Another reason we love SFGate's Catherine Bigelow? Shot like this: Society dowager Dede Wilsey posing next to male performers Adam Musgrave and Ronnie Reg Waite at a tricked out SOMA loft on Thursday night. (Typical Dede!) The bash was in honor of Jean Paul Gaultier's Bay Area arrival and his new exhibition at the deYoung. Read/see all about it. more ›

This weekend, mingle with art and tech enthusiasts, celebrate Irish heritage, rummage through racks of prime vintage fashions, sip tea with drag queens, or walk down the proverbial aisle with hordes of soggy brides. more ›

Concocted by the minds at San Francisco-based Cute Tank, this sartorial... stoke of genius? monstrosity? unbridled gayness? all of the above? Well, it will debut at their upcoming San Francisco fashion show party on March 17. Sure, you can tear your tussled hipster-gay hair out over the asymmetrical tank top's gloriousness, but you won't be rolling your eyes once you see it on Michael Fassbender? Ha! more ›

Looking for a new, free two-piece suit? Here's how you can get it: Wearing only your underwear please head down to Desigual in Union Square (101 Powell) after midnight on Friday, March 2; be one of the first 100 people in line; wait until the doors open at 9 a.m.; and then, if you haven't yet succumbed to hypothermia, you will get a free two-piece suit of your choice. But only if you're one of the first 100 people in line will you score a free suit. more ›

The fashion reports from Pebble Beach keep rolling in. First it was San Francisco Giants pitcher Matt Cain stepping out in argyle with the Giants broadcast team and now we have 2012 Bill Murray channeling 1980 Bill Murray and hitting the links in what appears to be an Army-issue camouflage ghillie suit for the AT&T National Pro-Am on Saturday. So far no incidents of exploding fairways have been reported. more ›

When it comes to the San Francisco Giants, there are fashion statements and then there are fashion statements. While Brian Wilson might be the undisputed king of fratboy costume party antics, it's nice to see a member of the Giants' pitching staff at least attempting to dress like a normal human being who steps out in public once in awhile instead of acting like an insane dictator. Anyhow, here's Matt Cain orange and black argyle pants at the Giants vs. 49ers Charity Shootout at Pebble Beach. A bold fashion statement, to be sure. more ›

Mission Mission brings our attention to something of the utmost importance this morning: a Converse All Stars-sporting hipster streaker caught by SFPD on Thursday night. An especially brave move seeing as how last night's weather almost dipped down to freezing levels. Anyway, we're thrilled he's wearing Mission denizens' favorite choice in footwear. It made us wonder what other neighborhood locals would wear if, through a combination of drugs and alcohol (or so we assume), they too went streaking in the night. more ›

At the Hilltop Mall in the city of Richmond, shots rang out at around 6 a.m. An estimated three thousand were in line waiting for the new Nike's new Air Jordan 11 Retro Concords.

Here's a pure, polished gem from the height of cat-eye glasses mania in 1955. We're pretty sure that there is not a single pair of frames shown here that is not butt-ass ugly. And we are also quite certain there are 1,000 girls in the Mission who would KILL for several of them if they happened upon them at Idol Vintage. [Polka-Dottie via WOW] more ›

During a Fleet Week fete on Saturday, Giants star Brian Wilson made an appearance at a party while sporting a bizarre outfit. While the pic's photog (from Portal A Interactive) didn't grant SFist permission to publish the image of Wilson and his unusual attire—which, among a bevy of sartorial accents, featured pleather MC Hammerian balloon pants, a large gold belt, and two gold chains extending down his legs—we can tell you that the noted pitcher wore an orange t-shirt that read, "Fear the mustache," complete with a cartoon mustache and rectangular eyeglasses. more ›

(Check out JustMarried for more details.) more ›

Because we can never not blog a Brian Wilson fashion statement, here's a shot of the bearded one's footwear spotted in the dugout Friday at Coors Field. The shoes, in case you missed all the hype, are Nike Air MAGs. Children of the 80s and Robert Zemeckis fans might recognize them as strikingly similar to the shoes Marty McFly picked up on a trip to 2015 in Back to the Future: Part II. Although Nike hasn't quite perfected the self-lacing technology from the movie, they do light up with LEDs - making them only slightly more awesome than the bright orange numbers that famously netted Wilson a hefty fine for wearing on the field. more ›

COMEDY: Ex-scientist turned comedian Tim Lee takes the stage at the Punchline. As NY Times reports, "The former biologist was Tim Lee. After completing his undergraduate biology degree at the University of California, San Diego, he worked at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography for a while before he realized he needed a doctorate to do the interesting work.

A group of men attacked a fellow bar patron at a bar on the 5700 block of Mission Street for apparently sporting the wrong kind of fashion. "The 31-year-old victim was pulled outside of the bar by five suspects who apparently did not like his shirt," reports SF Appeal. "The suspects beat the man and also took his cellphone and cash before fleeing." more ›
