Mission Mission

Fashionist asked this guy Chris about his fashion inspirations:

I’m really interested right now in the Duke of Windsor, just because he was so rebellious even though he was confined to this conservative background. I like the black ivy league thing that was going on with Miles Davis in the late 50s, early 60s. Also the Rat Pack, and the movie Mean Streets by Martin Scorsese.

At the Verdi Club no less, as part of some Litquake thing because she wrote a book or something.

Can’t say I plan to try either, but I’d definitely eschew the open-toed look — for vaaarious reasons.

Yesterday evening San Francisco had an epic rainbow. We posted a few pictures that were submitted to us by readers, but I figured we’d better also share the wealth of trippy pics that’ve been popping up in our various feeds ever since. There’ve been a ton though, so you’re gonna have to do some of the work yourself. Pick a name you like, and see that name’s pic (or pics) — or click through to each and every one for a DOUBLE RAINBOW OVERLOAD:

Here’s one now, browsing the shelves Mission: Comics & Art…

Z Space is the place! Here’s the deal:

Climb aboard the luxury cruise ship Crown of the Seas, and join an eclectic group of seekers as they strive for enlightenment. Amidst the sensual decadence of bars, discos, and gluttonous buffets, they un-tether themselves from the baggage of their everyday lives and become entangled in a strange, disturbing ritual. Sit right back and take a surreal journey the folks at Princess Cruises never imagined in their wildest dreams.

Tickets and further details here.

To win a pair of seats to this Friday’s show (which writer Sheila Callaghan, writer/producer of Showtime series Shameless, will also be attending), tell us about your freakiest cruise ship (or vacation) experience in the comments section below. Winner will be chosen based on merit. Contest ends Thursday at noon.

Our pal Tag of Sexpigeon is on the ground in Charlotte right now, and the reportage he’s delivering is more heartfelt and engaging than any of the snark-filled total bullshit everywhere else on the internet:

Met some very nice locals. Things I learned:

They sure brought in a lot of police for this thing. The horses are very beautiful. We all agreed that the dappled gray horse at the front is the most beautiful of the horses. “There are a lot more cops and a lot more suits. You never see this many suits.”

The police put all the homeless people on buses a few weeks ago, took them out of Uptown in anticipation of the convention. Deposited them somewhere else.

“Uptown, pfft,” says an old-timer. “You’re just trying to be fancy.” Apparently the neighborhood name is of relatively recent vintage.

They estimate that the ratio of cops to protestors is about 2:1. Had no particular dog in this fight. Mildly inconvenienced in terms of getting home, but also entertained, happy to just stand around and take pictures for a bit. “It’s a good thing the police don’t mind pictures, because I’ve just been clicking away.”

Read on, seriously, I teared up.
