Pagyaru derive their…

This is an occasion to reinforce Koike Kazuko’s reputation as a curator of fundamental power. The exhibition she put together introduces pieces of “clothing”, divided into five categories…

    I really like Threadless, an online t-shirt shop featuring original designs. So much so that I have 4 or 5 of their tees. Until the end of December, they’ve started a sale and are selling all their tees for $10. Also, they’re releasing 5 new designs every week for 5 weeks (they’re doing it like…
