American Rag's sale in Orange County (@ Fascist Island)....they had every single shirt style available and in most sizes (except for the Med's yours truly snatched up). I guess doods in the OC don't have a clue or care about BoO. That **** wouldnt have lasted more than a day at the LA store, at 75% off and all

lots of Ts and hoodies, didnt really look too carefully at them since I'm not into Ts/hoodies. As I said, lots of BoO shirts...it's like they didnt sell a single one at full price and they're all at 75% off. This is their final call so it's all hit/miss

LA was a mess Saturday with all the Grammy folks in town. Barneys was "facelift central"!.

Headed over to Paul Smith on Melrose and lo and behold they were still having a sale.

Picked up another pair of the overdyed shoes in Bottle Green at 75% off of $495 and a limited edition set of 6 David Bowie plates 50% off of $795.

I called and ended up speaking with the manager right before I posted. He told me that the sale was over and they didn't have any more BoO shirts in stock (maybe he just meant on-sale, I'm not positive). I had to run to make an appointment, so I didn't stay on the line to ask for any further details. No cheap shirts for me today.

As fascinating as this tangent has been for East Coasters...

I wasn't going to blow these up, but apparently they don't make my size, so whatever. Some guy actually posted these on SuFu a while back, but no one really paid attention.

Anyway, these

are the ill sh**. Guarantee you'll be the only kid on your block rocking them, you can show your solidarity with your comrades in the class struggle on the Chinese National Badminton Team, and they're f***in' 12 bucks.

Soles are good and thick; stitiching seems pretty sound, but who gives a f***? When they're $12, just wear them 'til they bust and get a new pair.

I just got a some 45s in the mail, but they're too small, and it doesn't look like they make 46.

Too bad - these things'll be the next German army sneakers. Trust me.
