“Hot Dog Legs”

"Hot Dog Legs" is unequivocally the summer's most fantastic Tumblr. For those of you who haven't seen it - because you've been out having actual fun instead of googling hot dog legs at work - it's a page filled with pictures of hot dogs posed as legs. Most recently the British model Maria Fowler got in on the action tweeting a picture of hotdog legs at the beach.

As the Huff Post reported, "Hot Dog Legs" will make you never trust a beach selfie again. But the fun of hot dog legs doesn't have to stop with Tumblr. Customizo's mobile app, Snapizo, lets you take pictures from your phone and place them on custom clothing.

Customizo offers a host of fully customizable products from custom shirts to custom sweatpants to custom robes to custom towels. With our easy to use Design Studio, designing is a snap and when you finalize a design, shipping is always free. Start designing today and keep the fun of summer going all the way to fall.

Trendy Children

As promised, these little kiddies are over the top trendy: http://www.buzzfeed.com/tjb2/25-kids-too-trendy-for-their-own-good-7kc6

These little ones are doing it big.  Their parents audacity takes their mini-egos to new heights.  Styled out and looking better than me-- I (might) want their swagger-- but then I come down to Earth to remember that by 3pm each of these outfits are covered in anything from strawberry jelly to chocolate milk or designer virgin champagne (sparkling apple juice).  These munchkins will probably stick to white tee’s (albeit Kanye’s White Tee) and Levi’s by the time they’re twelve because they’ll be too rad for anything else-- it’ll be chic, we promise.  (Not really).  You know what I can promise though? That at Customizo you can create killer outfits that won’t tear your wallet, throw it under  a bus, and then drop it in your little stunner’s lunch.  Instead, you can check out our Design Studio and get some inspiration from our stellar graphic artists.  Then, you can use our graphics, or upload your own unique art, and throw it on anything-- your basic tee, a tank top, a stress ball, a flying disc-- whatever your, or your kid’s, heart desires.  Or, you could stick to the kids. However you go about it, this is your place for fashion expression.  Create your own baller outfits.  Stun your friends with you and your kids kickass one-of-a-kind look.  And I’ll promise you one more thing-- with Customizo, your kid won’t look like this:

Look out, we might be looking to keep your kiddies trendy too!  (Stay posted).

Ashton Jobs

Once upon a time there were two ambitious teenagers who decided to change the world.  These two entrepreneurial souls were on a quest to completely change the computer industry.  Through Jeff’s technical knowledge and Steve’s aggressive business skills, these two were able to create a company that has truly put a “dent in the universe”.  The company is now called Apple.  Ever heard of it?

On August 16th, Jobs Movie, a film completely based on the life of Steve Jobs  and emergence of Apple will be released.  Ashton Kutcher plays the Steve Jobs, the lead role in the movie and critics have named this movie one of his best movies yet.  Although many do not think your typical Ashton Kutcher is capable of playing such a complicated and vibrant character, he has been studying Steve Jobs for years and has gotten all of Steve’s little quirks and tendencies down to the very last detail.  Ashton practically makes this billionaire look like his twin.  

For all of you crazy Steve Jobs fans out there, celebrate the exceptional life and career of Steve Jobs by through custom clothes and promotional products from Customizo! We have everything from cheap custom t-shirts to custom towels.  We have a wide variety of personalized apparel so that you can show off your Steve Jobs pride in style.  Check out our custom computer case so you can make sure your macbook pro never gets a scratch on it to ruin Steve’s sleek design.  Check all of our high quality products in our product catalogue and customize them to liking in our design studio.

Complex Furniture

Ikea is known for their unique, cheap furniture that can fit in a box and be put together with one tool. Convenient, but sometimes a bit boring. A Bulgarian design studio has created a line of furniture that is based on tricky brain teasers. All of the chairs, chandeliers, and tables can be put together without any glue or screws, rather they are assembled by fitting different wood pieces together. There are three series of furniture including impossible, coordinate, and sliding. Not surprisingly, the impossible series is the most difficult to piece together. The head designer thinks that most people should take anywhere from minutes up to an hour to solve their furniture puzzle. Just in case someone cannot figure out how to piece everything together, there are instructions included, but that seems like cheating. If you are sick of using the universal Ikea tool try out the new Praktrik furniture line.

Furniture is fun to create, but what about clothing? Using the updated and simpler than ever Customizo design studio you can create a variety of personalized products from sweatshirts to blankets. Choose from a selection of colors and even use your own image. Unlike the Praktrik furniture line, Customizo’s easy to use software will have you creating customized gear in no time!

Little Red Rehab Hood is Back

Our favorite girl Lindsay Lohan is out of rehab yet again. Could this be a come-to-Jesus for the damsel in drugged distress? No matter, we’re rooting for Lindsay this time around. Girl has to be damn exhausted, what with all the media attention and negative criticism. We say they’re all just jealous of you, Linds. You can’t help it that you’re so popular! Having endured many stints in rehab, several court orders, and even some jail time, Lindsay’s celebrity has kept her afloat, providing her with numerous second chances despite behavior that is widely considered as lazy, showing a lack of personal responsibility, and just being a hot mess. Like, we totally relate. As if free bottle service and a coke dealer on speed dial ever killed anyone. But it’s time to turn over a new leaf. Now that Little Red Rehab Hood is out of rehab--and even though we can’t imagine wanting to protect Dina Lohan from the big bad wolf (aka Michael Lohan)--we’re just happy her basket full of goodies doesn’t include any psychostimulants or hard liquor. Pinky-finger bumps and collar-boning are SO last year, anyways.

What better way for LindsLo to redeem herself than to take over for E!’s “sharpest tongue in Hollywood,” Chelsea Handler. On Monday night, Lindsay hosted Chelsea Lately, delivering a breezy and charismatic comedic performance as satisfying as a relapse. It seems the girl can dish it out and take it. Needless to say, we’re very impressed with her new attitude and we hope it sticks. While we wait and see what happens (and go see her new film The Canyons), we here at Customizo will be getting to work in our Design Studio customizing a wide range of personalized apparel and merchandise with our own LiLo-inspired touch. Whether it’s a caricature of an over-botoxed girl in her 20s on a Hyp Ladies Varsity Tee or our old “FREE LINDSAY” Gildan Ultra Cotton T-shirt, we’re chock full of good ideas to help our favorite rehab returnee have a little fun at her own expense. What will you do to welcome her back into the free world? Get to our Design Studio and show us now with a custom cheap t-shirt! Quick, before she relapses!

Baby Swag?

Fashion has been constantly morphing over the years creating new styles and trends for all age groups, but what about toddler fashion? Recently there has been an influx of blogs by parents showing off their children’s unique fashion sense. But this isn’t pretend dress up with tutus and funny shirts. These kids are wearing fancy labels and look almost like miniature models. While most of the pictures are cute and the blogs seem harmless, some people are concerned about problems related to making children fashion conscious at such a young age. Psychologists, such as Kevin Everhart, worry that parents may start to objectify their children and end up treating them almost “as poodles”. Although there are concerns, most people view the pictures as an extension of children playing dress up and don’t see much harm in posting the pictures online. It is unclear if creating these toddler blogs will negatively affect their children later in life, but it is hard to deny that the kids look very cute.

Don’t let toddlers be the only ones with unique styles. Try your hand at making your own customized products at Customizo.com. The Customizo design studio is simple to use and you will have your stylish products fast. You can personalize anything from a t-shirt to tote bag to show off your own swag. The stylish kids may look cute, but don’t let them have all the fun make your customized gear at Customizo.com today.

Where’s the beef?

Imagine eating a hamburger costing $330,000. It would be juicy, expertly seasoned, and cooked to perfection, right? Well researchers revealed a lab grown beef patty in London that cost about $330,000, but it wasn’t exactly the perfect hamburger. The hamburger was made by using stem cells from a cow to grow tissue that could be ground into a patty. Beet juice and saffron had to be added to give the lab made beef the right coloring, but taste testers said the texture was identical to normal beef. In fact, the main gripe the taste testers had about the beef was that the taste was off because there was no fat at all in the patty. This may seem like a large problem, but the researchers who made the beef are confident that they can make some of the stem cells create fat, meaning future man made beef will be even more similar to the real thing. The importance of being able to create lab made beef is enormous. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization there will be double the current demand for beef by 2050. Since beef manufacturing is so labor and resource intensive right now, the possibility of lab produced beef could help lesson world hunger and the environmental damage from cattle. It may be some time before beef can be man made cheaply in large quantities, but the possibility is very exciting and already has the support of many organizations, especially PETA.

Man made beef manufacturing isn’t the only revolution in normally straightforward industry. Customizo offers a unique and simple way to make your own personalized products and no lab is required. Simply go to Customizo.com and choose the product you want to design from t-shirts to water bottles. In only minutes you can create cool and unique products that will impress anyone. Man made beef might still be expensive and need to time to develop, but your Customizo products will be ready in no time.

Buzzfeed's Penis Size By State

We remember health class like it was yesterday. “Your body is going though a lot of changes, and you will begin to notice things getting bigger and more defined.” It was a cute story that eventually proved true for everyone at some point, but there comes a time in every man’s life when he learns to accept the cards he’s been dealt. Now, based on this Buzzfeed article, “Penis Size By State,” either everyone is using different rulers or some people have caught a bad case of cocksure. You aren’t in the sixth grade anymore, gentlemen. Claiming to be bigger than you actually are because you hope you’ll get there someday doesn’t do you any good when you’re 27 years old and still single. It’s not like you’re impressing the ladies, because the only people reading arbitrary penis size surveys--or participating in them--are men like you. You’re preaching to a choir of men who drive Dodge Ram Laramie “Longhorn” pickup trucks. We know the saying goes that you should dress for the job you want, but you won’t be getting any jobs wearing Trojan Magnums when you the standard size fits you better. It doesn’t matter if you’re a grower or a shower, because that glove is more than just a bit too big.

So instead of treating your member like you’re a dissatisfied tiger parent (poor little guy), get to Customizo right now and order a custom cheap t-shirt from our catalog! We have a wide assortment of personalized apparel and custom merchandise ready for your custom touch in our Design Studio. Get started now and customize a 64 oz Klean Kanteen Wide Stainless Water Bottle with a custom design that has absolutely nothing to do with the size of your schlong. Literally any other topic is better.

MYSTERIES

Do you like mysteries? Ever since we were little, we have had a particularly bittersweet relationship with mysterious, strange happenings.

Golf Balling

Have you ever smelled the inside of a golf ball? If you haven’t, don’t. If you have, do you want to do it again? My guess is no.

If you have smelled the inside of a golf ball, then you have probably seen the inside of a golf ball. Thankfully, its looks make up for its scent. Photographer James Friedman’s recent images are “proof of a design lesson and old trope: you can’t judge a book by its cover.”

Before looking at these photos, if you didn’t know they were golf balls, what would you think they are? New space discoveries? Cells under a microscope? A synthetic watermelon? Whatever they look like, they look cool, so check out Customizo to create your own shirt that shows off your favorite golf ball interior. It’s a unique way to show your love of the game, without being too obvious about it. If you need a new hat for the course, but are looking for one more original than what you can find in the pro shop, create a custom hat instead!

Check out our other custom golf shirts and custom performance apparel, too. You can use the Design Studio to explore online t-shirt designs and make a shirt of your own.

K-Pop Fans

Beliebers beware, there's a new group of devoted music fans taking the world by storm: K-Popsicles. Just kidding, K-Popsicle isn't a real term, but it should be. According to a recent Buzzfeed article, K-Pop fans are the most passionate around.

For music fans worldwide, Twitter has become a sounding board to show support for particular artists. Most recently, Swifties (Taylor Swift fans) pressured Abercrombie & Fitch to remove a shirt from stores and Smilers (Miley Cyrus fans) tweeted until Miley topped Maxim's Hot 100 list. Meanwhile, K-Pop fans are actively feeding hundreds of hungry Koreans.

No matter what musician you support, Customizo has the custom band t-shirts you need to show your love. But don’t stop there, we have custom band sweatshirts, jackets, pants,shorts, beach towels, blankets and water bottles. Our Design Studio lets you create your own unique designs, or use Groupizo to sell your shirt designs to your fellow fans for profit.

Family Breakfasts

Numerous studies have shown that people who eat breakfast are more focused and better able to control their weight. Other studies show that having a family meal also provides benefits such as lessening the chances of getting depressed. With numerous benefits proven scientifically why not try combining breakfast with family time? A recent article from fastcompany.com creates a logical argument for trying family breakfasts. People are often busy later in the day whether picking up kids from school activities or just trying to finish up a project at work.

In the morning everyone from a family is normally present and doesn’t have thirty places to be. Another benefit of a family breakfast is simply the food. There is a wide range of simple and quick meals that can be made with little effort. Even frozen waffles would suffice as long as everyone eats together. Lastly in the morning no one has had to interact with their “annoying boss” or a “big bully” yet, so family members should be in a pretty good mood. Although family breakfasts may require families to get up a little bit earlier it opens up time later in the day and relieves the stress of scheduling and cooking a dinner for a family.

Family breakfasts are a pretty unique and original concept (and definitely a bit controversial). Would you want to spend time with your family in the morning, or stick to the tried and true family dinner? Try your hand at something new, like family breakfasts, by  checking out Customizo.com. Create your own personalized products that are unique and cheap. Ranging from t-shirts to towels you can customize a wide range of goods and show off that adventurous spirit. Whether you try a family breakfast or not, be sure to check out the equally original possibilities on Customizo.com.

Woolly Mammoth Park Anyone?

Everything is about to get real Jurassic Park-esque real fast. The same scientist who successfully cloned the first mammal, a sheep named Dolly, claims he might be able to do it again. Only this time with a much larger and very extinct creature, the infamous woolley mammal. After seeing the Jurassic Park movies, I’m not sure if this possibility is awesome or totally scary. I’m just hoping these big guys are more like Manny from Ice Age, than the tyrannosaurus rex. The cloning does involve some hefty hurdles however, like DNA preservation and a lack of closely related female mammal eggs. For a more in depth look at the possibility of this scientific feat check out the Guardian.

  Aside from the little information I gathered by watching the Ice Age movies, and from the oddly adorable renderings of the extinct animal on google images, I realized I know pretty much nothing about the creatures. Thankfully, About.com has my back with their list of 10 facts about the wooley mammoth. Did you know some had 15-foot-long tusks? That’s the length of 15 Subway footlong sandwiches! Maybe we should rethink this whole Woolly Mammoth park thing... Equally as interesting, despite their close relation to the African elephant, these giant animals have really small ears. This kept their ears safe from frostbite due to their cold environment. Think Dumbo, but with super long tusks instead of his awkwardly large ears.

  Shockingly,  these guys weren’t the only woolly mammals out there. I know what you’re thinking, “well duh... plenty of animals are furry”, but I bet you weren’t thinking of the Woolly Rhino. That’s right, some 10,000 years ago there were fuzzy rhinos! I’m still not sure how I feel about either of these guys being cloned, but I do think they are custom t-shirt worthy creatures. With all the crazy animal graphic tees out there, why not add to your collection with a woolly mammoth or rhino printed t-shirt? Our custom tie dye t-shirts are the perfect way to design a t-shirt that’s unique and cute. Get designing today in our state of the art design studio and be ahead of the game when the great woolly mammoth returns!
