So you think you have seen all of Paul Frank’s tees? You shouldn’t think so if all of your Paul Frank tees collection are only those which features character of Julius and friends. Because apparently, Paul Frank has more than the famous monkey character.

The Paramore T-Shirt, for example, is totally different from Paul Frank pieces you’ve seen before — but still, it brings the fun a la clothing brand which was started as small project in 1990s. This chic tee will definitely add more colors to your Paul Frank collection. I bet it’s worth your $24 bucks

I saw this shirt when it first came out and when I did I don’t think I really got it. I just saw it again last night and couldn’t stop laughing. Which means I ended up buying it… you all know how that goes.

So this is definitely the tee for everyone who just saw the batman movie and now needs to wear a little on their chest.
