Now available: Support facts and journalism with my new Googly Eyed B!tch merchandise
Inspired by rapper Tory Lanez's final courtroom 'insult', I am taking pre-orders on customized coffee mugs, shirts and stickers. Claim yours today.
A few people recently told me I should get logos and sell merchandise to support my independent journalism.
So, just in time to be too late for the holidays, here we go: Googly Eyed B!tch and Meghann Thee Reporter merchandise, now available for pre-order.
Sales opened early Wednesday, and the response is better than I anticipated. The GEB mug is the best-selling item, but I’ve sold enough of everything to move this from an experiment to a long-term operation.
You can pre-order through my store on Shopify, which is a huge platform used by businesses worldwide.
Customers so far agree: Googly Eyed B!tch is about much more than me. It’s about all women who wear glasses, and it is a celebration of myopia and poor eyesight worldwide.
Proceeds will support my independent journalism and help me pursue the opportunities that are opening as my national profile grows, including big plans for www.legalaffairsandtrials.com and my YouTube channel.
I’m grateful for the kind words from my supporters, including several who’ve offered to help professionalize my brand and guide me through the trademark and copyright process. I’m also grateful for the press coverage my GEB brand has received, including from The Messenger and from one of my favorite names for a website, LipstickAlley.com.
I also landed this flattering feature on PrintandPromoMarketing.com:
It just goes to show you that just about anything can be turned into a marketable moment. In this case, it required a bit of a sense of humor on Cuniff's part, but clearly the audience has been receptive to her method of rising above the hurtful language. Cuniff posted on X (formerly known as Twitter) that the mugs especially are "selling like hot cakes."
Now, does that mean that all of your promotional items should be adversarial and at someone else's expense, or even include profanity? No.
Another complimentary writeup says, “Cuniff’s decision to reclaim the phrase and repurpose it into a branding opportunity is a testament to her resilience and creativity.”
That’s what I was going for!
And, of course, there are the haters. I truly wouldn’t be here without them, and one hopped into my Twitter DMs this morning to give me some more content. Thank you!
If you’d like to purchase an item or maybe a few, you can do so here. Thank you so much for your support.
