Team Ugly invites you (yes, we mean you) to attend our book release and signing party this Friday, November 18, 2011 at The Indiana Welcome Center. We are thrilled to meet you all and sign copies of our recently released (and soon to be famous) book "Ugly Christmas Sweater Party Book: The Definitive Guide to Getting Your Ugly On" (Abrams Image, 2011).  The event will be extra special as it will take place along side the annual A Christmas Story Comes Home event, featuring the film scenes from "A Christmas Story", which is very cool.  And if that's not fun..

Right now, you should be reading this update via our newly designed site; we hope you like it! You may also see a few test Ugly Sweaters, as Team Ugly is putting the final touches on the design and page layouts, which requires the new site to be live.  Thank you for being patient with us and for all of the great feedback over the recent months. New inventory (actual Ugly Christmas Sweaters that are available for purchase) will be live on the site by September 1, 2011.  If you have any questions, or would like to get in touch..

Merry Christmas! We hope you are all having a wonderful day.  While Kevin was out on a special trip to the North Pole, Adam and Brian joined their pals over at Fox and Friends to chat about the growing trend and popularity of the Ugly Christmas Sweater Party.   We also had the chance to discuss the big fundraiser we're holding for Operation Homefront.

This year's Ugly Christmas Sweater Party, which we held at Joe's Bar, was a major success! We raffled off $100 Visa Gift Card, Patrick Kane Blackhawks jersey, a spa package, iTunes Gift Cards and we even sold a few dozen Ugy Christmas Sweaters; all of the proceeds will be donated to The Shriners (www.shrinershq.org) to help children receive the proper medical attention they deserve. The party was rockin' as Sixteen Candles put on one heck of a show! Here are a few pictures from the event, enjoy! Team Ugly December 24, 2010 From Ugly From Ads From Ugly From Ugly From Ugly From..

Team Ugly (mostly Kevin) made good on a promise to our Facebook Fans! We sent out a message to the community, that if we could reach 1,500 Fans before the end of November, we would gather up the leftover pumpkin pie and smash it into Kevin's face! Well, as you've likely already noticed; Kevin was a good sport.  Wearing an Ugly Christmas Sweater that played Jingle Bells through a tiny speaker, he took it like a man. Enjoy! Head over to our Facebook Fan page to join in on the fun.  Team Ugly December 1, 2010
