A while ago I had an interview with KC INK Writer Sarah Benson. It was published in last week’s issue and has finally meandered it’s way to their online site.

When we heard about a new, local Web site called 200nipples.com, our imaginations ran wild: Porn site? Guide to medical oddities?

Turns out, 200nipples.com sells T-shirts designed by different Kansas City artists. Only 100 copies of each design are sold. After that, the design plate is destroyed, according to the site.

Each shirt design covers 200 nipples total. That’s barring customers with third nipples.

The shirts are priced on a sliding scale that’s gauged by scarcity. The first shirt sells for $1. The 100th shirt sells for $100. Every month there’s a new design.

The brother-and-sister team behind the site, Kansas City residents Wade Meredith, 27, and Shandra Chapman, 30, launched it July 1. Since then, 200nipples.com has sold shirts to people all over the world, from New Zealand to the United Kingdom to Kansas City.

Meredith said he hoped the site would give Kansas City artists and designers global attention. As for its racy name, Meredith said it’s all about catching the attention of “hipster designer” types. “You know, people who would appreciate something novel.”

But naming your site 200nipples.com has its downsides: “That name gets us banned from a lot of e-mail,” Meredith said.

We made it in their WTF section. (Probably appropriate, but not exactly flattering, in the traditional sense of the word )
