Mighty McGee Super Hero Capes & Masks

18 February, 2015

Many of you may know that our family spent the beginning of the year 2015 in the hospital. Our littlest one, Cillian, was diagnosed with Osteomyelitis and also a septic arthritic elbow. After xrays, ultrasounds, an MRI, an aspirated elbow, an operation called a 'wash out', a fracture of the humerus, pins and a cast on one arm and a picc line in the other, we were discharged after a week. He is now being treated with 6 weeks of antibiotics that started out via IV and are now done orally, and therefore much more manageable. We have amazing, generous family and friends who've really helped us all pull through. Just the amount of positive, healing, loving thoughts, alone, that have been sent Cillian's way is jaw dropping. We are grateful. We are very lucky.

Maimonides Hospital, where Cillian was admitted to, was fantastic. The Pediatric ER, the Pediatric floor, the nurses and doctors and Child Life Department were all kind and gentle to our boy- and us. And the kids there- they're braver than most grown ups we know! Once we were discharged and had a moment to reflect, we knew we wanted to try to give back to them. So we are donating a dozen capes with masks to the Pediatric and Pediatric Oncology floors at Maimonides Hospital.

We have been making capes and masks for about 9 months now, but mostly for kids we know and think are amazing. Kids like our 4 year old friend, Kiki, who is battling Leukemia and is without a doubt OUR super hero. And she's got brave brothers who will help her any way they can. You can read her story here: https://www.giveforward.com/fundraiser/f3d7/kiki-s-leukemia-battle-fund.

We are using a one-for-one model, so every time you order YOUR cape we are donating a cape and mask set to a super hero sitting in a hospital bed.

* * We are always on the lookout for amazing childrens hospitals and organizations to donate to. If you think you know of a special place or a special super hero, PLEASE email us here to give us a heads up: info@stinkymcgee.com * *

Valentine's Day

02 February, 2013

Yes, it has really been a while since we here at Stinky McGee felt we had anything to contribute to the sphere of blogs. The end of 2012 was filled with two terrible disasters in the all too near vicinity of our headquarters in Brooklyn: Superstorm Sandy and the shootings in Newtown, Connecticut. All we really wanted to do was hunker down, kiss our baby and pretend everything was okay in the world. 

Time has flown by since the New Year was rung in and the one thing we've been reminded of is how important love is- for families, houses, beaches and communities desperate for rebuilding.

We will be donating ALL the sales from any of our heart bow ties to Little Essentials charity for as long as we have them in stock. You can find them at My Brooklyn Baby until they are up on the site too. So happy Valentine's Day- may you be surrounded by love for 2013!



The Novogratz Boys

14 October, 2012

We were chuffed upon hearing two of the Novogratz boys, Five and Major, wanted to wear our bow ties on the family's recent Today Show segment. Apparently, they are bow tie lovers, which doesn't surprise us! This family has got a lot of style- you could say the boys don't fall far from the tree! See how much fun the Novogratz family has designing a playroom for all ages and both genders. Our favorite part is the duct tape chair- COOL ideas! And for more you can always check out what they're up to at: https://www.facebook.com/Novogratz?fref=ts

No collar? No problem! Tees and ties are cool!!

30 September, 2012

We here at Stinky McGee have been trying to solve the big questions of the world, one tie at a time. First, do you need to wear a collared shirt to wear a bow tie or neck tie? We thought long and hard about this, conducted VERY scientific studies and here is our answer. NO, no way! Ties can be worn any day: holidays, special occasions and just because it's Tuesday. We find boys enjoy wearing them more when they don't feel like they're being forced but that they have the choice. Lovely little girls wear headbands just because they feel like it and little boys should have those kinds of options too! Plus, we think boys look super DUPER cute with a tee and tie. So get out there and conduct your own experiments- and let us know your results!

   


Baby Ozzie is decked out!

28 August, 2012

We love getting photos from all of you with your own Stinkies wearing our ties! But when we saw this picture our jaws dropped.  Baby Ozzie is gorgeous! Not only that, you almost can't SEE the bow tie because his cheeks are soooooo delicious! Ozzie is sporting the vintage red with white stars bow tie and we don't think he could look any happier :) Look out ladies, here comes one sharp little lad!


Stinky McGee is on TV!- Yay!

23 August, 2012

 Welcome to Stinky McGee's blog. We decided to kick this thing off with a bang and go straight to the TODAY SHOW on NBC with Kathie Lee, Hoda and our super brilliant pal and stylist Amy E. Goodman. Back to school fashion has never been so much fun! Check out the pink plaid tie on Halen...... who would have thought mixing plaids (the shirt and the tie) would look so darn cute? It works! It also reminds us that there's a Stinky McGee bow tie or neck tie for every outfit. (Our little stinky loves wearing his with tee shirts!) Check out the full 'Back to School' segment here..........
