Boro Boro!





Japanese indigo boro (patchwork).
Meji era, I think?
So natural you could probably smoke it.

Didn't win / Holubar

Vintage ca 1950's (?) Holubar ski anorak.
Haven't seen one of these in a long time.
Went for 200 buckaroos last week at the bay.
Was pondered going up to 250, still a good price. But I've been on a
rampage on Ebay lately, need to buy
food for the kids as well. Why can't they feed on vintage apparel? I do.

Gant Rugger Trunkshow / Yes Please





Again, from the Gant Rugger trunk show in Stockholm.
Refresh my browser and call me Nancy!
Louis Lunch








Louis Lunch is basically where the burger as we know it was invented. So it comes as no surprise I was like a kid in a kandi-store when we went there this september. They whip it up old skool stylee. Toast, patty, onion, tomato and cheese.

Historical landmark? Check.
Cool place & cool cook? Double-Check.
Vertically grilled patties in cast iron gas fueled Monsters from 1890's? Check
Wierd Birch Soda only locals truly understand the greatness of? Oh Yes.
Best Burger I've ever had? Not even close.

Oh, and if you go there, do ask for ketchup, I double dare you.
Didn't win
