Mission Mission

Sure it’s photoshopped, but it’s still great.

Ben sent us the above photo – a scene outside the Latino Culinary Academy on Florida/19th.  Four pairs of boots in all.  Three contracted black lung in the coal mines and died.

Hayden wrote in with news of her Mission-based online vintage shop called Mother’s Daughter a few days ago and I’ve only just now had a chance to peruse the website.  I’m a sucker for online shopping and one-of-a-kind dresses and was excited by what I saw.

Such quality finds!  Such decent prices!  Such friendly user interface and lovely photography!  Oh, and here’s what Hayden has to say:

Hi! I just opened an online vintage shop based in the mission. I shot a lot of the photos for the store on film on the roof of the building next to my apartment at 18th and mission, i’ve attached a couple just to give you an idea. The website is called Mother’s Daughter and can be found at: www.mothersdaughter.com. We hope to not just limit ourselves to selling clothes and soon want to begin selling local artists & photographers prints, handmade items and really whatever my friends in the mission are making. Hope you enjoy-wanted to give a heads up!

Seriously. If you walked into a party wearing this late ’60s Pierre Cardin number, panties would DROP:

Check it out if you want. Or whatever, Mission Thrift is fun too.

Fashion inspiration: “I guess right now: Zimbabwe militia, like an Elizabethan King, and the Black Panthers.”

I was going to get all animal rights on this photo, but I think it is best that I just keep my mouth shut and leave the bucket of red paint in the garage.

Fashionist has the whole story.

Yeah, this isn’t happening in the Mission, but they have tats, are wearing a hella cool tshirt, and look absolutely elated.  I love this photo.

Get the scoop on shirts at Endless Canvass.

Just spotted this (hopefully) hipster-ironic post on Ohad’s photoblog and couldn’t help but note how slutted the use of the word “Hipster” has become lately.  I mean, I was downtown the other day and two 30-something bodybuilder types in Armani suits were cackling that some dude that didn’t have his light-blue button-up tucked in was a hipster.  ”Hipster” has become a meaningless, all-encompassing term for everyone in this town.  Let’s just rename “Hipster Hill” “Tallboy Terrace” and be done with it.

Proof It’s Always Sunny is probably the best show ever made.

I absolutely cannot wait to watch people rolling around Dolores Park with these bad boys on.

You people are apparently going to dress up tonight. How long can I wait to decide what I’m going to be?

And where’s the party, anyway?

Mission Loc@l has the scoop.

Just in time for Halloween!
