Now Available: The Nora Vasconcellos Guest Editor Box Set

Hot damn, another issue - lucky #72 - knocked right out of the park.

Sort of expected though considering this issue was edited, curated, and blessed by none other than the one and only, Nora Vasconcellos. For the tragically uneducated, Nora Vasconcellos is a world champion skater, the first woman in history to have an Adidas Skateboarding pro model shoe, the first and probably last skater to ever address the United Nations (the diplomatic assembly, not the Berrics series, though she is in one of those, too). 

Naturally, we have the issue on sale very soon, but why get just the issue when you can get the issue PLUS a box load of items curated and blessed by Nora herself? Here’s the sales pitch I thought of while watching the news this morning:

‘We live in a difficult and tumultuous time - wildfires, pirates, high cholesterol - and you are so brave to exist in it. So brave, in fact, that you deserve a few special little treats from the Nora Vasconcellos Guest Editor Box Set which includes limited edition and extremely comfortable Stance socks adorned with a beautiful Todd Francis original rendition of Nora’s (well, not exactly hers, but mostly hers) cat, Telephone, a sturdy, sustainable, and ever-fashionable Nora V x MC x Ty Williams tote bag, and a matching notebook and pencil set for writing love notes to all of your secret crushes. Oh, I nearly forgot to mention, if you’re lucky in the USA, your box could also include a Golden Ticket that wins you one whole entire Nora Vasconcellos Welcome Skateboards deck! ‘Holy shit!’ you’re probably muttering to yourself. Holy shit, indeed. With over $150 worth of goodies and the box selling for far less, you’d be a moron not to buy it.’

The issue itself is absolutely bursting with skating, surfing, bike trips, painting, lobster rolls, margaritas, cartoons, cats named Telephone, hard kombucha, arctic coolers, art from Maine to Maui, and so much more. It is perfect and expansive enough to fill that empty hole in your heart while also filling that empty hole in your bookshelf. Top to bottom, back to front, this issue is a testament to the passions and taste of someone we love.
