Social Climbers: From Pimp to Pirate

March 31, 2011

Last Halloween, Robby peeped some tiny pimps gracing the window display at Siegel’s Zoot-Suitery.

One little homie particularly caught our eye, due to his killer ‘stache and straight up “I don’t give a fuck” attitude.

"Life ain't nothin but bitches n money."

Well look what Bling-Stache is up to NOW:

 

“Avast. Ahoy. I’m a fucking sellout.”

This arrogant little poser thought he could ditch his Mission St. digs for THE PIRATE STORE?  Upgrade to Valencia unnoticed? Swap out his cream cruising-suit for a crisp necktie and still have an ounce of street cred?

Enjoy your bougey new setup, Bling-Stache. We’re onto you.

Triple North Face: The New “Double Rainbow” ???

March 29, 2011

 

It’s so intense.

2 bros + 1 bro-ette walking in stride to Anthony’s Cookie Shop for 3 matching snax.

I’ve heard of I ♥ NY, and I ♥ SF, but…

This is a little ridic, no?

So much for symmetry.

Back Home in the Mish (And Winners of Our Competish!)

March 9, 2010

OMG I am so happy to be back home in the Mish!  I was reading this great novel by literary juggernaut Nicholas Sparks and it really made me think of how much I love my new ‘hood:

The reason it hurts so much to separate is because our souls are connected.”  ~Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook

The Midwest?  NOT sick.  I do not hella heart it.  Not once was I offered a bacon-wrapped anything.  Not once did I translate the name of my dinner to learn I was eating goat spleen.  My tight new Community Thrift tees not only went unnoticed, but were often sneered at.  No matter how crazy-loud I cranked my Richard Wakeman iTunez, I could only think of getting back to Glooncy’s for Budweisers and a sticky round of Trivial Pursuit.

Lookin' smart, Glooncy's!

One thing was, for real, on my mind the whole time: WHO should win the first ever Mish Competish?  The answer came to me in this ridic dream (right after the part where I was at a poetry slam @ the 16th St. Bart Station):

Liz Dunn For The Win!

This was sixteen flavors of hilar, Lizzie D.  Send me an email (alicearmstrongstrong at gmail dot com) letting me know how epic you want your OMG the Mish! t-shirt.

MISH LOVE!

Frugalista Ground Zero

February 24, 2010

Last night I found this GREAT little boutique on 26th and Valencia… I couldn’t even believe the cush prices for such one-of-a-kind gear.

DESIGNER LABELS, PEOPLE!

Need some super-indie decor for your stude?  Check this noise out:

Costs less than a Seitan Chicken Salad!

Is that a spatula in your pocket?

I forgive you too... For not being on my wall yet!

Free Lamp with Purchase of Hair Dye

If you’re still not convinced that this is the best store ever, there’s nothing more I can do for you.  Oh, except maybe this:

The guy on Capp St. would only give me 25% off...

The Mish + Oakland in Hella Love

February 19, 2010

This guy has much love!

This guy is really making a fashion statement:  He loves Oakland, hella much.  That someone who loves Oakland so much would spend his time walking down Mission Street really means a lot.  Thanks Dude in Green – We love you, too! We especially love those shades and your sick Nikes!

I just have one question for you:  Where did you get Starbucks in The Mish?

In other news, does anyone know what a “monthly past pass” is?  This place doesn’t seem to sell them anymore.  If it has something to do with a time machine, I would hella love to purchase one.

Check out the Beavis and Butthead shirt with skinny jeans spotted on Valencia street.  The Mish: breaking new fashion ground every day!

Need some T.P., sir?

On the Wings of Style

February 8, 2010

This weekend was a big one for fashion in The Mish!  Even the Saturday morning hang-0ver crowd was dressed to the nines, confidently confusing tights for trousers and showing the bedraggled what’s what.

Nothing left me as totally breath-taken, however,  as this awesomeness:

Don't nod off wearing these sleek mothers...

I KNOW, right? V-Day prezzie, Robby?
