The answer is model Amber Rose. She has gained some notoriety for dating hip-hop genius Kanye West and just being extremely beautiful and existing on earth. She has graced the pages of every magazine imaginable lately including a shoot with Complex Magazine shown below:
I sent her the link to the site via Twitter (my name is tempotandrum on there), seeking a response to the design and this is what I got from her:

We Believe: Shirt In Stores!!!
This last couple of weeks has been very eventful. Today was one of the hugest events in the line’s short short short short history. A shirt designs made it into a great streetwear shop in Baltimore. The name of the place is Pedestrian and it is located in the Fellspoint, a section of Downtown Baltimore (more info on Pedestrian to come later in the post).
The story of how I came across this shop as a potential seller is interesting. More than 7 months ago, armed with a look book (a book that with a series of preview of designs), I stormed into Pedestrian. I showed the manager Garth some of my work, and he seemed slightly impressed (…only slightly). He gave me a great deal of really helpful suggestions and went back to the lab (or computer). With the guy that was printing my t-shirts, it took almost a year to get 3 designs printed up. Yeeeesh! The project started last summer and we only got the shirts back towards the beginning of the winter. So after the brunt of the winter season subsided, I took another look book into Garth. He loved a couple and he chose this one for a small run.
Here is the shirt
It was changed a bit in the process (resized and what not). Here is the shirt.
I got a few printed up from the difficult ordeal with the shirt printer. So all I had to do now was get them ready to be put out on the hangers. While speaking to Garth I realized that I hadn’t really thought much about a gun to tag the shirts. He gave me a catalog with a place in Philadelphia that had tagging guns. I had to get it right so I tested it out on a spare shirt. The first couple of times were epic fails but eventually I got the hang of it.
Hint: The price tags are pretty unique. Check them out. First run of the shirts are tagless. Yup.
I included some stickers in the mix too
Packaged it all up…and away we went to Pedestrian.

While exploring after I gave Garth the box of shirts, I made a very interesting discovery. Pedestrian’s Garth had our shirt on!!!!!! Word. Had to take a pic.
Take note of the poorly put together box strengthened by Status Apparatus stickers. Deep. In summary, great beginning. Visit Pedestrian. Small run of M-XXL shirts. When the blog entry comes gets posted on the Pedestrian site…the link will be posted. In the meantime…get them while you can! More colorways coming soon.
Here’s the address again!
