Here’s what’s for sale at Kinokuniya Bookstore on Post Street: Version 2 of the Sonny Angel Mini Figures series. They’re a modern take on the original kewpie doll. Collect them all.
But there’s a catch – each figure comes in a “blind box,” meaning you can’t tell which hat your adorable little angel will be wearing. Oh well.

Take your chances, why not?

This lone protester wants President Barack Obama to “End U.S. Military Aid to Isreal.” Or Israel, or something like that.
She was doing a dance for north-bound traffic on Van Ness, aka U.S. 101.

Welcome to San Francisco.

Fisherman’s Wharf’s World Famous Bushman busker might have run into trouble the other day, per the Wikipedia:
“On March 24, 2009 at approximately 3pm PST, the World Famous Bushman was observed on a stretcher being attended to by emergency personnel. The nature of the emergency is unknown, but those wishing to see his act must wait until further notice.”
David Johnson during happier times earlier this year, having just quarrelled with an SFPD commander:

Good luck WFB, hope you’re all right.

If you fly First or Business Class on Emirates, a mechanical robot will be happy to pick you up and take you to SFO for free. You’ll know he’s ready for you when the yellow light embedded in his forehead turns on.
At least that’s the way things seem after seeing this creepy MUNI bus ad.

Of course, things could be worse.

Well here they are, Marian and Vivian (or Vivan and Marian) Brown, the San Francisco Twins. They’re still on patrol in Union Square after all these years.
This duo was recently spied on Stockton Street betwixt Geary and Post, right in front of the new Gucci store. The gigantic ad they’re walking in front of has seen better days, as you can tell by the swaths of white paint.
Those darn graffiti artists are everywhere, it seems.
