Last week I met with Bill Griffin and Phil Corbett, the people behind the deliciously eccentric Kitten Parasites brand. We printed up their t-shirts which they are currently selling on their web shop and during their whistle-stop tour in London they have already managed to get their shirts into a major retail chain.
We had a fun chat with Antoinette Niles from A Pole Lot of Fun today who wants to get some t-shirts and sexy underwear for her new enterprise. A Pole Lot of Fun brings pole dancing lessons into peoples front living rooms to create quirky girls only nights. Antoinette says that it is great way of giving people confidence in their bodies, it allows women to assert their femininity and as a bonus it’s a good way to work out too!
We think it is a great idea and definitely more interesting than Tupperware! We wish Antoinette all the best with the business and we will enjoy making her clothing.
As the Indigo Sporting Manager, HR consultant, and official quizmaster, I’ve formulated a little quiz full of pearls of wisdom. The only rule is that googling is NOT allowed! A free T Shirt to the first person to answer all correctly!
- Can you name the six states of the former Soviet Union of which the titular nationalities are Muslim?
- What is the world’s loudest mammal in terms of decibel output?
- Why is the alarm system of the Ballantine’s Dumbarton whisky distillery in Scotland famous?
- How many roads are there in the Square Mile?
- Who is the wealthiest man in the world?
- What do George Earle Buckle, Henry Wickham Steed and Robert McGowan Barrington-Ward have in common?
- In which city did the word ‘quiz’ originate?

Rachel Loveridge is welcomed as the latest member of the Indigo team. Rachel is a
Great Britain rower in the Senior Womens squad and spends her mornings training on the Thames and now her afternoons at Indigo, as part of the customised clothing rapid response unit (CCRRU).
Indigo’s first order was for a boat club and so we have strong emotional links with the sport of rowing. Julia was a Cambridge Blue, Alex coxed for 6 years and even Dickie had a paddle whilst up at Newcastle. Our rowing client list is long and distinguished and if anyone understands what performance athletes need when it comes to clothing then Rachel does. We’re sure she’ll settle in just fine and we wish her the best of luck here and on the water.
