Friday Five: 5 Best New Orleans Shirts Not Involving Brad Pitt

1. These lists kind of set me up to fail. Really, I think I could fill the list out with Dirty Coast shirts. Turducken. It sticks to you. Edwin Edwards. Metairie, it's safe here. 504 Ever. Some are hilarious, some are sad, all are appropriate. Really, these shirts are some of the best anywhere. But I loved the concept and execution of NOLA Gothic.
