Johhny Cupcakes design on billabong?


Hi all,
You hear about this, but seeing is believeing. I am copying a recent blog post directly from Johnny Cupcakes website. Feel free to pass this along

"Oh no you didn't!

Above you can see my original golden tooth Johnny Cupcakes design, which was created and released in 2005. It was featured in many magazines, blogs, and even seen on television. Next to it you'll see something very similar.

Anyways, a ton of my loyal fans just sent me some different links to this new shirt that Billabong JUST released, called "Billabong Bling Bling". Looks familiar, eh? It's the exact same thing, minus the cupcake! Look at the teeth, look at the bottom row of teeth. With them being a bazillion dollar corporation, you figured they could of at least changed it around a little bit, or hired a decent designer. I guess they had to do this so that all the other corporate giants wouldn't pick on them for not being bully enough. Tssk Tsk!

Please spread the word on this not so good situation / "coincidence" via blogs, myspace, facebook, etc.. The truth MUST be told about this type of nonsense! (Feel free to use the photo & info above.)

- Johnny Cupcakes"

What's In This Spring:Your bod

Okay, so I'm a pale, non-tanning northerner who loves the ocean. I admit it, I fear the bikini.
I'm sister-in-law to the original salty chix.
Years of visiting her at her beach home taught me something everyone on the shores already knows:
WHAT YOU ARE WEARING IS YOUR BODY.
Now, okay, you think, everyone is wearing her body.
Nuh-uh.
I can honestly say up here bound in by the snow that me and every girlfriend I have wear our clothes--even my fantastically carved out snowboarding girls. We look in the mirror, we adjust our clothes; we use our clothes to complement and flatter. We work with our cut and our color. Our body is the frame and we adjust our fabulous clothes on them.
I hop on a plane and I step foot on Dianne's home shores and I am struck again--oh, yeah, here I wear my body.
The clothes adorn me dancing, walking, and hanging after the swim, boarding and surfing. I'm not second at the shore. I'm first. I'm in this body and that's what I'm wearing--with some Salty Chix shining it up.
Makes a girl want to take care of herself a little better. That's a good thought for 2008!
