Harrison\/August 22, 2016\/7:04PM<\/p>\n<p>Upon first hearing about\u00a0 &#8216;House of Hillary,&#8217; a website T-Shirt company and what its\u00a0 Owner &amp; Designer, Curtis Thomas had done, my immediate thoughts were, \u00a0was he using\u00a0 Hillary&#8217;s campaign to make money.\u00a0 My fair came to a halt when I interviewed him on the very topic.<\/p>\n<p>According to the enthused Designer, &#8220;Yes, one can say we are capitalizing from Mrs. Clinton running for office. It makes sense right now because of the everyday captions on the T-Shirts, but we plan\u00a0 to go beyond.\u00a0 We are in essence using the T-Shirts to drive voters and more women to the polls and put people in leadership positions.\u00a0 We definitely have a game plan for after the campaign and when Mrs. Clinton becomes President.\u00a0 And \u00a0yes, my company is a for profit; the shirts are walking Bill Boards, for candidates,&#8221; ascerted the unshakable sounding Thomas.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Thomas stated,\u00a0 &#8220;We also have T-Shirts depicting First Lady, Michelle Obama and President Obama honoring their contributions;\u00a0\u00a0as well as T- Shirts for the Justices.\u00a0 I believe the shirts will go very far, we have over 30 thousands people following us. We have people in Demark and Australia ordering T-Shirts and soon, we will have another T-Shirt rolling out for a\u00a0democrat\u00a0in California, Kamela Harris,&#8221; articulated Thomas . \u00a0 He further explained that candidate names, are fair game to use and that they are going after other political avenues such as fundraising, block parties, and speakers.<\/p>\n<p>The very frank Designer\u00a0made pellucid that, &#8216;House of Hillary,&#8217; is not part of Mrs. Clinton&#8217;s, campaign\u00a0 website.\u00a0 He said,\u00a0 &#8220;Whatever they have on their website is theirs.\u00a0\u00a0We have a more specific target\u00a0on the younger generation, 18-25, and we also have things on our site for older people.\u00a0 Our T-Shirts span generations, there\u00a0are also T-Shirts for men. We hope to do fundraising for candidates and be a catalyst for young people.&#8221;\u00a0 Thomas further injected that &#8216;House of Hillary&#8217;s&#8217; goal, is to recreate the same synergetic excitement in 2016 for Mrs. Clinton, as the nation shared in 2008 for President Barack Obama.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover,\u00a0 the expressive Designer said that what Mrs. Clinton will get from them for using her title and name, is hopefully votes, further inspiration, and motivation.\u00a0 He\u00a0concedes that\u00a0it&#8217;s important for a democratic candidate, running for Presidency to win and that Hillary, will need engaged citizens as well.\u00a0Everyone should do their part in a campaign. Our role is to reach out to those who don&#8217;t necessarily know who or how to vote or get in the game. I am 35-years old and there is a lot to be done.\u00a0 We hope to be that engagement on the ground,&#8221; reiterated the creationist.<\/p>\n<p>In describing his T-Shirts apparels, Thomas said the designs were his and all of them were made here in the United States. The Designer also creates logos. The very culpable Thomas, is using his T-Shirts, to highlight politicians, public figures, advocacy and women because they are an underrepresented group.<\/p>\n<p>In the quest of not running a political muck, I asked Thomas point blank, \u00a0if he sees his company running into a political risk; in which he answered no. He referred to the fact that if, he does, then maybe it&#8217;s a \u00a0good thing.\u00a0 &#8220;We want to use our T-Shirts, to impact candidates races,&#8221;\u00a0stated Thomas.<\/p>\n<p>The genteel Designer\u00a0said that he had no idea if he would run for office. He moreover noted that it takes a type of personality to run and that doing the T-shirts, was his way of contributing for now.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;House of Hillary&#8217; was conceived in 2015, Summer. it was the vision of its CEO Curtis Thomas, a Morehouse College International Studies graduate from Greensboro, NC. Thomas was a Washington insider who have worked for Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr, Rep. Yvette Clarke and Rep. Bobby Rush.<\/p>\n<p>Celebs droning his T-shirts are: Rocsi Diaz, Bravo&#8217;s Real Housewives of Atlanta&#8217;s Phaedra Parks and Gizelle Bryant from Real Housewives of Potomac, the Jamie Foxx Show star Garcelle Beauvais and Living Single &amp; The Cosby Show&#8217;s Erika Alexander, to name a few.\u00a0 Slogans on the T-shirts includes: &#8220;I Met the President&#8221; &#8220;High Heels&#8221; &#8220;High Office&#8221; and &#8220;Polls Before Bros&#8221; etc.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An Insight Into Designer Curtis Thomas&#8217;s &#8216;House of Hillary&#8217; By: C.
