Today is one of the best lists of Listmas. Seriously. I mean, Cy’s list was hilarious and Willy T’s has opened our eyes to like 6 new places to fill our stomachs, but Shea at Local Honey might’ve won our hearts with this one. Shea runs the ship over at Local Honey [the best vintage & handmade threads shop around town] We don’t know how she does it, but she manages to get everything you’d ever want to wear and then sells it for cheap. Oh and then she houses tons of local designers’ best duds for you [She’s one of them. Shea has her own line called White Rabbit and we always fall for the girls wearing her custom made skirts. Seriously, ladies, if you wanna get the boys going ga-ga you NEED to pick up one of her threads] Oh and then she has parties and shows and they’re always awesome. Oh and she’s a total babe.  We are such suckers for slang…

SHEA STEELE'S OUR HEARTS

WORD PLAY has long been one of my favorite things. The day my best friend referred to major deja vu as “meja vu” and I described a messy sex act as a “jizzaster”… we unleashed a beast!

Lately, wordplay is at an all time high. Puns, phonetic mix-ups, obscure and hilariously combined words or hack jobs are everywhere…. Here’s a list of the most clever and infectious rhetorical excursions I heard this year.
