New vid, new shirt.

Hello everyone! Got a new shirt for FR*A out, it’s the second in our signature series - this time it’s a Black on Black shirt (Black foil, black American Apparel shirt). We got them in girls and guys, so let’s see them out on the streets! You can purchase one at fraclothing.com

Here’s the commerical I put together for the shirt. We decided to focus on the photographer who took the lovely pics of Aiko Tanaka. The photographer is Cherie Roberts. Cherie’s work has been published in magazines such as Maxim, Playboy, EGM, 944 and has been featured in companies like Suicide Girls and NerdCore. Check out her site and enjoy the commercial.
