I’m kinda digging the ‘punk, hobo-chic from London town’ look. The spider webs give it a witchy flare that would creep under Hot Topic territory , though. Eesh…… British designer Ashish really did their research at the bottom of the deepest London tube near Camdenlock Stables, which is actually my …

I thought I was the only with a Kidrobot obsession! It’s nice to know that Artist Bella Bronson shares the same insanity with me. Maybe we can share candy-colored strait jackets or something. Bella gave dunnys, munnys, ugly dolls, be@rbricks, and other vinyl toys a home on a cool hat! …
