Triumvir Winter Web Store Sale! 40%-60% off!!!

Okay, I’m speaking from experience here (and of course I love Triumvir) you will come up on a bunch of stuff for cheap!  I mean, mainly T-shirts (probably) but jeans and coats are not to be missed!  Even a quick trick to Triumvir’s webstore right now will net you some deals on clearance items and off season stuff but the sale?  Flush.  They are also putting winter ‘09 stuff on sale which means 5 or 10 dollar shirts… probably.  Go check it out.  Of course click the add to be taken there.  Sale goes from Dec 9th, 9am Pacific (Westcoast, bay bay)  to Dec 16th 9pm ( I get paid on the 17th :/ )

Kidflush Begs the Question: Why ShopNBC?

Maybe you think you can find that elusive, Tonight Show with Conan O’Brian ball cap or maybe a 30 Rock Polo Shirt or some corny NBC golf gear.  I don’t even know if any of this stuff exists (of course it does) but it certainly ain’t at ShopNBC.  So what is ShopNBC anyway?  I didn’t really go there to find that out, I wanted to see if they had any interesting apparel (for cheap).  I think they had 4 items for Dynasty-hangover women (Dynasty as in the 80’s night soap).  In fact I can say right now that this whole site is for women.  Nothing said that more than one particular category I found quite pleasing.

Well the layout was very walmart-ish, lots of categories, feelings of limitless-ness but then you remember: this is shopNBC, what could they have?  Then your eyes fall further along the column and you see a category selection for price range (hmmm).  Usually an indicator of large inventory but those price categorizations can be dream killers.  If I look in my price range (for cheap) I won’t find anything so I’m thinking why go on.  It makes me look at the higher price range like: I’m not paying for anything from shopNBC for this much.  So unless you have a huge inventory where people are likely to find somthing they like for cheap, ditch the price range category.  A nice drop down box on the search results would be best.  I’m more likely to spend out of my price range if I find an item in general population.

There were some watches featured on the front page, I figured I may take a gander but wasn’t overly interested.  Nothing stood out.  I clicked the apparel button and when 7 items appeared, I leisurely looked around for the buttons separating men and women, or more categories on the left or… there… must… (heh) be more than… 7 items.  Now I’m questioning my selection of this review assignment (assigned by me).  There is no men’s category all there is, is Pamela McCoy.  I don’t know who Pamela McCoy* is but ShopNBC definitely does.  She’s all over the place.  Is it some kind of vanity label?  Is it connected to the soaps?  Help me out here.

I had to find something worth buying (for my Flush Five at least).  I clicked around to the sports memorabilia and actually found a few things, a couple possibly worth buying, like a signed Manny Ramierez Bat (Mannywood!) but it was over $300bucks.  There was a piece of Michael Jordan floor plaqued-up and signed for, like, $100bucks.  Stuff is expensive there.

Next I clicked around to lamps, I was getting desperate.  But I found this accent lamp shaped like a frog rocking out with a guitar.  He wasn’t really rocking out, I guess, just sitting on a lilipad playing his guitar.  It was $31bucks.  Around this time I noticed the recentlly viewed items bar at the bottom.  Almost a fetish for me.  Wasn’t much to display there though.  They have shite for inventory at that place.  Just as I cursed ShopNBC I noticed a little thumbnail link to gourmet food (don’t ask me how I found it).  Gourmet food?  Really.

Yeah, really.  And let me just start out by saying: Papa’s Desserts Cheesecake sampler.  That’s where it all started.  I mean, they had the filet mignon, the steaks, gourmet burgers, the steak sandwich steaks, the… All that stuff was great and I’m going back to look again on a food porn session (mayo=lotion?) but it was when I found page upon page of cheese cake that I fell in love.  I don’t even like cheesecake that much but they were serving up some weapons grade, dairy desserts.  Frosted, flavored, fruited, it was criminal.  Cheesecakes must be insurance against must see TV.  Every Law and Order spinoff must be mortgaged from cheesecake.  Cheesecake is figured into the pay statement of NBC employees.  In California, instead of money, NBC employees got IOU’s written in cheesecake.  Cheesecake.

But out of all that Cheesecake, Filet Mignon and Jumbo Coconut Shrimp (unmentioned until now) not one of these gourmet items was on sale.  I’d have to get a fat rebate from Rebate Zoo on that mess!  But if I can get a decent percentage I’ll be buying a new fridge to house all the cheesecake I’ll be buying.

*(It’s named after a host of the home shopping channel: ShopNBC.  Oh yeah, the shopping channel, I get it now.)

Flush Five from PacSun!

Quick Carver Sandal

Kirra Jacob Short

Hurley Haven Tank

Billabong Surface Tee $22.50

Rook Chief Rocka Tee $22.50

Well, I like when I can go to a webstore and buy a whole outfit, on sale.  Just a big fat mission accomplished and I didn’t have to do anything.  And that’s what I’ve done here (wait, I did stuff) by choosing the Quicksilver Quick Carver Sandals, the Kirra Jacob Shorts and the Hurley Haven Tank.  All three on sale, all three have an additional 5o% off the markdown and, frankly, all three look good together.  Now, the shorts are black, they go with anything (go figure) but hey, there’s a whole gaggle of Tank Tops over at PacSun; might as well stand out as the guy who chose the good looking one.  Now to be honest, as hot as its been lately (lately?  It’s summer!), I’d just as soon not wear anything black until the sun went down.  But when it does, light blue, dark blue and black?  You’re looking smooth and then the sandals flip flops?  Flush, kid…  You do stuff outside when the sun is down right?  Bonfires? I don’t know, night time, summer party stuff… up on the roof!

For the last two items on my list, I went the route of the Graphic Tee.  I found the coolest script graphic in the Billabong Surface Tee I’m not totally into the silvery-ness of it but the font is dope.  The green’s not a bad color for it either, looks like it’ll age well.   The coolest (photo) graphic is on the Chief Rocka Tee.  Feathers are ill, got the shades, simple but original.  Neither of these are on sale, which does suck, BUT all the other stuff is, like 75% off and it’s brand new, what more can you ask?  Smooth it out with a Tee or two from the current line (LOL, the flag ship piece?) then you’ll be legit.

PacSun

PacSun, passing out the Sunshine With Additional 50% off!

PacSun

Slap me if I ever suggest a hoodie in the summertime.  It’s hot!  This is when keeping it hood goes wrong.  So on my virtual trip to PacSun I was looking to get something lightweight (if not cool) and simple.  What I got was tank tops.  But hey, I mean, as long as your pits are civilized these weekends call for an opportunity to wear a damn tank top (nothing where it’s gonna be tight and crowded).  If not?  You need to create that opportunity.  So you want tank tops, you got tank tops: click on.

Well not much has changed since the last time I visited the PacSun website.  They have a music tab now, so you can listen to music while you click away.  That’s cool.  But I must say the items that were on sale haven’t changed.  What has changed was the addition (subtraction) of 50% off the markdown.    What’s better?  Those tank tops I balked on before are looking real good right now, especially with that extra half off.  I’ll be a cheap, flushkid today.

Anyway, the layout is simple, plain and to the point, just how I like it.  Along the left side is a list, girls on top, guys on the bottom.  You click something, you go there, you see clothes.  The centerpiece of the page flashes 2 for one deals and has models acting like they aren’t modeling the clothes.  Current deals on the right, feature that which we will not mention (hoodies) on sale.

So as I start clicking on stuff I remember why I liked this site before, it worked right (correctly).  They had three alternate views for each selection, suggestions and a big fat “add to cart” button.  I hate when that button is tiny.  All I can bitch about is: they didn’t have a last viewed window.  I didn’t miss it or anything but I had to say something was wrong (journalistic integrity).  It was also great to see a Paypal option for payment.  Flip that eBay money!

If The Machines Takeover, We’ll Have Hot Days Off!

Hey, what can I say?  It’s a little known fact that electronics and heat don’t mix. So let’s just say, activity has been down during our little Cali heatwave but if anyone was worried, Kidflush survives!  I’ve been looking for cool stuff to wear (and less of it) that and trying to find stuff to cover the windows with.  It’s like an easy bake oven in here!

KidRobot Finally Does it Right! %75 off!

Kidrobot finally decides to do it right (just like the title) and I’m too broke to capitalize.  The last part makes me mad, the first part happy.  I’ll tell you what, if I did have money, I would get this ill crewneck!

Team Labbit Men's Crewneck $21.25

It’s even got olde’ English lettering on the back.  It was once at the ridiculous price of $80bucks now it’s at the other extreme: $21.25!  Just last week they begin the sale at Kidrobot, T-shirts were still like $25- 30 bucks which to me isn’t much of a sale but by Kidrobot standards?  Let me tell you, cheap.  Now with this %75 off sale, we’re talking cheap.  Kidrobot clothes are wildly overpriced (for reasons I still haven’t discerned) so take advantage of this sale.  Plenty of stuff is already out of stock.  Won’t be much left and who knows when a sale like this will be back.  Click the pic for the link.

History of the Sperry Top-sider (not saying go get some)

Top-siders

Debonair mag is featuring the history of the Sperry To-sider… not much of an article, more of a blurb but there is a link!  That link will take you to Sperry (oops is that the link?) where you can read a whole lot more.  But hey, thanks for pointing it out Debonair.

Additional %30 off Clearance items @ Ecko!

Starts today thru the weekend.  You’re probably going to get a bunch of stuff real cheap.  A word of advice: Don’t dilly dally, or you won’t be finding your size in the ill shit.  Just sayin’.  The Clearance shop on Ecko.com is already chock ful of nuts.  You have a lot to choose from, not just a couple of ugly shirts they couldn’t sell.  Plus shit is REALLY on sale but now we’re talking an additional %30 off.  Don’t miss out.  Click the ad for the link!
