OMG - OMOI
2010
Or...at least i think it was a plush-slap bracelet-flower pot. Could have been a bonsai tree / die cast jewelry.
OMOI is one of the coolest placest to find some of the coolest things from aroudn the world. It comes by way of Japan in many cases. but that’s not a rule. come to think of it, i don’t really think they play by rules. They live in a quiet secluded part of Pine street, which is a great place to incubate some of the city’s premier consumer oddities.
Walking in is overwhelming at first, but the more you dig the more amazing stuff you find. it’s a wonderful place to wile away an hour, but for those of you who have never been, this saturday the kindly people of OMOI will help provide us a guide to their ethos and show us what the store is all about.
I’m particularly interested in figuring out where the chainsaw-wielding bunnies come from, but that could of course be a trade secret...

I’ve been trying to get these guys to give a Pecha Kucha since i wandered into their store and found a watch that told time in disco balls, a shirt better than three-wolf-moon, and what i could have sworn was an authentic slap bracelet repackaged as a flower-pot / plush doll.
