I'm not going to bother with the wikipedia links. :)

Until the past 2 weeks, I don't think I've EVER owned a shirt with collar stays, including my custom-tailored Maxwell's shirts.

In my shopping for my new job, I now own 3, and I'm perplexed.

Is it just Collar Stay Time in the fashion world? Or have I just somehow missed them in the past?

(Really, I need to check all of my older dress shirts and make sure that none of them take stays, and that I've just been wearing them floppy collared when I shouldn't have been..)

So, I have 4 really nice tie dyed t-shirts, 3 from these folks - later 'this guy' - from central VA, dba Yakshi, one from some unknown source.

Unfortunately, all 4 of them are dying from age and wear. More unfortunately, Yakshi's no longer doing clothing - the last time I saw him, he was only doing large art hangings.

So who's got a source of exceedingly good tie-dyed t-shirts they want to share?

(Yes, I know. I don't ACTUALLY need any more t-shirts... but I'd like to have some good tie-dye... And hell, if they have some really exquisite fabrics, maybe I'll have Maxwell's make me a tie-dyed formal shirt next time they're in town. ;)

Where do you go if you want to buy it /NEW/?

So, where do (female) people go around here to buy their goth/retro/clubbing/vintage-styled clothing?

Asking for someone else on my friends list who's despairing of Boston's ability to provide.

observation of the night... Lo rider pants worn wrong can make a woman look like she's either packing or a tranny.

I've developed SOME taste in shwag... I just turned down a jagermeister thong.
