So it says on the Eater that Alice is dropping a line of tees to raise money for her edible schoolyard project:
Chez Panisse founder Alice Waters is teaming up with Levi's and four famous creative types to design some t-shirts to benefit her Edible Schoolyard Project. Above, t-shirts designed by Waters, author/illustrator Maira Kalman, directorSofia Coppola, musician David Byrne, and author Dave Eggers; each is available for $30 and comes with a tag that is actually a tiny bag of seeds. Sneaky.
Two thoughts:
A) Somewhere, Moby is pouting.
B) There is something unmistakably, insufferably Alicey about her dream team. Given the back and forth between Bourdain and Waters* (he called her Pol Pot, if memory serves), it's fun to imagine the illustrator filmmaker, musician and author who would reflect Bourdain's ethos as cozily as Team Alice reflects hers.**

*Given Bourdain's parallel beef w/ Paula Deen, Alice and Deen are now allies under the enemy of my enemy is my friend principle. Life is hilarious!

and apply a bit of something from their blog.
