 * Ugly Kid Clothing**

Although their name is deceiving, Ugly Kid Clothing has some sweet t-shirts and hoodies!

Ugly Kid helps kids stand up against bullying with inspiration and advice. Their motto? "It ain't easy being ugly." They said that they themselves weren't born with supermodel good looks. Growing up "ugly" or "different" wasn't the ideal situation for them. They had negative words and actions being pelted at them like tennis balls! They told us that,"Someone, somewhere is going to try to bring you down, say that you can't, you're not smart enough, too small, or just don't have the talent. Well, mouths say anything, so we learned to adapt **and** overcome!"

Once upon a time (ten years ago), in a faraway land called high school, Ugly Kid was created by few friends that just wanted to create something of their own. Their goal was to push their own,"Rise above/Do something awesome for someone," message. They started telling everyone about it, selling stickers, hats, shirts, pretty much anything they could put their name on! They took something most people would see as,"uncool," and made it awesome! Now to them, being called ugly is a compliment! The worst insults that you can get are thrown on a t-shirt and get compliments rolling in! Their message has spread enormously from when they first started. They were also recently featured on the popular Discovery Channel show, Fast and Loud, when they bought a souped up Volkswagen station wagon.

So what's their secret? What makes Ugly Kid so popular? It's the guts that they have to stand up and not be taken down by insults that shows with their amazing products. So head on over to uglykidclothing.com, because it ain't easy being ugly.
