Meet Tucker. Last year's winner.

Attention all pups and mutts: Get read to strut your stuff.

At first glance, you might have thought this mustachioed bike was a new addition to the Lyft family -- a taxi transport for our two-wheeled friends. But alas, this bike parked in the Financial District yesterday afternoon is neither a member of the Lyft family, nor does it belong to Mayor Ed Lee.

In fact, as were admiring the creative cycle, its owner appeared and informed us the mustache on this bike was a product of Molletta Design, a San Francisco-based company/coffee shop that "really gives a crap about what goes on you and your bicycle."

What did you just put on your face!

One of the benefits SF Weekly has enjoyed being housed in a deeee-luxe apartment in the sky is noticing that every last guy working for the kiddie TV network a few floors down wears Coke bottle glasses and Chuck Taylor low-tops. Perhaps it's in their contract.

The other is interoffice memos like the following. The good folks at Benefit Cosmetics do their thing on the 20th floor of our FiDi building. And, in a problem they wouldn't have if they were Benefit Gastroenterology or Benefit Synthetic Cheeses, it seems building tenants have been helping themselves to the demonstration products featured in the company's anteroom.

There are two reasons you shouldn't be doing this. First, you're stealing their display items -- and that's fairly obvious because some of this stuff is glued down. Second, this merchandise has been exposed to the aforementioned glue and a good deal of dust and is no longer prime material for slathering onto one's face and deep within one's pores.

A sharp-dressed man...

Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi and District Attorney George Gascón aren't exactly seeing eye to eye these days. But if a common bond could be forged, perhaps the first step to take would be uniting the warring city officials over their shared sartorial senses.

As police chief, Gascón was far more likely than not to wander into police headquarters dressed like a lawyer. Gascón is a lawyer, and Mirkarimi is not -- but, in the limited amount of time the sheriff has been permitted to do the job he was elected to do, he's often outfitted like one.

So, it was a bit jarring to see Mirkarimi clothed in full sheriff's dress regalia during the weekend's Veteran's Day March. Decked out in a forest green uniform complete with gold-starred epaulets and gold bands on an Eisenhower jacket, the progressive sheriff looks like he ought to be leaping off a Jeep and warning us about the perils of the Military-Industrial Complex.

Yet while this uniform might be a head-turner, it's actually something of a California template.

Nothing can provoke America's pathetically short attention span like a random lady with an American flag in her hair. Even though Obama was the winner in this presidential race, he wasn't exactly the star of his own show.

The Internet blew up with the hashtag #Hairflag as distracted viewers couldn't say enough about the anonymous yet now famous flag-haired woman sitting behind Obama; with every turn of her head, the cameras caught the flip of the flag that was prominently (annoyingly?) attached to her head.

Now she's now an Internet meme -- and probably doesn't even know it.

The only thing that would complete this outfit is a burrito

Recently, we decided that San Francisco's Mission hipsters have adapted a fashion that looks kinda like Bill Gates fucked a clown. Unbeknownst to us, that look is hot, hot, hot.

Believe it or not, the Mission District has been deemed the 20th most stylish neighborhood in the world. Sorry, Castro nudists, your dicks just aren't setting the fashion trends.

In any event, the editors over at Complex, an online lifestyle mag, have decided that Mission denizens give fashion and fun a good name, claiming that sunny hamlet is "one of the dopest neighborhoods in the world." We'd like to know what role gang colors have played into this calculation.

Per the magazine:

Have you ever wondered what those Castro nudists would don if they actually did walk around like the rest of us -- with clothes on?

Well, wonder no more. This group of exhibitionist activists met with Supervisor Scott Wiener last week to talk about naked men roaming the Castro. The group went to his offices at City Hall and were kind enough to dress up for the occasion.

Even better, they thoughtfully snapped a photo of themselves in clothing for all to see.

Buddy Holly makes a comeback in San Francisco

San Francisco was once deemed the worst-dressed city in the nation. And that makes sense, considering we've kinda created the "Bill Gates had sex with a clown" look.

A decade into the millennium, however, it turns out many denizens of San Francisco actually do care about how they look -- yes they paid good money to appear as though they haven't showered today.

As you can see below, some dudes in the Mission can confirm that S.F. manages to pull-off the "we just don't give a fuck" style really well. Ross Torres over at Mission Local seems to believe these guys are trend-setters. What do you think?

Let's hope they don't take the clothes off your back

Call the fashion police -- a clothing crook is on the loose.

A 62-year-old woman was taking a shower at her home on the unit block of Bertha Lane last night when she heard her front door shut.

When she got out of the shower, she went into her room to find her clothing had been stolen.

When fashion is a crime

Call the shoe police. Two men are on the lam after they held up a store in the city's Sunset District last night and stole more than 100 pairs of athletic shoes.

According to police, the two men walked into the store on the 2700 block of Judah and ordered customers to the ground.

The gun-toting men taped the victims' hands and feet together, and took their wallets and IDs before raiding the store of its shoes.
