Can T-Shirt Designers ENSURE Women Themed Tees are ON Female Models AND Can we SEE OLDER Models

Hi all, I have been trying to do a blog post with a feed pulling specific tshirts for MOMS and most the models showing the t-shirts are MEN. As such, they look ridiculous, as seen here ... very handsome beared Grandmas! 

If you're specifically designing a female-orientated product whether singularly or via QC please select the 'female' only option for t-shirts and clothing.

Many thanks 😊

Second point is 

GRANDMA t-shirts on what look like early twenties models, also ridiculous looking. Please either select the newly introduced NO MODEL view and can Zazzle please consider some OLDER models for the many many grandpas and grandpas tees.

Thank you

For that matter, will Zazzle please consider entirely new models, as people are surely tired of seeing the same models. I am hoping there is a policy to re-shoot a couple of times per year?

I've noticed a lot of those sorts of things. Maybe some designers don't realize they have to choose the women's option?

Please remember that sometimes it isn't the designer's fault. Sure, sometimes it is. Sometimes, though, a shirt gets disappeared and then moved to a different style or gender. Now that Z has a no model option, I'll use that from now on. Or at least until it gets taken away.

Things like this is why if I want to promote a theme I will make a collection and then pull the feed from my collection.  That way I can curate what I am sharing better.  There is so much tag spam lately that using the standard rss feed by a keyword is nearly impossible.

I am using a feed and handpicking, it just so happens the men's tees are dominating, for the designs I am after.

I listened to a podcast once that suggested women's designs sell well on men's shirts because majority of women feel that the men's shirts fit better. I'm not sure if I agree with that but that's what I heard. I agree with you though, I never promote these shirts because it just doesn't look right.

I miss the days when we had a choice of models: female/male, young/old(er), Kids/adults, varying ethnicities ...
Some designs just present better on one choice over the others.

When I try to make a version for women and a version for men Zazzle always hides one of them. Even when I make one a dark shirt and one a light shirt. So I usually just pick the basic unisex t-shirt and it defaults to a guy. I try to pick the couple sometimes but that doesn't always stick. A lot of shirts where in the past I have tried to pick a female and a non default shirt to get more views are now coming up as discontinued item. Even when it's just a discontinued color or after I have changed it to a non discontinued style. I still see it as discontinued. Zazzle is the only POD where I have these issues. I wish when something was discontinued they would just add it to one that wasn't. Also I like just a basic shirt so I always buy the quote unquote men's style for myself.
