The Daily Mummy-- ACE Bandages are the NEW Bandana!!

In response to constant postings of "new shit"... we here at the F.I.S.M. collective would like to do our own "postings of new shit". It is my great pleasure to present to you.... The Daily Mummy....





With that said, it is quoted by the Great Mummy himself that, "ACE Bandages are the new bandana. I mean if you are going to the Club with a Bandana on your face, might as well conceal your whole shit!"

Well put. Please enjoy your first dose of the Daily Mummy. Theres more "mummified" doses coming to you daily... hehe...I crack myself up....

The OhMyFuckingGod Mobile...

Sundays are usually really laid back at the shop. If you think I hate being at the shop on Saturdays, then you don't even want to know about Sundays. Sundays are reserved for brunch and pointing at people and making fun of them (j/k... maybe). Either way, yesterday was unusually good as I was paid a visit by Mr. Aaron Von Minden and Ms. Kim Wu. Aaron dropped off his shirts (look below for the post) and his fucking rad 1930 Ford Coupe. We caught up with what's been going on in our respective hectic schedules.
Kim is a good friend of mine and is currently in her junior/senior year at Art Center, studying Transportation Design. With completed internships at Designworks and Volkswagen USA, she has become a force to be reckoned with in the car design community, not only for her designs but her awesome visual communication skills. Being that the car design community is 95% male dominated, it's a testament to Kim and her skills. No wonder she's a So-So....
Aaron works as the painter and builder at Designworks USA (which is basically BMW USA), overseeing many of the concept models that come out of that studio-- automotive and product design wise. Not only that, he has a shop that puts out some of the raddest hot rods in Socal, Savage Speed Garage. If you want to feel like you aren't doing much with your life, you just need to talk with Aaron. After a long work day at Designworks, he treks it over to his personal shop in the evening to bang out some hot rods. Couple that with the fact that he is a member of one of the most well-known car clubs, THEM!, and you have yourself one busy, busy guy. Aaron is also a dick, in that he just picked himself up TWO new project cars that anyone would kill for-- a 1949 Mercury "Lead Sled" and a 1934 Ford 5 window coupe... Bastard.... Below you'll find some teaser pics of the his upcoming projects and his '30 Coupe thats in the shop as we speak.....


Kim and Aaron at the Dice Magazine party last week...


Aaron's super cherry find-- a '49 Merc... God how I want one....


His '34 5 window coupe... look at the CHERRY condition!


And behold... the OMFG Mobile.... Some of you might remember this car (as well as Aaron) from our Spring/Summer '07 lookbook that's currently online....




Fucking Bare Metal!!


It's.....THEM!


Strombergs....


PBR Tall Boy is a good thing.... especially for a coolant reservoir....


NO FRONT BRAKES.... I'll repeat it.... NO FRONT BRAKES!




Quite possibly one of THE most gangster steering wheels ever.... Two connecting rods welded together.... simple, yet oh so good....


Shifter sponsored by....Snap-on? Matco?









Thanks go out to Aaron and Kim for stopping by and keeping me company yesterday... The OMFG Mobile will be on display here at the shop, so come and check it out.... Look below at the next post for Aaron's shirts....

SAVAGE SHIRTS

Believe it or not, Mr. Von Minden used to sell his shirts over at a certain shop on Melrose, named after a really famous pinstriper, BEFORE they became the ALL the rage on TMZ.COM. That's right, his shirts used to FLY out of the Von Dutch Store, when they carried other brands and builders' wares, before they became all frou-frou and GHEY (thats the new way to spell it to show that it is REALLY gay)... Either way, I'm proud to say that Aaron's shirts have arrived in the shop and they look fucking killer! Check 'em out....

The Takeover....

There's been some major developments going on at the Overamerica offices. With the recent drop of the "Fashion" issue of Vapors, Overamerica has, in a sense, kick started a "new" format of online publication. So the next title in their stable to get the online treatment is none other than automotive lifestyle mag, C16. To kick off the new release, new format and new look, yours truly was featured on the cover. Its a brand new time...

S-A-L-E

Starting Thursday (3/8), we will be having a HUGE sale on all items instore-- that means EVERYTHING! Shit HAS to go! Sale ends on Sunday (3/11), so don't sleep you muthasuckas...



By the way, (COMMUNE) Surveillance shirts will be dropping in-store then as well...

That is all....
