Kathryn Irby, a former fashion editor at Lucky Magazine and vintage consultant teamed up with event producer and emmieshouse productions president, Emily Lichtenberg, to explore new ways of shopping your neighborhood.

OiScout: I occasionally see this couple, they’ve gotta be 40+, on the L eating breakfast. Fucking cup of noodles and they crush up whatever potato chips they have and put it in there. Sometimes they dunk it.
What’s the weirdest thing you’ve seen on the L? This guy still takes the cake for us. [via]
We are more than excited to announce that we will be performing “Son of an American” on the Late Show with David Letterman this Friday night. Better yet, Jon Hamm will be guesting on the show. Check your local listings!
