Where can I find similar type styles of clothing to such places as Urban Outfitters, SupermarketHQ, basically?
indie type shops that I may not of heard of but might want to shop at. Please don’t hesitate to throw some ideas in even if it’s a little off center. I really would like to broaden my horizons.

Anderson’s New Eco-Clothing Collection Called Borat-Inspired
Pamela Anderson’s new eco-friendly clothing collection, A*Muse, received its public premiere today during New Zealand fashion week — and spectators were treated to a bit more of the model/actress than they expected. Granted, we’re not sure a living person exists that hasn’t seen Pamela Anderson’s breasts — but while modeling on the catwalk, the front and back of her outfit fell away showing off a bit of almost everything; red thong included.
Could that flash have been intentional to save what at least one fashion critic called “a cross between supré and Borat”?
More reactions, video, and photos to come…

Quilters Create Obama Quilts & Clothing
Even before Barack Obama took office as President, quilters began making quilts commemorating the occasion. Many Obama related quilts and fabric art were displayed in Washington during the Inauguration era. Quilters continue making Obama fabric art, as well as clothing with his face appearing on the fabric.
A controversial garment making news is the dress worn by actress Victoria Rowell at the Emmy Awards. It was created from Ghana fabric featuring Obama’s portrait. Was this in good taste or not, seems to be a question, with answers depending on a person’s fashion taste and political leanings.
Kyra, at Black Threads, shows us photos of Ms. Rowell modeling her gown. For explanation of this particular cloth from Ghana, Kyra leads us to Karen Nicole’s blog post, Lost In Translation…or wrong dress at wrong time? There Karen tells us about the significance that fabric with portraits plays in Ghanian culture and why this particular fabric was designed. This gives us a much better understanding of the many Obama quilts and clothing using Ghana fabric.
