 Peggy Oki - the original Dogtown girl carving some pavement

Tonight is the annual Skateboard Hall of Fame awards. It's a big night for all of us skater girls (and guys) where we come out to honor our peers, see longtime friends and have a blast together. Last year we partied long into the night when our own Patti McGee was the very first female skater to be inducted into the Hall of Fame and tonight we will do the same for this years female inductee, Peggy Oki. Congrats to both of you!!

The girls above are just a few of my rad friends who made skateboarding what it is for girls today. They skated way before it was "cool/trendy", ripped as hard as the boys, and looked graceful doing it.

Tonight (and always) I honor each and every one of you girls!

Wes Humpston Dogtown Skate Art

 

With skateboarding being all the rage in fashion circles lately, I thought I'd post some original art work that my good friend and OG Dogtown artist and skater, Wes Humpston  has just decided to release to the public. This is a very rare situation and I know these pieces will go fast. Seriously how rad would these be in one of the houses you see on The Selby or The Coveteur or in your house!?

For availability & prices you can reach Wes directly at whumpston@hotmail.com

Sidewalk Surfin'

vintage selection of boards at Free people - who knew?

Speaking of skateboarding - I'm heading to the Skateboarding Hall of Fame Awards this Saturday night where I get to help celebrate Patti McGee being the first woman to be inducted into the hall of fame.

So Rad!!

I will of course be posting about Patti and the whole evening very soon.

Boise & Fanci Freez

Had about an hour to walk around yesterday afternoon and got to see some of downtown Boise, Idaho.

Here is the view....

Fanci Freez was my favorite find of the day!

Damn skateboarders....
