Remodeling??

So, we are currently renovating the shop for some very, very cool things coming up in the very near future, so we will be closed for the better part of this week. If there are any inquiries feel free to give us a call... but you can't come in.

Fedex Really DOES Care!!

In complete stark contrast to last week, the second Rebel 8 (www.rebel8.com) shipment arrived today on time and as promised, per the Fedex tracking status. Mr. What Up Doe was conspicuously absent today and I suspect that as the reason for the punctual delivery time and date. This time around, came the outerwear-- zip up hoodies and thermals! Once again more gangster-ass graphics from Mr. Giant-- perfect for your armed robberies of elder jewish ladies on Fairfax! We only have limited quantities of this run, so come and "cop" it! (God I hate that word)

There is yet more to come from the Rebel 8 camp, as hats and windbreakers have yet to drop... I guess we should be receiving them next week-- depending on Mr. What Up Doe....

What Up Doe?

So for the past two days, amidst everything else going on, I was in anticipation for the first part of the Rebel 8 shipment that was supposed to be coming in. The shipment was coming in through Fedex and after numerous online tracking number checks, I was denied for the first two days.

"In transit on delivery vehicle," it would state.

Okay,... no problem...give it some time. Monday- Nothing. Tueday- Nothing. Hell, after two days of this, it got a little annoying. How can something be "in transit" on the vehicle for two days when the los angeles Fedex building is damn near around the corner! Now I know Fedex is a freaken global company, so my microscopic corner of the globe really doesn't matter to them, but this is ridiculous! To make matters even better, the last time Fedex came and dropped something off, the driver was late beyond belief, stoned out of his mind, with super blood shot eyes and greeted me with a, "What up doe?" Awesome.

Nevertheless, today as I came into the shop, I was greeted with the Rebel 8 shipment waiting for me. I've been a fan of Mike Giant for some time, so to be able to carry his line in the shop is a good feeling. More heat from the Rebel 8 family with straight hand drawn graphics from none other than Mr. Giant himself. Now the only thing is, to try and get some ink done from the Mike! HA! On with the show kids....

This is the first part of the shipment, as more tee's, hoodies, and jackets should be in shortly, depending on if Fedex actually gives a damn next time, and the driver isn't getting high with Smokey on Normandie.

To Die For Fall Shipment

So Nate (www.todieforclothing.com) was kind enough to pay us a visit and personally drop off the latest To Die For shipment all the way from the deep OC. If you haven't heard of To Die For, you might have seen the shirts on everyone's favorite tattoo artist, Chris Garver (www.truetattoo.net), on the show Miami Ink on TLC. Speaking with Nate, ever since that small cameo on the show, the response has been overwhelming and they sell out every run! The tattoo influence is quite apparent for this run as there are designs ranging from the ever popular ohni mask, of ancient japanese heritage, to the crouching tiger. Many of the designs have been collabo'ed or done by none other than Tim Hendricks (www.saltwatertattoo.com) himself! Congrats to Nate and the crew, as the line is looking awesome and much thanks for making the trek all the way out here to LA!

Beautiful Decay x To Die For collabo by Tim Hendricks.... from what I've been told is sold out everywhere!

Rebel8 and Know1edge should be dropping in shop next week! Stay tuned kiddies!

I HEART BART

There is one man.... who is loved by all. Who ALL the ladies want to be with. Who ALL the guys want to be like. Who ALL hypebeasters model themselves after. Who ALL shoe companies want to double label with. Who has a million and one collabos coming out-- even with Paris for her remix album-- and it's going to be waayyy better than Banksy's excuse of a remix album. He even has an all over print mu-mu coming out that's dropping in limited #'s of 2! He doesn't have a vinyl toy coming out, because he IS the vinyl toy! He's so mighty that Ray of Mighty Healthy has surrendered to his mightiness. He's so mighty that he has split Bobby and Ben into 50's! So mighty that Mr. Kim has NOTHING to SAY! You should start stalking him because I already have! And i have first dibs damn it. HE is none other than the mighty BART! 530 Media Lab is actually a front for his world wide domination of all things "streetwear", and his obsession with pastel colors and mayonnaise sandwiches. Maybe if you're cool and limited enough, you can spend a couple measily seconds of your life experiencing Bart's mightiness... I stalk, because he is BART.

Oh yah, and this was inspired by a certain someone's "you are mighty" (*cough, cough Mr. Owerka Moore!*)... kinda creepy....

Good Bye Summer, Hello Fall?

So, slowly, as the heat escapes us and the breeze becomes more apparent (time to layer up you bitches! YES!) it's time to get out all of the remaining stock and make room for the upcoming goodness... We'll be having a small sale to get out some of the stock in the shop-- tees and toys (That's Them, Eksobition, PFK, Kid Robot, etc.). Holler at us-- 213 746 9300

Glasscase of Emotion

Mondays. God I hate Mondays with a passion. Not only that, I'm not a morning person at all. So combine the two together and you get the perfect combination for major slacking and random thoughts of better times, or mind-altering substances-- which ever come first I guess. I'll let you pick and choose... Either way, Johan (www.3sixteen.com) came by today to drop off the rest of the 3sixteen fall shipment. Hoodies are nice with some cool embroidery in the back. As well as their new fitteds made by Estate LA... take a gander childrens....




Back embroidery











The next couple of weeks should be interesting, as a good chunk of the fall shipments should be coming in from Know1edge, Rebel 8, SGV (hurry up Paul!), To Die For, House33, Lovewright Company and more... keep it glued, or stop by....
