Magical Corner

The question is, was the corner magic because we were there, or were we experiencing magic because of the corner? Here's the story: My friend Alan and I went on an Urban hike today, down Sunset Blvd to get coffee (for me) and tacos (for him). It's a friendly walk, I've done it many times, I enjoy it a lot. So we're heading down Sunset towards Pinches Tacos and we noticed at the intersection of Sunset and Laurel Canyon an awesome new MINI billboard that JUST HAPPENED to match the MINI bag I was c… Continue

Trademarks cost money

So I started the process of obtaining the trademark for the mini skirts a while back, it's a slow process, as one could imagine. Frankly, what I actually do imagine, the trademark office being a US Government run operation, that there are about 3 full time and 1 part time employees in windowless basement with Apple 2e's and dot matrix printers, fluorescent lights buzzing above their heads in one of the Smithsonians, sipping bitter coffee from a vending machine upstairs, generally hating life bec… Continue

Pepper White

Hi Skirts, I drive a 2006 cooper S. It's pepper white with a black top and black bonnet stripes. so basically, it looks like every 3rd MINI cooper in existence. so i got to thinking, "how do i make MY mini stand out!?" i thought about getting a custom paint job ($$$$$$$$$) and then i talked it over with my friend, walking companion, and MINI guru, Chief Skirt (Victoria). Victoria recommended that i check out www.cooperflags.com and consider buying a roof decal wrap from them instead of a custo… Continue

Pink Wine

Hi Skirts! It's midnight, and it's still about 75 degrees outside. I have the fan on, and the sliding glass door open, but it's only tolerable in my apartment. I walked to Whole Foods for dinner at 10 tonight, in a skirt and short sleeve shirt- not cold at all. Got a little warm, in fact. So I'm drinking pink wine with diet 7-up in it. It sounded refreshing when I was at the store. Not the 7-up part, but the pink wine part. I added the diet 7up because apparently 8 dollar pink wine is not yummy.… Continue

Turkey and Texas

I just wanted to say Hi to Turkey, apparently I'm HUGE in Istanbul (not Constantinople) and I don't know who you are, but hello, and please join us. I would also like to give a shout out to Texas! Second to California for clicks to this site. Let's see you be number 1, eh, Texas? I would like to extend a challenge to New Jersey, where I KNOW there are friends of Mini Skirts (Jim McDowell, ahem). You haven't been looking at this site enough. That is all. I want to welcome everyone who comes by, e… Continue

Stickers!

I ordered stickers for our cars the other day. I'm super excited about this. You see, here at Mini Skirts headquarters, we are operating on a shoestring budget. The reason I don't have a bazillion awesome shirts and stickers and keychains yet is because I haven't made the money to buy them yet. But little by little, this wee Capricorn is socking money away and heading on over to my local printer (Charlie Chans, right around the corner from my house, think locally!) to order stickers in time for… Continue

Day One -I am a MINI GIRL!!!!

Ok, so last night I got my MINI -yeaaaaa! so exciting K? :D I promised Victoria (BEST MINI SALES PERSON EVER) that I would not drive over 100mph for the first 1200 miles -still that sounds like a long time to me. I did not promise that I would not crank my stereo up though. Do speakers have to break in too? So, I drove. I cruised BH lookin for mini homies, only saw one :( I rode hard up the winding curves up Coldwater canyon -that was cool!! Back down to Ventura Blvd pulled up to a red ligh… Continue

I just want to give a power 106 shout out to Victoria, our Chief Skirt, for driving with me last week and showing me how to use my paddle shifters and how to get the most out of my sport drive. I'm lame, and I need help from Victoria every day of my life. Continue

Shhhh! We're hunting Porsches...

So we found this awesome video of a MINI chasing a Porsche on a closed circuit track at Rage Against the Mac (OK - we don't have everything in common with the guy). Anyway, it's a good demonstration of just how great of a performance car the MINI truly is. Watch as he catches the Porsche with relative ease. Nice piece of driving. Oh, and there's at least one other reason why this video rocks… Continue

MTTS Los Angeles!

You guys, I'm really getting excited for MINI Takes the States, it's in exactly ONE MONTH from TODAY. If you're not planning on going, you're going to be so sorry you didn't when it's all over with. You'll see the pictures and think "man, that looks like so much more fun than that wedding of mine that I went to" or "Geez, that was way more fun looking than backpacking around Europe" or "Golly, I wish I was doing that instead of spending the weekend with my friends and family." Seriously, it's go… Continue

Aren't you glad you have one (already)?

Gas is basically $5.00 a gallon and all of a sudden it's a big deal to be small. So of course Forbes.com recently published a story about the "Hardest-to-get cars." Guess who made the list? BTW - how much are you paying at the pump? Continue

Welcome to theminiskirts.com!!!

In addition to being a driving club with an online rally space, we plan at some point in the near future to bring you entertaining and perhaps even insightful content. In fact, we've got a monkey in a warehouse filled with lottery scratchers somewhere in Van Nuys, and we left him with five rolls of quarters. We figure it's just a matter of time before we have the budget. Until then, we found these really smart guys in Slovakia (WidgetLaboratory) who write the coolest killer web tools. One of th… Continue

Toosday

When I work at Rudy's Barber Shop, I like to help the people in my chair. I like to think that I do more than cut their hair, I like to give them things to think about: perhaps a new perspective on something, maybe a business idea, or something to write about. The problem is that I don't know what to write about. This new site, it launched a little over 2 weeks ago and I think it looks amazing, thanks to the Camper. We're still fussing with it, and I don't know if the layout will ever remain sta… Continue

The Mini Skirts 2.0

I'm so warm and fuzzy right now!!!! The new and improved Mini Skirts is here and it's so amazing I can't stand it!!!! My new job has opened up great opportunities to meet and talk to people that I wouldn't necessarily talk to, and one of my favourite clients told me about this new thing called ning.com which allows users to create their own social network, which is EXACTLY what the Camper and I have been looking for! All we ever said is that the mini skirts sho… Continue
