We are looking for a cool new design for our Sweet Leaf Tea Lollapalooza 2009 tea-shirts and thought we’d reach into our pool of fans for inspiration.

What does this mean for YOU?

Great question, I’m so stoked that you asked!

Send in your best TEA-shirt idea for a chance to win 2 General Admission Tickets to Lollapalooza August 7-9. The Top 25 design entries will also win 1 of the final TEA-shirts. Don’t forget, you also get the feeling of accomplishment knowing that Sweet Leaf Tea employees will be proudly sporting your design. Does it get any cooler than that?

Start coming up with ideas and make us proud! Now, what are you waiting for?

Thanks Twitter for breaking my heart seconds ago, or should i thank TMZ?

Michael Jackson dead today at 50 years old. As I sit here listening to Michael on Pandora, I cry and dance. He was my whole world when I was in the 3rd grade, 1983. Getting Thriller on both album and cassette was one of the most exciting things on the planet, until that next Christmas when I got my MJ Doll! WOW!

I never got to see him live and as I sit here typing I am feeling a little bit of regret mixed with a lot of sadness.

Thank you Michael for bringing us awesome jams, great dancing, and some great memories.

I know you all have been waiting on baited breath to find out WHO won the most awesomest autographed guitar on the planet. Haven’t you?

Well, wait no more! The lucky winner of the Les Paul Epiphone Guitar, autographed by artists that performed at the legendary Vaya Con Tacos Party at this years SXSW is…

Karen Phillips! We were almost as excited as she was when she got here to pick up her rocking-cool award! I clapped over and over again, for her as if I had won. Man, what a prize! Thanks so much to Epiphone and the Knuckle-Rumbler folks. They know how to sponsor a contest and throw a party!

More contests to come. Will you be our next winner?

Oh, Kendra! We’ve got something special headed your way. When we heard the E! star from the hit show Kendra was getting hitched and having a bridal shower with all of her gal pals, we couldn’t resist sending a little something from Austin, Texas for the party. Our only question was, “What does Sweet Leaf Tea get Kendra Wilkinson for her bridal shower?”

After much deliberation, napkin drawings, and random doodles (better left to the imagination), we turned to Granny for inspiration. And as usual, she delivered with a dose of wisdom and a splash of good etiquette. According to custom, the only thing truly appropriate for this type of girlie soiree is a panty—but not just any ol’ panty. These would, without a doubt, have to be Granny Panties.

And, I can guarantee that you’ve never seen granny panties cuter than these Granny-fied American Apparel knickers. (Thanks Tripp T-Shirts!) There is a cute little Granny on the front and a touch of “Homemade Goodness” on the back. All the girls in the office wanted a pair to call their own, but there just wasn’t enough to go around. After all, these granny panties were destined for the soon-to-be Mrs. Baskett. Congratulations Kendra from all your friends in Austin, Texas!

Tune into Kendra on E! and keep a look out for these Sweet Leaf Tea Granny Panties. Maybe we’ll get to see her reaction!

So, what do y’all think? Will Kendra love them?

Check out the awesome video footage of the last Sweet Leaf Tea Party! Our friend Ingrid Vanderveldt from On The Road with IV rolled into Austin just in time to attend our tea-filled soiree.

Ingrid came with her sister Erin and friend/business partner, Lyn Graft to help us celebrate Bryan Baralt getting his MBA, Macy Shaver leaving us to start her MBA saga and the cutting of Craig Steckbeck’s beard and hair to donate to Locks of Love.
