Skinny Puppy - February 2014
When we opened FashioNation back in 1987 there was never any thought of meeting & hanging out or putting our gear on our Idols.. how does this keep happening? - this store is a special place
Pixies - February 2014
The Pixies were playing the Fillmore when Joey Santiago took us up on our offer to set the band up with Dr. Martens. Â He picked a bad ass pair of 14 eye black Doc's. Â (with store kid Michael)
Pixies - Rock Star Boot
Joey busted out a sweet Pixies logo on this 15 eyelet steel toe from 'Steel' for the boot collection!
The Smiths - Andy Rourke - January 2014
Andy Rourke rolled in the store along with Michael Trundle, good friend of the shop.  - I know i keep saying that about Michael but he brings in giant rock stars to Dj with him at his club night "LIPGLOSS" and he takes them around town during their visit to the cool record stores and always comes to FashioNation which is rad.
This Charming Man
I had a blast with Andy going over all my Smiths records, he graciously signed all of them telling stories about each.  I didn't realise i had a few rare pieces, just bought them as they came out, but I had the first pressing of the 12 inch to 'What Difference Does It Make' with Terence Stamp holding a chloroform pad and a first pressing of Meat is Murder without 'How Soon is Now' in the tracks
Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before
I know.. rock stars and boots.. but so what, they wear shoes and it's rad they get them from us! Â Andy took his time to find the perfect pair of Doc's.
The Smiths - Rock Star Boot
One of my favorite bands, 'Now, today, tomorrow and always'. The Smiths boot in our collection!Â
Dead Kennedys - Jello Biafra
You dream about days like this and then they happen!  Jello - Freaking - Biafra at our shop getting Dr. Martens!  He Lives in Boulder, so not too far from FashioNation.  He made his way to Denver for a promotional visit at Wax Trax Records (best record store on the planet) he stopped in after his gig.  (with store kids Doug,Tina & me)
We've Got A Bigger Problem Now - Mr. Biafra
Did I mention Jello just can't make up his mind... seriously.. can't do it.. . I suppose if you have a customer who's in the shop forever deciding on what to get, it's pretty cool for it to be a living legend.  I think brought him every size 10 black DM we had in stock.  all in all a great day!  - (side note, did you ever see Tapeheads with John Cusack? Jellos in that too .. fun flick!)
Dead Kennedys, Jello Biafra - Rock Star Boot
Nazi Punks Fuck Off - Jello tell'n ya -  we got a pure DK punk soul for boot collection!
