I have driven past Male B Wear countless times before on my way to HEAT–or Essence if I’m feeling like a dirty girl–and it has always caught my attention. But I never wandered inside because while I would LOVE yellow ass-less undies with the word “twerk” embroidered on the front, I knew that they were…

Tips for navigating the sharing economy
The Sharing Economy, children. Have you made its acquaintance? If Lyft has ferried your drunk carcass home across the river Tryx, you are already part of it. Sharing Economy apps and online services may help people get around town, but they also offer lodging in private homes and spaces around the world. Users trade room…
Bianchi shops Niche Boutique
It was the night of November 13, 2012. The weather was colder than a frozen TV dinner in an igloo on top of a mountain, and the wind was whipping around like Beyonce’s ass at the VMAs. But I had to brave the harsh 60-degree San Antonio conditions to attend the grand opening for Niche…

Some had only recently discovered her talent from her stint on Project Runway; others have been following the 27-year-old since her Incarnate Word days, where she won first place in construction at the Cutting Edge Fiesta…
Bianchi shops the Sporting District
Not going to lie, I have been abnormally excited about checking out the Sporting District ever since I heard of the store coming to fruition in the Pearl Brewery complex. Abnormal for me because I am usually excited by men taking clothes off as opposed to wearing them. Is this what adulthood is? Hope not.…
Bianchi shops the Madewell La Cantera opening
First order of business to discuss regarding the Madewell La Cantera grand-opening party : EVERYTHING WAS SO BEAUTIFUL! Second order of business: You don’t get to see any of the beautiful pictures I took because a very nice lady informed me that “The Man”–aka Madewell’s corporate office–doesn’t dig on surprise press visits. So apologies, but…

Male B Wear is looking for models
Male B Wear, the Main Street men’s foundation-garment shop, has turned its local-model pop-up into a full-time offering. The store opened this summer and in August partnered with Carlos Ibarra of Ci3 Photography to put San Antonio bums in their bottoms for a series of refreshingly real-feel ads. The store’s growing Facebook fan base has been enthusiastic.…
