NUM Vintage Inspired Tees - Strawberry Shortcake

NewUrbanMale.com has the largest collection of vintage inspired tees in town and continues to expand its range with the latest collection of Strawberry Shortcakes vintage inspired tees.


Strawberry Shortcakes appeals so much to everyone because it appeals to all our three senses. The bright colors of red appeals to our sense of sight, the sweet theme song above appeals to our sense of hearing and their first range of toys appeals to our sense of smell. Strawberry Shortcakes are probably the first characters to have scented figurines and perhaps that strawberry scent of Miss Strawberry Shortcake has left a nostalgic mark on our memory.

The Strawberry Shortcake character was first conceptualized in 1977 by Muriel Fahrion when she was working as a greeting card illustrator. Subsequently she pitched the idea to General Mills and it became a licensing entity and she developed the whole line of characters, complete with their own fruity or dessert-themed name and clothing to match (characters like Orange Blossom and Blueberry Muffin).

The sugar sweet theme song and the endearing charaters made Strawberry Shortcake a huge fad during the 80s. With a range of paraphernalia from sticker albums, apparel, scented toys to even a video game.


Perhaps unfortunately, Strawberry Shortcake's image and characters got a millenium revamp by another designer in 2002, featuring a set of new characters, clothes and even a different body shape. However, the new designs of Strawberry Shortcakes cannot recreate the nostalgia that the original character did.

And that is why NewUrbanMale.com introduced this range of vintage inspired Strawberry Shortcake tees, for fans to recollect the sweet strawberry memories of Strawberry Shortcake and have the oppportunity to wear and carry that memory with them anytime they want.

So take a stroll down memory lane to find these Strawberry Shortcake tees and other vintage characters such as Popeye, Betty Boop and many more at NewUrbanMale.com - the fashion and lifestyle label with the largest collection of vintage inspired tees.

NUM Vintage Inspired Tees - Nesquik

Nesquik was one of the first few chocolate brands around - developed in 1948, the chocoloate mix by Nestle had a follwing that has allowed it to spread all over the world to Europe and Australia.

But what people remember more about Nesquik is not so much the taste, but the mascot - Quik Bunny. Quik Bunny appears in every of Nesquik's television commercials and packaging and is the official face of Nesquik.

Nesquik is a label that is famous in North America but the same can't be said for Asia. Nesquik faces strong competition, especially locally, from everyone's favorite drink - Milo. Nesquik doesn't have much of a following here in Singapore. Nesquik was largely available in the past as consumers recall the old ads and commercials, but today it has become a rare commodity, thus explaining the vintage appeal that Quik Bunny has for many people today.


Nesquik continues to be hot in the US, especially with the latest Shakeitquik campaign. Americans can video their most ingenious way to shake a bottle of Nesquik milk shake and the winner would get the opportunity to watch his/her video being played right smack in the middle of Times Square in New York City. You can vote for your favorite videos online as well.

Obviously, Nesquik still has lots of appeal for many people but unfortunately NewUrbanMale.com won't be able to guide you where you can get a bottle of Nesquik for yourself, but we do know where you can get get a vintage inspired Nesquik tee - right here at NewUrbanMale.com.

Brazilian Hottie - Bruno Santos


Who said that models were just people with a pretty face?

Not Bruno Santos. Being a model is just another ordinary job he adds to his burgeoning resume.

NewUrbanMale.com carries brands from Brazil that includes the funky flip flops Havaianas and the top six Brazilian bikini brands such as Salinas, Poko Pano and Movimento. Hence our soft spot for Brazil and Brazilian models and in this case, our support for Bruno Santos.

The 27-year-old started off with a difficult life, facing constant beatings from an alcoholic father and barely having enough to eat. He started work at 14 and peserverence led him to do odd jobs to get by, from being a farmhand, to a construction worker, to an office boy before he eventually struck it big as a model.


And boy did Bruno Santos strike it big as a model, being involved in huge campaigns by Armani and Versace. He is also the symbol of what people back in Brazil love, representing youth, energy, vitality and sex appeal.The model now also adds actor and poet to his resume and is definitely someone who goes beyond his good looks.

And that is also exactly why we support Brazilian brands like Havaianas and Salinas, because they represent youthfulness, vibrancy and sex appeal, just like what NewUrbanMale.com represents.


At NewUrbanMale.com, we support everything about Brazil - the fashion, the samba and definitely the models. So watch this space for more Brazilian hotties to come next week.
