Mission Mission

GayCities reports that Robin Williams recently dropped off a bunch of his old threads at the Mission Thrift Town, so if you’re a husky fella who likes designer clothes by Sergio Amante, Kiki Tanemura, and Romane (I made those up) head on down and own a piece of showbiz history.

Word has it that he also dropped of the tux he wore to the Academy awards while accepting his Oscar for his performance in Toys.

Ok, it’s too easy to poke fun at Rob, but he actually seems like a pretty swell guy. Listen to his interview on the WTF podcast if you’ve got an hour.

Look at these cool looking Swedes! Fashionist managed to snap some pics and chat them up a bit during their visit to the Mission. Now let’s all put on some Little Dragon and read all about it.

What happens!?

You see a lot of non-ironic preppy outfits instead of just ironic preppy outfits. Quite refreshing.

They looked possibly damp, so I didn’t want to touch them, let alone put them on my face.

So what happens? Do the red squares leap up at you? Does bum vomit spring to life?

Best email we got all day:

Subj: We have a magical evening of Yacht Rock coming your way.

Hi there – This is Annie from the band DATE NITE. I will be performing, with my fellow sailors, at a fantastic event this Thursday evening at the Blue Macaw. There will be Michael McDonald covers, shoulder pads, a tribute to Gerry Rafferty, a vintage bathing suit competition, and of course plenty of champagne. Below is a description of the event and a couple of winter yachting tips.

Hoping we see you there!
Thanks… I’ve included an inspiring photo for reference.
Best,
Annie Sloan

After the jump is the full press release, including info about the performers and vintage swimwear contest, plus a fun list of wardrobe suggestions. (more…)

There’s gold in them thar ensembles!

Nice tee!

[And what a snap by Corntard!]

While perhaps not as elegant a solution as the Nike Beer Cozy, the Beerdana nonetheless keeps your your hand from getting cold and your beer (somewhat) insulated.  Plus, it’s stylishly versatile as well, as you could go with the classic Bloods/Crips version, some crazy hippy tie-dye nonsense, or this anarcho-punk tribute to just-deceased longtime Mission resident and legendary rabble-rouser John Ross.

Most importantly, the Beerdana is guaranteed to turn any situation into an instant dance party.

Mm, no. Just some smudges and blotches. Or maybe Robert Smith and a baboon? You be the judge:

This is probably still on the rack by the checkout line at Thrift Town if you’re into it.
