This was a shop we passed by, Bell Jar (I immediately thought of the Sylvia Plath novel of the same name), but this shop had a lot of expensive frou frou shit in there.
Loved the pattern of the dress on the left, but I would never wear it. I'm not into A-line style. Although it's supercute on the mannequin, I know it won't be the same on me because of my body type. This would make me look short and stumpy. I'm not into the Donna Reed or Mrs. Cleaver 50's housewife dresses. You know, the kind where you need to wear your pearls and high heels while vacuuming or dusting. "Oh honey, I'm hooome!", ha ha. Yeah right. So not me.
Some cool iron scroll work...it was the fence for this house (photo below this one).
After what seemed like hours (but was in reality only minutes) of walking, we were there - at the Mission Dolores, the oldest building in San Francisco. Since TC learned about missions (last year in 4th grade), as well as the subjugation of the Native American Indians by the disease ridden Spaniards, we wanted to check this place out. Plus, part of Hitchcock's "Vertigo" was filmed here! But hey nowww, what's that over there?
It was a Van with crudely painted designs on them. I spied an incomplete American flag, a dog, Bill Clinton, a peace symbol and a tribute to Tupac Shakur! But wait there's more...
Check it out! It's a Jesus fish And the late Eazy-E (formerly of NWA) as well as what seemed like a huge friendly bear! When we walked to the other side of the van, Thane started to chuckle. I asked him what was funny and he said that the bear that I thought was kind of cute, was known as "Pedo-Bear" and that underneath his "cute" exterior lurked a more unsavory and sinister creature with Chester the Molerster like intentions. I had no idea that this image was a popular internet meme. Kinda creepy now.
Up next - the Mission itself.
