You need a calendar. We can take care of your needs, and then some.



It’s 2010. America is ready for its Presidential Swimsuit Calendar… from Whiggy Tease, of course.

Whether you call it “twenty-ten” or “two-thousand ten,” we all agree on the fact you need a calendar. You need a calendar of U.S. Presidents frolicking in the surf and by the swimming pool. It’s Commanders-in-Chief. It’s beefcake. That’s right, it’s…


… the Whiggy Tease 2010 Hail to the Beef calendar.

Who’s our target audience on this one? Hell, who ISN’T our target audience? Historians. Politicians. People who love a good beefcake calendar. People who think a beefcake calendar is ridiculous. Those who think our Presidents are awesome, and those who think they become more human with shirts off. Democrats and Republicans will go insane for this item.

We’re not kidding. The Hail to the Beef calendar was off the charts in the focus groups. The words “tingly feeling” were used. Sure, the words “sick, sick, sick” were also used, but we think in a “wicked awesome” kind of way.

President Gerald Ford is Mr. April.


But it’s not about us and our extensive focus grouping. Oh no, it’s about you the beloved Whiggy Tease customer. This calendar is a sure fire conversation starter amongst your friends, relatives and co-workers. It will get you the attention you deserve, plus it will help you keep track of what day of the week St. Patrick’s Day will fall on in 2010.

Also, rest assured that this is a quality product. Look, it's not crap, okay? First, it’s 17 X 11, so it’s a nice big quality calendar. Check that, each picture is 17 X 11 – full bleed. When fully extended, the calendar is 17 X 22. So make some space on your wall for the beef.

President Bill Clinton is Mr. September.


It’s 100 lb cover weight high gloss paper, and it’s all wire-o bound together. In addition, the calendar has oversized date boxes providing plenty of room to write in important events.
What are you waiting for? Get shopping. Click RIGHT HERE to order your calendar.

May God bless you, and may God bless these United States of America. And her beefy Presidents.

Have you seen the new coffee mugs?

People have been delighted, just absolutely delighted with the first Whiggy Tease coffee mugs.

While people really enjoyed the mugs with W and Condi, Nicolas Sarkozy, Bubba and LBJ, they went insane for the Barack Obama mug, pictured here…



So, if you liked your first serving, you’re really going to like a refill. Yes, we can freshen that up for you, hon, with another round of Whiggy Tease coffee mugs.

Let’s start overseas with Tony Blair…



Next, let’s go with America’s favorite Accidental President, Gerald Ford. What Republican, no check that, what American wouldn't enjoy coffee and toast with President Ford?

The other side of this mug shows the White House press corps just giddy with excitement over Ford's toasting skills. You'll want to buy four of these. At least.

Now, Whiggy Tease doesn’t have enough Kennedy stuff in our store. We admit that. We’ve hired an artist to work on that. Until then, why don’t you enjoy a nice cup of coffee with Jack and Bobby?



Or, perhaps you also enjoy coffee with President Harry S. Truman and his good friend Averell Harriman?


Finally, we get back to jolly old England with Gordon Brown. Here he is at a local Starbucks, pestering Blair about when he finally gets to be Prime Minister.




Now, start shopping! Click here and scroll down. Don’t just buy mugs for yourself, because that would be selfish and hateful. You need to buy Whiggy Tease mugs for everyone on your Christmas list.
There’s free shipping through Sunday, you know, with coupon code LASTSHIP.
Hey, while you're at it, you might want to get some coasters...

"Whip Inflation Now" with Whiggy Tease.


“This is unbelievably stupid.”

That was the thought, allegedly, of Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan when presented with the idea by Gerald Ford’s administration to start a grassroots movement to combat inflation, led by little red WIN buttons. WIN of course stood for “Whip Inflation Now.”

President Ford launched the WIN campaign on October 9, 1974. Yes, it’s been 35 years. It’s been 35 years since Ford declared inflation as “public enemy number one.” The Communists must have been pleased by this.





It’s been 35 years since Ford asked Americans to send him a list of ten inflation-reducing ideas. This must have struck a nerve with a young David Letterman.

But most importantly, it’s been 35 years since Gerald Ford decided to combat a major economic problem with thousands of little red buttons. While once in great supply, most buttons are now lost, or are selling on e-Bay for hundreds of dollars.

That’s where Whiggy Tease comes in.




Yes, it’s our Whip Inflation Now knock off, er, replica buttons. They look exactly like the real thing.

Whiggy Tease Nation, we’re not back on the Gerald Ford kick. We’re still on it.


Impress your Republican friends by proudly displaying your WIN button at their next function. Nothing says “Old School Republican” like a WIN button. Impress your friends who went to Michigan as well.

Not a Republican? Not a Gerald Ford fan? Or perhaps you root for Ohio State or Notre Dame?
Well, you can do what skeptics did back in the day and wear your button upside down. It’s not just the International Distress Signal…




… as you can see, WIN upside down is NIM, which could stand for “Need Immediate Money.”
Or “No Immediate Miracles,” or perhaps “Nonstop Inflation Merry-Go-Round.”

Like we said, original WIN buttons are going for hundreds on e-Bay. So, by buying a replica from Whiggy Tease, you will in fact be, yes, whipping inflation.

Buy. Buy Now right here.

Now you'll have something to wear!

Squeaky Fromme is getting out of prison next week, and you have nothing to wear.

Until now.

Over lunch, your Whiggy Tease founders heard Squeaky Fromme, the insane and incompetent attempted assassin of President Gerald Ford, was getting out of prison next week. In most people, this news prompted a “hmmm” or perhaps a “wonder if that’s a good idea.”

At Whiggy Tease, it made us think about you and your needs. Your need to wear some Squeaky tees next week. Our need for you to buy such swag from us at a reasonable price.

So, the first Nelson Mandela inspired item looks like this…

Now, perhaps you have doubts about Bill Clinton’s negotiated release of Ms. Fromme. Perhaps you’d like to wear something like this…



What could possibly go wrong, indeed?

Or, perhaps your analysis of the Fromme situation is at a higher level…



We don’t know if we should display our Fromme stuff in Aisle One or in the Gerald Ford store or maybe somewhere else. So, for now, we’re putting it in the display window at the Whiggy Tease site. Go there now.

Buy now, and tell your friends. If you order in the next few days, you’ll have your shirt for Squeaky’s big day.

And you’ll also have it for the First Day of School.

If you’re no longer in school and are actually a parent, you can wear it to the first Parent-Teacher Conference.
