A fashion fixture in San Francisco for almost fifty years, Wilkes Bashford previews their fall 2010 collection starting tomorrow. WB has long been a favorite of the SF cognoscenti... former Mayor Willie Brown once revealed that if Wilkes Bashford were to ever close he would “have no other place in town to buy clothes.” The City's First Lady, Jennifer Siebel Newsom will host a champagne reception this Friday from 11am – 2pm introducing one of her favorite designer, Behnaz Sarafpour. Also this weekend, peruse the newly-threaded Michael Kors' collection of men's suits and outerwear. Swing on by for a sneak (out of work) peak.

How amazing and humbling. So instead of driving out to Vacaville, allow me to introduce you to (queue drumroll) Urban Curling! Urban Curling is like curling on a shuffleboard table with the curling broom replaced with speed powder.
