It's Been A While

Close your eyes as you listen. This is the passing of time. Peace...

What do you get when...

What do you get when you marry a super-foxy vintage Mercedes wagon to a hunky Nissan 4x4?

1981 Mercedes Benz 300TD Wagon

That's right kids. Not only is it hella fine, it can be converted into a bio-diesel babe magnet. This particular era of Mercedes is one of my favorites. The rounded body styling, soft coloring and tan interior is just so easy on the eye. This was the last styling before computers entered the picture making them much easier to work on for the weekend mechanic.

What do you get when you marry a bright and blocky old school Volvo wagon to a rugged Chrokee?

1975 Volvo 245 Wagon

If someone said that a lifted 70's Volvo would turn out this cute I wouldn't have believed it. The rims are all wrong, but over-all it's super cute. The turquoise really pops against pine needles. The squared-off shape of the wagon is repeated in the grill, windows, body panels - similar to the late 80's Jeep Cherokee.

Check out this posting from Brian Roth, the guy who built these cars. He lives in California and is pretty active online. He sold the Mercedes for $5000 to some lucky guy in LA.

Beautiful People,

We are reminded of poetry daily by your urban armor. We refer to the paint on your eyes as well as the Wayfarers on your sweet heads. You prepare in your homes for the tumults of city life while tying, buckling, snapping and rolling together outta sight outfits. You make the streets more fun. We thank you for the effort. Cheers to you, fashion heroes!

Cheers,
Maria G & Ben

A night out in SF's Tenderloin brought together these SF stars of cuteness. If you hear Primo is playing your neighborhood - GO! You won't be sorry.

On our way to a shindig downtown we saw these two cats and had to double back. Coke Urbano has a website of his work. We really like his string thing. Here.

We saw these Swedish girls outside of the new Ben Sherman store on Stockton Street and had to love the way they all carry a similar aesthetic. Some may say black isn't an aesthetic, it's a color. We say it's a rocker thing. These girls love Rock and Roll and wear it on their sleeves - literally.

Mini Skirts & Hot Hot Heals

These lovely ladies were outside of the Ben Sherman San Francisco store opening last week. Love those vibrant silk Betsy Johnson heals paired with elegant beige silk and Spy bag. Va-va-va-voom!

BMP 11th Anniversary Party

DJ AM
All we'd ever heard about DJ AM was his celebrity girl friends. People were moving to the music from the moment he started. The dance floor was packed. The jams weren't completely obscure and they weren't completely pop. He's a good times DJ. (not Norman J but good still)

Mazze Star

The other day Mazze was squinting from all the sun in her little eyeballs so I loaned her my blue blockers. She really liked them. What do you think of the watermark?
