I wrote about these cute t-shirts a while back that featured an irresistibly cute little girl named Mimi. Well, I got a comment from Kris [creator of the wonder that is the sadistic little character] telling me the following:

There are new MIMIJUDE tees available in the store for your viewing pleasure! Also have a few left from the last run and marked them down for the holidays! ;o) YAH!

First I should mention that SALES are always great in my book, so I’ll be shopping for a couple of tees soon. But, when I went to the MIMIJUDE site I also read that a portion of the sales will go to children who have lost parent’s to cancer. I was quite intrigued and read the new “about” space that Kris has added to the site [which has gotten a great new look and now has a blog!] She shares that her mother passed away 3 years after being diagnosed with bone marrow cancer, but not before making her promise that she wouldn’t let the anger over her death take over her life. This is tragic and I could never imagine losing my mother, but I admire her mother for looking out for her even in her last moments of life. Kris, Kristine for long, continued her educational career and in the process created the cartoon character that I/we would come to know as Mimi. The following is the MIMIJUDE statement:

MIMIJUDE™ was founded with the mission to provide an original, high quality product while maintaining strong community involvement.  A portion of each MIMIJUDE™ product sale is deposited to MIMIJUDE™ LOVES YOU, a fund established to annually sponsor events and peer-support programs for children who have a parent with cancer or have lost a parent to cancer, when possible specifically young ladies whose mothers have been affected by the disease.

Contributing to the sales makes the purchases all the more special. So, if you’re in the market for some new tees, go check out the sales. [MIMIJUDE SHOP]

If budget is tight but you still want to show some support, I suggest you stop by her new blog which is packed with some hilarious pictures. If Kris is reading, I should warn that I am totally stealing the MIMI and kitty pictures… hahaha! [MIMIJUDE SPEAKS]
