Mission Mission

I tried to tell Penelope Popsicle that these golden-Beretta-heeled kicks of hers are only almost as good as designer Iris Schieferstein’s golden-revolver-heeled Gun Hoofs, but Penelope retorts that whereas Schieferstein’s shoes are just art pieces, these babies you can actually buy at Shiekh Shoes right here in the Mission!! Awesome point!

This high-riding cyclist, spotted outside Four Barrel, was able to generate admiration from members of both the cycling and motorbiking communities, groups who often find themselves at odds with one another (usually over disputes involving the bike lane).  While I tend to support anything that can elicit agreement between such diverse citizenry, and I applaud this guy for apparently commuting to work on such “cool shit,” I’ve got to wonder:

How is he going to get off of this thing?  Does he need someone at his destination to hold the bike while he dismounts?  Does he just pedal up to a parked car and step off onto the hood?  Does he have to trackstand at every intersection since he can’t put his foot down?

These are questions that need to be answered!

Okay, so this is clearly no BART boner, but I DID happen to see the most intense wedgie I’ve ever witnessed, today on BART.  I tried to get a good angle on it, but the above photo is the best I could do without giving myself away.

You could see every butt dimple on the babe!  She was standing in the exact line of sight for at least 6 passengers, who could do nothing to avert their gaze but stare at their hands like they’d just miscarried.  Me, I wanted so desperately to help a sister out and pick her butt for her, but social convention wouldn’t allow it.

I hope her buttcheeks are at home, breathing easy, as we speak.

Spotted this dude’s composition hat in the market between 17th and 18th on Mission (next to Cafe Prague) a few nights ago and couldn’t resist getting a snap.  I’m no fashion blogger, but I was into it.

Speaking of that there market, Ariel tells us it’s his all-time favorite, top secret awesomest market, often referred to as “Combover” or “Crackistan.”

Judging by the 28 people standing in line to buy booze that night, I’d say secret’s out, dumb-dumb.

There is nothing prettier and more fun than a custom bikini shop : Zoe Bikini, 18th and Mission.

Yes, there is!  Zoe Bikini,  found on k.   Per their Yelp page, Zoe’s totally awesome, sometimes pricey.

They supposedly have something for everyone, but I beg to differ.  I can think of ooooone Negative Nancy who just won’t be satisfied:

Yup, just made a Cathy ref.

Uptown Almanac, which was described to us by its founder the other day as “a joke Mission Mission,” is actually pretty useful. Today it informed me that the REI website has Timbuk2′s Dolores Chiller on sale for just $79.95! Bargain! I guess the spike in demand following our controversial product review last summer has finally begun to wear off. Link.

Again, 2010 is looking good.

Fashionist has been in Montreal for a while, but lucky for us she’s back in the Mission, and 2010 is looking good.

I have absolutely no idea what this dance party is about but it’s a goddamn tatted unicorn smoking a cigarette.

Mission Thrift keeps it gully.
