Who among us hasn't dreamed of wearing a leopard-print dress with Eazy-E in full Native American headdress printed on the bottom right? Hope Perkins has been painting rappers (dead and otherwise) and other pop-cultural totems (David Bowie in his Labyrinth Tina Turner drag) onto her designer clothing line Hot Pink Pistol for a minute now, but we were only tipped off to her work, like, yesterday by a friend (and disembodied Idolator comments box zing-master). The clothes aren't particularly designed for the zaftig—and if you're a dude you're SOL—but if you're in the 6-10 size range, then you owe it to yourself to pick up a "Cap'n Biggie" to wear to your next dinner party or dice game. Otherwise, you can always buy, say, an Eazy E suitcase or one of Perkins' paintings. Some of them are a little creepy—you know, Chippendales dancer body with pink My Little Pony head, stuff like that—but it's wearable/hangable/useable cute-creepy, so it's okay. See, you thought the only thing that came out of Austin these days was SXSW hype.

hipster bullshit.
This is my favorite Idolator post of all time.
It is a glory unto the end of the universe.
Can someone lend me $550 for the Tupac Goes to Dairy Queen painting? I need it desperately.
This is the hipster version of the guy at the flea market who sells giant rugs with wolf murals on them. Man, I really wanted one of those rugs.
