Vote Gear That Rocks

We all know how important voting is and have heard the frightening numbers about how many people in this country don't actually exercise their right to vote. That's just plain sad! If you don't do it for yourself and for your country and for freedom, you can at least do it for that little sticker you get after you've done the deed that proudly proclaims, "I Voted." But all kidding aside, it's extremely important and very in vogue this 2004. So get off your duff and just do it!

To help you get into the spirit and display your civic pride, I've unearthed some cool vote wear and gear. P.Diddy, a.k.a. Puffy, a.k.a. Sean Combs, is anything but subtle, and the same is true of his Vote or Die campaign. Make like Mya and Mary J and sport one of Sean John's bold "Vote or Die" babydoll tees, available for $28 at voteordie.com.

Sex and the City fans might opt for one of Patricia Field's "Let's Vote" rocker girl black tanks or a graffiti-style "Choose or Lose, Vote" tee. Available for $28 and $40 respectively at patriciafield.com.

If this is your first time and you're a voter virgin, or a born-again, check out votervirgin.com. "VoterVirgin" logo tees are just $15, plus you can commiserate with other first-timers.

Perhaps you'd like to rock your voting-inspired gear in a more low-key way? Head to fredflare.com where you'll find adorable and kitschy English school pins that say "President," "Secretary," "Treasurer," Vice President," and "Buddy." Worn on your bag or your lapel, your humor and good taste will not go unnoticed. Each is $9.50, or snag a set of five for $45.

Or, opt for my fave way to rawk your voter pride, with a "Vote" tote or belt at nicnorman.com. I'm voting for the Stars and Stripes Vote Belt for $50 and the Vote Tote in Pretty Pink for $15.

Most importantly, don't just wear the gear, actually live up to it, and get out there and vote! You can register to vote at justvote.org.
