Buy This Guy’s Chest for a Day

All the buzz today has been around people selling their bodies to the highest startup bidder. Earlier this year we covered Leora’s attempt to sell various body parts at conferences. Today we’ve learned that Mike Arrington has purchased a day of GirlInYourShirt. The girl behind GirlInYourShirt is Jenae and she will wear your shirt for a day for $100 and make some sort of videos on Seesmic, YouTube and Viddler. I can’t wait to see these videos after watching her super exciting and gripping initial demo reel today.

As the people on Hacker News point out, GirlInYourShirt won’t wear anything but a full t-shirt (no tanks) and she lives in a town with a population less than the building I live in. Somehow I am guessing this will catch-on with those young women that are shilling on video these days.

Drama took it a step further and is offering the services of a woman to basically shake her booty with your logo and create a music video. He has also setup a deal with a porn company to shoot a porn scene featuring your product for $3,500.

Tonight we’ve learned about a project started by Jason Sadler over at Thought & Theory. They are the team behind Only Human and Bathroom Thoughts. The name of the site is iwearyourshirt and basically that’s what it is. Jason will wear your shirt for the day. While Jason doesn’t specifically note it, I assume he won’t wear tanks or baby-t tshirts either! His pricing model is interesting… he is starting on January 1, 2009 for $1 and each day thereafter goes up by $1 so December 31 is $365. Jason has some interesting terms regarding sickness and weddings.

Frankly I think Jason’s shirt offer might be the best overall value because he is relatively well connected and so you might actually get some buzz creation for the investment. Especially if you get in early for only a few dollars.

For this to work for me, the girl/guy would need to stand in Times Square passing out my schwag for several hours. And they would have to be as pushy as the guys selling tourist bus rides.  Perhaps there’s an opportunity here to create "pimpyourstartuponmybody.com" where we have a marketplace for buyers and sellers of these types of services.
