Apericots

For all of you art lovers (and I mean real art lovers…not the Brian Regan type of art lover…see below), we have a cool experience to share.

So imagine this, you are strolling through the Museum of Modern Art in New York and enjoying some amazing art from the likes of Monet, Picasso, & van Gogh when you stumble across a masterpiece from Apericots.  Yes, we shipped an order to MoMA.   No, it probably wasn’t framed and placed next to van Gogh’s The Starry Night.  But yes, we were excited to be considered worthy of shipping one of our masterpieces to the revered Museum.

Curious as to what they ordered?  No,  it wasn’t Abe the Ape (although considered by many to be one the most influential pieces in modern art…or at least by us).  It was the astronaut design placed on a onesie. Pretty cool.

So next time you order your masterpiece from Apericots, just think my child is wearing a modern masterpiece.

Here is a trivia question for you, “What percentage of the average human brain is made up of water?”  If you guessed 77% then you guessed correctly…that is for the average person.  However, I believe that our creative folk here at Apericots have brains that are primarily made up of creative juices.

That’s a good thing right?  Well, here’s where we need help.  We have a super talented design team (aka “shrewdness”) who are so busy keeping up with all of the various projects associated with our rapid growth, that they don’t have much free-time to sit and brainstorm cool new ideas for clothing designs.

We want you, Mrs. walking reservoir of creative juices, to impart of your creativity.   We welcome your suggestions for new designs.  In fact, the best new design idea that is picked by our designers for a future clothing design will receive a $25 Apericots Gift Certificate to be used at your discretion…but we hope you will use it to buy your own design.

Tell us what designs we are missing.  Tell us what you’d buy.  Tell us what your kids would force you to buy.  Tell us what design would make the perfect gift.  Tell us what the “hot trend” is in your area of the country.  Tell us what you think…you just might be rewarded for all of those creative juices running through your brain.  Hurry, contest ends 11/24/09

So here at Apericots we have a “shrewdness” (see previous post) of amazing individuals who are some of the most dedicated and talented people in the industry. You already know that they are talented in their work because of the great Apericots product that your kids sport…but we feel like we should give you an insight into our personal lives. Did you know that our “shrewdness” is polished in the performing arts? Here is an after work rehearsal with some of our top talent:

Ever heard of Animal Congregation terms?  Neither had I.  But I was wondering what you call a group of Apes?  You’ve probably heard of the some of the following congregations:

Group of Geese = Gaggle

Group of Bears = Sleuth

Group of Cows = Herd

Group of Dogs = Pack

Group of Squirrels = Scurry

Group of Girraffes = A Tower

Group of Porcupines = Prickle

Group of Monkeys = Troop

Group of Gorrillas = Band

Group of Chimps = Unit

Drum roll please…

Group of Apes = Shrewdness

Yes, here at Apericots headquarters, our group is called a “shrewdness”.  What a compliment.  The dictionary defines the word “shrewd” as someone who is “characterized by keen awareness, sharp intelligence, and often a sense of the practical”.

So just keep in mind that your “shrewdness” here at Apericots is working their guts out to bring you the finest in responsible & hip baby clothing.
