send me free longsleeve t-shirt in (choose white M/OS, L or XL, or black M/OS or XL) – I’ve torn every frilly pirate shirt I have on me bloody hook! Yar! Yep, getting free stuff from Knotty Boy is as easy as pretending you’re an ill-tempered buccaneer. Or maybe we’re just a little crazy because…………………… WE’VE GOT A NEW WEBSITE!
Let us know what you think about the whole kafuffle on our ALSO new Knotty Boy 5 Second Survey (which might actually take you longer than five seconds now, but we’re not changing the name!!). And when you come across glitches, weird messages and portals that suddenly take you to other interweb dimensions, that’s NOT supposed to happen. Please tell us the whole harrowing story once you get safely home again. Ta very much, brave internet commander. This brings us to the end of another exciting eZine, boys and girls, full of change and surprises. As we close yet another chapter in the Knotty Boy history and open a brand-new one, thanks for being a part of it and this Knotty Boy family of ours over the years! If you’d like to know more about where we’ve been, and where we’re going now (yippy!), check out the new Knotty Boy Vision and Values page of the website to learn a little more about us and where our hearts, passions and hopes for the future lie! Take care, Knotty ones, and we’ll be sure to keep you up to date as more things continue to unfold around here! |
