On Sale in San Francisco: Anatomically-Correct Sonny Angel Mini Figures

Monday, March 30th, 2009

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.

This lone protester wants President Barack Obama to “End U.S. Military Aid to Isreal.” Or Israel, or something like that.

A Trip to the Hospital for San Francisco’s World Famous Bushman?

Thursday, March 26th, 2009

Fisherman’s Wharf’s World Famous Bushman busker might have run into trouble the other day, per the Wikipedia:

The Happy, Robotic Chauffeurs of Emirates Airlines

Saturday, November 29th, 2008

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.

The Famous Brown Twins are Still on the Prowl in San Francisco

Monday, June 23rd, 2008

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.
