A second, dude-focused store from the Project No. 8 folks, this Spartan, white-walled box peddles two types of expertly curated, high-design wares: made-to-order furniture from Germany's e15 (polygon-ish wooden chairs, modular rectangular wall shelves...), and ready-to-wear Euro duds like cream & khaki-colored jackets from Sweden's Hope, dark grey vests & overcoats from Belgium's Stephan Schneider, and slim, mod, v-neck sweaters, cardigans, and vests from Berlin's Kostas Murkudis, who sews a tiny pocket into every piece for holding guitar picks -- similar to condom pockets, they will probably remain empty.

This dark grey tee rocks a lithograph-style print of the Statue of Liberty holding aloft an M-16 in lieu of a torch, as if to say "give me your huddled masses, yearning to say hello to my little friend".

From the obsessive info-graphers at GOOD mag, the Hall assigns the mascots of the big-four pro leagues to branches on the animal kingdom tree, revealing weirdly fascinating insights like that eight teams are repped by mammals (The Pats' Pat Patriot, the Padres' Swinging Friar, etc), four by fish & dinos (Florida Marlins' Billy, Colorado Rockies' Dinger the Triceratops...), and only one by a mollusk, the Detroit Red Wings' Al the Octopus -- ostensibly because a fish market owner once threw an octopus on the ice for good luck, and it worked, for the hockey team...

Yoko's closing down its Bklyn shop and liquidating both in-store and online inventory, including $20 cotton button-downs and $5 v-neck tees with summer, military, and drug themes, e.g., boats with houndstooth sails, dog tag and rosary silhouettes, and a toile print comprised of razor blades, dollar bills, syringes, and scales (blow re mi...).

The latest/pointiest offering from the NY-based Sexy Slang couple, this regulation size dartboard links sexual positions to each numbered section (reverse cowgirl, butterfly...octopus!) and comes complete with coitus-themed game suggestions, including Sixty-Nine (score exactly 69pts) and Carnal Cricket, like regular cricket but you close out positions instead -- so you can doubly embarrass yourself when you're unable to hit positions you're unable to hit.
