Whodini Handmade... Long Beach, CA

Just got home from a week long va-kay in Santa Cruz...and to my surprise, a package from my dear friend Jay from Whodini Handmade. My BF bought his new Mr. T tee and boy, talk about marketing skills (I see Mr Jay learned a thing or two from OCC).

Hand bleached, hand screen printed, re-tagged, made from recycled tees. All this encased in a little pouch (soon to be remade into a doggy pillow). Even the freakin' envelope was jazzed up! That boy got talent!

We are in the midst of an Indian Summer here in the Bay Area and I'm gearing up for our family's annual "Santa Cruz in October" week.

So you got to live and learn and I think these tees are the perfect "must have" while spending time in my favorite beach town, or taking the dogs to the Park Chalet here in SF, or checking the waves in Pacifica...




Here are a couple of great ones for the guys:



and for babies:



All of these shirts, and a ton more are available at www.theryde.com

Here is another "must have" while riding your 'ped. Also, with the autumn breeze not going anywhere anytime soon these will definitely come in handy. ps...can we talk about how amazing the gloves above are? Here are some other options to inspire to get your glove on:

Paul Bunyan was a babe, nyc, sept.07

I have just one wish this autumn season, and that is for all the men in my life(you know who you are) to be lumberjacks. I realize this is a lot to ask on such short notice which is why I will settle for guys who at least look like they could work wonders with a pile of woodchips.
