Provocative Clothing Meet the Merchants: Think Geek at ProvocativeClothing.com

So What's With The Article, Tabe?

I was scratching my head the other day and complaining to a friend that one merchant who I thought was especially good never, ever got an order from this site. I couldn't understand it because they have good stuff and I'd used them before, and had a great experience.

She asked how people coming to this site could know that?

Then I realized that I had never made that clear: I'm plugging these merchants because I believe in them. I've had good experiences with them. There are very few merchants on this site that I haven't used as a consumer.

The net's a wild place, and I want to help make sure visitors to ProvocativeClothing.com are pointed to good merchandise sold by reputable companies.

So, I'm planning on doing articles on each of the merchants I've used, so you'll know they're not just advertisers, they're good people. I chose to start with Think Geek because they're my newest merchant, and they may seem a little off-topic to the site.

I'm very happy to announce that we have an affiliate relationship with a new merchant: ThinkGeek.com. Now, you might wonder why a site devoted to provocative clothing would associate with a merchant that is geared toward the lunatic fringe of computer use, but face it: you're reading this on your computer right now. There's a little bit of geek in anyone who finds their way to ProvocativeClothing.com.

In a former life, I was a software engineer. I forget how I stumbled across Think Geek, but I do know that I had a never-ending supply of bizarre cube-goodies and t-shirts that left people scratching their heads. And it's for the t-shirts that I claim they're Provocative Clothing material. After all, we don't stand for simply provoking lust (though that is a good thing) we also stand for provoking thought.

Along with t-shirts, they also have a great array of little gizmos and doohickeys that are fun in the office or make good gifts for the kids. (I got my boys a set of smoke-ring shooters last Christmas and they were a huge hit with them when they were able to get them away from the adults.)

Now, if you are a member of the lunatic fringe of computing, then you'll find gear that will help you soup up your PC and feed your urge to upgrade stuff for no particular reason. But I like 'em for the toys and clothes. (And Steph, our daredevil test model, has a "Chicks Dig UNIX" t-shirt -- See below.)

As far as being a merchant is concerned, I've personally done business with them and found them to be good people. I got an order confirmation immediately, tracking info when my order shipped and everything I've ordered from them arrived in good shape and worked as described. I'm not hesitant at all about recommending them as a cool place to visit.

So follow one of the links to Think Geek and when you see something you like, don't be afraid to try these guys out.
