Rejoice, my friends, because we can now get married in 4 US states. That’s right. Massachusettes, Connecticut, Iowa (at least until they go the way of Cali), and now Vermont! Show your enthusiasm and your thanks to Mark Larson, David Zuckerman, John Campbell, who introduced the bill, with this classy retro shirt. And to celebrate, write the senators and reps in the other 44 states.

You know that Budweiser hoodie or that Jack Daniels tanktop that made you feel so badass when you were too young to legally consume alcohol? Well, this shirt is a step up from those, class-wise, but that iconic little bicycle lets everyone know that you like a cold one now and then.

It may be a bit late in the snow season, but there’s still time to hit the slopes with these HEATED snowboard pants. That’s right, folks. Flip a switch on the rechargeable battery pack and your pants are warmed up. Supposedly they’re also well ventilated, but I know I get overheated as it is cruising (ass over heels) down the slopes. Not to say that I don’t totally want a pair.

Show your love of soccer AND your love of the City by the Bay with this shirt. It’s the logo of the San Francisco Gales, a soccer team that split up most likely before you were born. And if SF isn’t your city, the site also has retro soccer shirts for Miami, Detroit, and Brooklyn among others.

You don’t have to live in New York to rock out this sweet shirt from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. It’s very noir, and the money, I assume, goes towards supporting some public transportation.

The problem with hot butch women is that I have to concentrate really, really hard to remember what they’re wearing so I can report back to you. Luckily I managed to commit to memory at least the shirt and jacket worn by a stylin’ lady I saw yesterday before my brain turned to happy mush. Her jacket was a grey wool military-inspired piece that may or may not be the Juicy Military Band Wool Jacket pictured here, which is sadly now unavailable new. I can’t find the likes of her shirt online anywhere, but it was awesome. Picture a white, striped button down shirt with folded silver wings embroidered on either side of the front. If you know where I can find such a thing, let me know.
There are some colors that certain people were made to pull off. I saw someone on the subway the other day who had darker (than me) skin wearing a polo of this color, and I thought “damn, that looks amazing.” Maybe you’ve got the right complexion for it too?

I swear I only bought this shirt because a) it was on sale for like $7 at my local Target and b) the graphics were slightly pixelated, which made me giggle. That said, I swear I’ve gotten more compliments on this shirt than anything else I have in my wardrobe. Which is like, 3 compliments, but still… Anyway, this is not a shirt to be worn buttoned up. The graphics are printed too high on the chest, and it looks silly buttoned up. Left open with a plain-ish shirt underneath, however, and we apparently have a winner.

Well, they’ve been trying to convince me that spring is coming soon. I’m not convinced that it’s ever going to be warm again, but just in case of that eventuality I’ve put up this jacket.

Straight leg jeans for gay gals. Another pair of jeans set apart by nice stitching and a fun fleur-de-leis on the butt. I personally prefer boot cut jeans, but straight leg is all the rage these days, so take a look if you like that sort of thing.
