Little white lies on big white t-shirts

LAKELAND - You ever catch someone in a little white lie, or maybe a big old whopper? If you have, you might want to check out a new company in Polk County called Liarwear.

Liarwear produces shirts, hats, and even underwear with whatever lie someone has told you. You can wear the shirt, or give it to the fibber as an embarrassment.

The company says there seems to be no end to material.

"When you google 'lie,' thousands of them pop up. Little white lies (like) "Oh, honey, you look good in that, or whatever."

Then there are the bigger lies that can really get you in trouble.

"How many husbands out there went to lunch and (said) "I swear she was only a friend. Or how many wives, and maybe this is why he is going to lunch, have said, "Not tonight honey, I've got a headache," said Larry Razzano.

Razzano and his buddy, Mike Sidwell, came up with the idea of Liarwear at a pub last fall. They were watching TV analysts dissect the presidential debates between Senator John Mc Cain, and now President Barack Obama. Razzano and Sidwll concluded that even guys at the top can fall short.

Less than a year later, they are selling Liarwear shirts for $15 each, and already have plans for expansion. Soon, they hope to be able to rent digital billboard space to people who feel they have been wronged in a big way.

"You catch someone in a huge lie, that might need to be marketed so that everyone can see," said Bo Razzano, Larry's wife.
