YOLO Tramp Stamp

I mean, you only live once, right? I guess?

(Also, does this mean the tramp stamp is making a comeback? Because I've been thinking about getting a massive Rolo tattooed across my lower back—I fucking love those things.)

Rad Cinecave Shirts Now Up For Sale

The shirt suggests Cinecave has goblins on the stairs and bats hanging from the ceiling and confused-looking men emerging from the screen.  Scary stuff.  Should be a hit!

(Then again, the shop doesn't have a gate for a door nor a crooked and ghoul-ish 17 Reasons Why-reminiscening sign on the roof, so maybe the artist took some liberty in depicting the scene in the basement.)

Ride Around on Your Flag of Choice

Companies have been making flag handlebar tape for years, but this is the first foray into flag bicycle tires I've ever seen. They even come in all your favorite Eurozone patterns! (and American and Canadian and British too, I guess.)  Sadly, I have not seen these in any local bike shops yet (although I'd imagine that'll change real soon), but you can Bing around and find 'em for about $35.

Fashion for the Working Stiff

I suppose now that traditionally white-collar jobs are hoodie-and-denim careers and low-pay service industry gigs necessitate shirt and tie, the Bay Area needs more cheap, durable office wear.  That's where Wood Thumb's new Wood Ties come in.  No more coffee stains ruining your old TJ Maxx clearance rack score; just wipe that shit down and go about your day.  Shitty boss?  Well that doofus will walk right pass you, now that you blend in with your office's reclaimed wood walls.  And should your boss notice you, you have a ready-made weapon hanging around your neck.

Get yours next month at Sunday Streets!

[Thanks, Eddie!]

Fashion Truck 'Pops-Up' in Dolores Park

First, rental prices in San Francisco pushed restaurants out into the streets, creating a fleet of trendy, $4-a-taco mobile eateries that just couldn't cut in the rough-and-tumble brick-and-mortar world.  Now the fashion world is catching up to the foodies, bringing Top Shelf Boutique right to the doorstep of San Francisco's sunburnt and weed-addled fashion community.

With the way rents are climbing, pretty soon every restaurant, business, bar, and apartment will have wheels and a chassis.  Time to bulldoze SOMA and pave a fantastic parking lot with WiFi hotspots and cappuccinos?  Oh wait…

Crate & Barrel Unveils "Dolores Park" Line of Cookware

Around this time last year, Crate & Barrel was in Dolores Park (and outside the 500 Club, if we remember correctly) shooting a commercial for some products.  But nothing ever came of it, until now:

The Dolores Park Collection!  What fun!

The list of goods, from Mission Mission:

  • Burger/bratwurst sauce
  • Barbecue sauce
  • Burger press
  • Insulated cooler tote (not the first insulated cooler bag to be associated with the Dolores brand, by the way)
  • Mini-grill of some Nordic brand

Yes, for $125.75, you're ready to BBQ in Dolores Park.  In style.  No need to press those burgers with your own hands.  No need to run to Safeway for some Sweet Baby Ray's.  Crate & Barrel has got you covered.

Now, all that's left is to wait for the unveiling of that commercial they shot last year.  And, hopefully, Martha Stewart's “Live From Dolores Park” episode (squeal!!!!!).
