From what I am told, you have to join some gang of female bicyclist to get your hands on this fashionable top. Might I suggest these women get put aside their genitalia bias and form the Gender Bender's Bicycle Team?

I'm not sure if I should be worried or not: I haven't heard from Kevin (my roommate + head blog bro) since he started making “preperations” this weekend.
Although I'm sure it's no cause for alarm, when I returned home this morning my nostrils were struck by the scent of cinder and brimstone and his clothes + personal affects lay on the kitchen floor:
Perhaps we have all been raptured to a post-Kevmo world? May his eternally damned soul rest in peace.

I dig the last idea, although if your date goes well, it's going to be wicked awkward to blurt out on the way back to your place “Hey, I gotta make a quick detour to Fayes and return my clothes.” That'll really make you seem desperate.

With SFPD and race organizers getting aggro over people planning on having fun at the 100th Bay to Breakers this Sunday, spectators have found a way to avoid the illegal-yet-promised “sobering tents” and course closures: wearing your own race bib. Citizens for the Preservation of Bay2Breakers has the scoop:
Word on the street is that this year’s #1 trending costume for the 100th Bay to Breakers is…wait for it…dressing up as a registered runner. Yes, you too can dress up as a “registered runner” printing your very own faux bib at home (or Kinko’s). Your timing chip won’t work, of course, but hey, who said you would be trying to make record time carrying that keg over the Hayes Street hill anyway?
Apparently AEG is so concerned with people printing out their own bibs for the sold out race (available as a PDF and Photoshop file), they actually pressured Facebook into censoring the spread of these bibs, suggesting they realize this trick might work. So if you want to 'run' without worrying about SFPD killing the parade of drunk, go forth and print one of these badboys out.
Also, we recommend knowing your rights before heading out on Sunday.

Because nothing is more thug than hanging out in Dolores Park with your shirt off.

They're just laying there on the corner of 21st and Valencia. Size unknown. Smell terrible.

In response to our previous post on Sutro tattoos still being rad, Geoff G. decided to throw his SF-centric quarter-sleeve into the mix. Considering its expansive coverage of local landmarks (Sutro, Palace of Fine Arts, Transamerica Pyramid, Giant's Logo, Golden Gate Bridge, Coit Tower, and walls of fog), and the fact it just looks sick, I'm going to have to go ahead and declare Geoff winner of the SF tattoo game. I mean, pretty much the only thing that could be done to up the ante at this point is getting a giant portrait of Dirty Harry on your back, a cable car climbing up your ass crack, the Rice-A-Roni logo on your forehead, an IT'S-IT on each of your butt cheeks, or tattooing the San Andreas fault on your dick—all of which may or may not have negative effects on your sex life. In short, nice job Geoff.

Reader Amber B. sent us along this snap of a fresh Sutro tattoo done by Natasha at Sacred Rose in Berkeley. Of course, getting a tattoo of a SF landmark in Berkeley is slightly suspect, but we'll give it a pass because of the style points.
Thanks Amber!

While on the topic of expensive fashion, The Bold Italic has been running wild with the naming new neighborhoods trend and recently dubbed the area around Valencia and 14th/15th as “Valencia Bottoms.” I'm not exactly sure how they got that name, considering it's near the top of the street (perhaps because there are a lot of shops that sell pants? Valencia Gardens is home to the bottom segment of income earners?), however TBI asserts the two-block stretch is “going through a full-fledged renaissance” and becoming “becoming a destination unto itself.” To further hype up the “new” microhood, The Bold Italic gives us a full tour of the hotest businesses on the block catering to the upwardly-mobile. Check it.
