Birds in Flight

I’ve been staring into this thing for an hour but can’t pin down why it’s so compelling. It reminds me of playing with highlighters as a kid. It makes me feel calm, and it makes me love street art.

Girls, Feel Free to Squat and Pee

This picture is fairly funny all by itself, but some savvy folks in a comment thread determined that, indeed, this signage does not prohibit members of the fairer sex from popping a squat and having their way with this little nook. Hop to it!

Bon Voyage, Alex

Our old pal Alex is about to move to New York, and Fashionist was lucky enough to catch her on the way to her farewell party for one last shoot. AND, Alex’s ensemble was so fabulous it warranted a four-picture post — unheard of on Fashionist! Well done, Alex! Break a leg in the big city! Check her out.

What's It Like Doing Open-Mic Stand-Up Comedy for the First Time?

Ramona knows:

People are afraid to do open-mic standup comedy, and it’s probably because it’s just about the most pretentious thing you could possibly do besides run for president or murder someone.

I’m going to get up on this barely elevated stage, and I am going to try to make you laugh. I’m not going to definitely make you laugh, because some things I’m going to say aren’t funny, and some of you can be stupid, but probably not in the same way that I can be stupid, and also some of you laugh mainly on the inside and should really stop coming to open-mics.

Last Wednesday I tried my hand at a comedy open mic.

See how it went. Seriously, it’s a great read. Waaay better than Funny People.

I See You GETTIN IT

Therese enumerates some things dudes yell at her when she rides past on her bike:

- “nice tits” (personal favorite)

- “ride safe, mama.”

- “hey, you! on the bike! yooo-hoo!”

- “i see you getting your exercise, little mama. i see you GETTIN IT. i see you GETTIN IT.”

Entirely pleasant, right? Wrong? Anybody got anything worse?

Comes from Mazzy, regarding the Levi’s Workshop on Valencia and the American Apparel store on Valencia that wasn’t:

I guess American Apparel should have bought a friggen printing press.

Corporations take note!

Biographical Info:

"I joked that living in the Mission would be the end of me. And there were nights where it felt like the case.

One night I went out with my friend Allan to the bar that no one goes to on 16th Street, where I lost half my drink and money on the dance floor. Later we skated down 16th to Evelyn Lee, where I fell off my board and landed on my head as the 22 bus sped past behind me. A sobering moment. At the bar, I sulked and nursed my wounds until Allan put on Amy Winehouse’s 'Valerie.' We danced, he dipped me, and I felt better."
