Am I right?

If you missed the Street Threads opening at Density on Saturday, don’t fret. The show will be up for a while longer, so stop in any time and see if you see yourself up on the wall or in the official Street Threads book.

The opening looks like it was a good time though, as you can see here.

Chelsea, I really hope you purchased this gem.

It’s right up there with Primo’s “nasty” shirt. The only thing that would be better is a Bartenator vs. Bartbo hoodie.

It’s a Wood & Faulk.

True story – Benny and his designer duds are saying goodbye to his eponymous retail store on 21st and Capp in mid-April in favor of a bigger, swankier spot somewhere on 16th.  Straight from his website:

As much as we love our current store we have outgrown it in a short amount of time. I can’t wait to show you the new space! The store buildout is coming along nicely and we are set to move next month… it is going to be great! Thank you for all the support that has made this possible and we hope to see you at our grand opening party!

Two things: 1.) Pumped that he’s crushing it and that business is booming; great to see an SF local do big things, and 2.) Would it be appropriate if I wear my gold leggings to the opening? I’m thinking yes.

Uh, I would like to wear this while listening to the new Breezy Nix mix. Nasty!

Style maven David Enos says, “Now is the time to wear shades.”

I wasn’t aware that it previously was not the time to wear shades (so apologies to all those who I’ve beshaded in recent months), but I’ll bite. I’m definitely gonna wear some shades this season.

Previously:

• Acid-washed jeans are back
• Composition notebook hats are back

With this handy — and handsome — sweatshirt!

Our buddy Tony Pierce down in LA (who gave us some choice advice when we here in the Mission were dealing with our own American Apparel-related crisis) is grappling with conflicting feelings about the controversial clothing manufacturer:

whenever i see one of their billboards or ads i think what happens when i have little daughters and they see that ad and their friends see that ad and they say daddy can we go to american apparel and buy some of those clothes, those girls look so pretty.

what am i supposed to say to those little angels?

i cant say “you dont see mommy dressing like that do you?” cuz mommy better have some of that tucked away. so now im a hypocrite. in front of my sweethearts.

im so doomed.

Poor Tony! Read on.
