Former Target designer James has opened a white-walled retail sleeve -- rustic'd up w/ gilded mirrors, vintage sconces, etc -- to hawk hand-printed graphic tees fusing pop culture and not-pop history, like a Viking helmet scrawled w/ "Life Liberty and the Pursuit of Booty", or an African tribesman captioned "Extinct Hipster". Heavier garb runs from plaid button-downs w/ four-button cuff plackets to asymmetrically zipping military-style jackets, all inspired by "the 1960s and 19th Century" -- for that rarely accomplished Fort Sumter of Love look.

Everybody loves Christmas, but how to send season's greetings if your people killed Jesus? Rejoice with these cards sporting art from hilariously earnest vintage Jewish LPs, including "The Moishe Oysher Chanukah Party", Sol Zim's "The Joy of Chanukah", and Ray Brenner and Barry E. Blitzer's ontologically impossible but undeniably festive "Have a Jewish Christmas".

The boutique hotel's broken out three ltd-edition city name tees designed by local artists, including old school pro skateboarder Natas Kaupas (LA), graffer Jose Parla (Miami), and an NYC tee by graffer Haze, who's designed logos for MTV and famously scrawled the words on the cover of "Check Your Head" -- a credit somehow omitted from the liner notes of your LimeWire'd MP3.

Inspired by that guy who took a pic of himself every day for five years, this scrapbooking service accepts one shot of your face per day (via webcam or email) and collates them into a slideshow. You'll also get daily reminders to photograph yourself, as if anyone this diligently vain would need one.

Up to 85% off Fall '08 gear (argyle sweater vests, wool slacks, glossy nylon jackets,...) from United Bamboo, a NY brand inspired by the designer's Japanese heritage, not Taiwan's United Bamboo triad, who everyone knows are all about houndstooth sweater vests.
