Bike Racks

Remember when only plumbers and maybe a few electricians showed their butt/ bike racks. I was working with some young ladies last night and there were bike racks everywhere. Not that I'm complaining. Maybe they want to become plumbers.


Just kidding about the plumbers.

Re: Bike Racks

It's fashionable for the young ladies to show off their "coin slots" these days



Also, gotta love the Duluth Trading Co.'s "Crack Spackle"




Actually a "longtail" tee with 3 extra inches in the back



(sorry John, I'm sure those weren't the pics you were looking for...lol)

Re: Bike Racks

Yes, "Coin Slots". I like that better.

"Fashionable" ? I guess they havn't been letting me out much lately.

John, pics of the plumbers or the ladies??

Re: Bike Racks

Hey slick, have you purchased any of Duluth's stuff? They send me a mailer every month and I was wondering how their quality is.

AFA the "coin slots", I hate "hip huggers" but if this is a side effect then they get my thumbs up.

Yeah, lots of stuff
Bags, belts, shirts, shorts, pants, hats...even a lunch box (which is awesome btw)
...even "wick-away" underwear and socks (I know, TMI-lol)
The work gloves are even better than the IronClad ones I've got
Great Quality
Excellent
Top Notch
The "Fire Hose" work clothes are tougher than nails
Sizes run true, or even a little roomy, so don't order a size up like with Wal*Mart stuff
Seriously, I can't recommend them enough

Re: Bike Racks

Good! I love to look through their mailer and now feel safe with ordering. I am tired of buying oversized shirts that still come untucked.

Re: Bike Racks

I remember the hiphuggers and miniskirts from the 60's. I'm glad to see that they're back. Makes a trip to the mall tolerable.

I just realized that I'm a Dirty Old Man! That sucks!

Speaking of which, did you take any pic's at the fantasy fest? No man in his right mind (unless drunk) would go there without a camera or two.

Re: Bike Racks

I've got a bunch! I love Hibiscus bodypaint! Some I can post, the really good ones I'm not so sure about. Maybe should talk to Nat. Maybe a link with a disclosure statement? No way can I e-mail everyone an address.

Re: Bike Racks

That's nothing. Did you get any pics of the Pope & Nun? Frankie? Bodypaint? I'll put some here but not the really good ones.
