Interview: Lil Bub
Wow! Today we had the absolute pleasure of meeting Lil Bub, the best lil internet cat in the entire world. (Well, we think so anyway.) We asked her the hard-hitting questions and got back some equally intense answers. Lil Bub for President! —Katie
Hey Lil Bub! Did you have fun in Philly?
Yes.
Do you just absolutely love Colonel Meow?
Yes.
Do you like fish?
Yes.
Do you know the meaning of life?
Yes.
Are you sitting on Whoopi Goldberg's lap tomorrow?
Yes.
Uh oh, someone's getting sleepy! Good luck with your busy week, Lil Bub!
Zzz.
Burrowing Home
Okay, I have been SO into temporary tattoos lately. And luckily when Hello Kitty just isn't cutting it, I can head over to Etsy to get my fix. My favorite right now are these black and white woodland creature tattoos from Burrowing Home. They almost look like they could be real, but luckily they wash off with soap and water so you can slap these bad boys all over your face if you feel like it. The shop owner sells prints as well, just in case you want something a little more permanent.—Katie
Stay Home Club
Stay Home Club is a great website that features different items for sale from a multitude of artists, and they're all great, but I have to say my favorite on the site is the actual logo done by artist Olivia Mew. It's a cute little girl and her cats and they're staying at home! Never has the internet related to something more. Let me wallpaper my life with this logo, TBH. The site also has a ton of cool patches for making all those denim vests you own look even better, and even some adorably perfect "Girl Gang" handkerchiefs.—Katie
UO Look of the Week: Brian DeYong
Here's our favorite look of the week: Our Display Director Brian has traveled everywhere from Walmart to Paris, but our favorite piece of this look is his panda patch!
I am the Display Director yo!!! Basically, I get yelled at by every creative person out there who thinks all Urban does is steal their ideas. Frankly there is nothing new under the sun and we have probably been doing it longer than they have. I guess that is just part of working for "The Man." UO is an easy target.
What are you wearing?
Haha, you kind of caught me on a good day. I am going to sound so well travelled!!! I am wearing a black hat from WalMart, a Henrik Vibskov button up, a vintage Oakland Athletics tee I found in San Fran, Black Levis 510s, USA sock from DC, and oxblood MOMA boots from Merci in Paris (I love that store).
Uhmmm, not typically an accessory kind of guy. I'm usually pretty stripped down and generic. I have to give Jesse Medlin (a Senior Display Coordinator in NYC) a shout out for getting me into the flair game. We went to this giant flea market/thrift store in Maryland and I found a rad old Caboodle so I filled it with cheap pins from the same spot, since then I have been stocking up on quirky patches and the like. I will probably end up giving them all away in a few months—nothing lasts.
Tell us a funny or sentimental story behind a piece of clothing you own.
Lets see, about five years ago Julia Koral (Manager of Display Design) gave me a sweatshirt with a really bonkers techy/African print on it. I was in Berlin a few years back and let a cute friend of a friend borrow it after a long night of hanging (it was chilly in the early morning). I didn't see her again during the trip and thought the sweatshirt was all but lost. Last year I met up with my friend Chris in New York (he was visiting from Berlin) and he had rescued the sweatshirt and returned it to me. I have probably only worn it like three times ever but I really like that I have it.
You travel a lot, which I'm sure leads to shopping in a lot of strange places. In your opinion, where is the best shopping city/town in the USA?
I guess its all about what you are into. Some of the weirdest, smallest cities have the best thrifting and generally rad shit, New York has essentially any designer you are looking for, but I have found the mid-sized cities like Austin, Minneapolis, San Fran, etc. have a lot of personality and great vintage without much pretense.
Where can we find you on the web?

UO Look of the Week: Adam Cantiello
Here's our favorite look of the week: Our Partnerships Marketing Manager, Adam Cantiello, sports our Stapleford Drewes shirt with the cutest accessory we've ever laid our eyes on.
My name is Adam Cantiello and I handle the marketing partnerships for Urban Outfitters. I am from Philadelphia, PA and I'm a huge hockey fan. You can usually find me spending my Friday nights at The Standard Tap.
What are you wearing?
Clarks desert boots (not shown), Levi's jeans, Stapleford Drewes shirt, and a jacket from H&M.
Who or what do you look for for style inspiration?
I like to look for clothes that are practical for all occasions.
What is one item of clothing you could never live without?
My Levi’s or Vans.
Who is your friend? Does he like to wear any clothes? If so, what's his favorite look?
This is Dump Truck, and below is him in his hand-me-down baby Ralph Lauren hoodie. He couldn’t walk it it, so we had to cut it to a vest.
Vinecats
Not able to sit at around all day at home and play with cats? Well now you can sit around all day at work and WATCH cats, with Vinecats. Problem solved, cat ladies. Now, gimme gimme more, gimme more, gimme Gimme More Cats.-Ally
Puppy Bowl IX
In honor of the Puppy Bowl airing on February 3 (yeah, same day as that other bowl), Discovery put up this puppy cam! Puppies! Of course the little idiots are sleeping right now, but that's not going to stop me from creepily watching them anyway. The actual puppy bowl is also sure to be a delight, especially since they added hedgehog cheerleaders this year. Squeeeal.—Katie
Trend: Unicorns
Unicorns are wonderful, imaginary creatures, and we should all be thrilled that they're popping up on everything from T-shirts to iPhone cases. Unicorns may be hard (okay, impossible) to find in real life, but thankfully easy to find on clothing. Rainbow hair, don't care.—Katie
UO Unicorns iPhone 5 Case
When I glance at this quickly it almost looks dirty, but in reality it's just cute li'l unicorns hanging out with some balloons. Nothing wrong with that.
Cooperative Applique Unicorn Flat
I'm going to throw in an emoticon here: XD Because that is the emotion these shoes make me feel and I don't think words are able to convey that properly. 
Gift Card Charm Necklace
The most majestic necklace I've ever seen.
Junk Food Haters Gonna Hate Unicorn Tee
No one could hate you while wearing this beautiful unicorn shirt. When you wear this, you should also throw in some Unicorn Hair Extensions so you'll be perfectly coordinated.
Urban Renewal Fuzzy Unicorn Necklace
Actually, just kidding. This is the most majestic necklace I've ever seen.
Truly Madly Deeply Galaxy Unicorn Boyfriend Tee
Unicorns + space = the most perfect and Tumblr-y T-shirt in existence.
Trend: Put It Away
In the spirit of getting it together, let's take a look at some things that can help your apartment start looking more like a real human's house instead of the home of disorganized wolverines. Who knows, maybe you'll get inspired.—Katie
Invisible Double Book Shelf
This shelf is great because the screws just go straight into the wall and boom, you're done. If you've ever tried to put up an Ikea Lack shelf, then you'll understand why this is so important.
Over-the-Door Vanity Station
This is seriously the most ingenious thing ever! Over the door! Shelf space! A mirror! Whoever invented this thing deserves a Nobel Prize.
Scroll Wall Hook
This coat hook/shelf combo would be so handy. Just make sure you aren't screwing this sucker into a plaster wall because plaster + five heavy coats + delightful succulents = probable catastrophe.
Waiting Room Magazine Rack
A magazine rack is basically like, "Here, let me hold this trash for you until you stop being too lazy to put it in the actual trash can," but at least your old magazines will look classier in this thing than strewn all over the bathroom floor.
Cubed Curiosity Shelf
Perfect for displaying your dog-baby hybrid vase (trust me, you want to click that link).
Trend: Cat Shirts For Dudes
Hello, gentlemen! Now, admittedly, I may not know much about men's fashions. Y'all are tricky. I have no idea what dude stuff is cool, but I do know that there's been an influx of cat shirts recently and you guys should be wearing them. I promise you'll look good—it's impossible to not look delightful in a cat shirt. Plus, I'm going to let you in on a little secret: ladies love cat shirts. If you wear a cat shirt to a bar and act like a normal human, we'll probably love you. Okay? So go get those cat shirts!—Katie
Black Metal Kitty Tee
Cats and black metal will make you look cool and sensitive, which is the perfect combination of things. But you'll have to resist the urge to fist-pump with other bros over how amazing this shirt is.
Riot Society Meow You Doin Tee
That line coming from a cat on a T-shirt? CUTE! That line coming from the dude wearing the T-shirt? NOT CUTE. Let the cat do the talking.
It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia Kitten Mittons Tee
A Kitten Mittons T-shirt will most certainly make you look awesome, but unlike Kitten Mittons, this shirt is not one size fits all.
'Sup Cat Tee
Why wouldn't you want to wear a shirt with a cute cat in glasses and a cap? WHY?
Toddland Embroidered Chambray Shirt
This shirt is on sale right now, and I hope to see it sell out as soon as this post goes live. It is a chambray shirt embroidered with kittens shooting lasers out of their eyes!!! The only thing cooler would be, oh yeah.. NOTHING.
Get Your Shit Together
It's time for you to get your shit together this year, litter-ally.
Five Resolutions You Can Keep
New Year's Eve resolutions are hard. Does anyone manage to keep them anymore? I don't think I've even bothered making a N.Y.E. resolution since like, 2003 because it's such a hopeless cause. This year, I've figured out an easy way to stick to some common resolutions, and it happens to involve pizza and beer. You're welcome.—Katie
Collapsible Pizza-To-Go Box
1. Bring lunch to work.
No one said it had to be healthy.
A Cat's Life By Gemma Correll
2. Read more.
Reading cartoons about cats is just as prestigious as reading War & Peace, I promise. If you're looking for a way to be terrible all year long, the book A Year Of Living Sinfully would also be a fantastic way to start off the new year.
Moxi Lolly Roller Skates
3. Be more active.
Why run on a stupid old treadmill when you can rollerskate?
Brooklyn Brew Shop Beer Making Kit
4. Learn something new.
Most people want to learn a new language or something, but let's not kid ourselves with that. Learning to brew your own beer means you're one step closer to your REAL N.Y.E. resolution of never getting off the couch again. (If you're underage, mix together different sodas and imagine.)
Kozyndan For Society6 We Came Together Art Print
5. Become more cultured.
Cat art is art, too, people.
The UO Employee Nice List: Daisy
Find out what our Urban Outfitters employees are asking for this holiday season!
I’m Daisy and I’m the Canine Brand Ambassador at Urban Outfitters.
What's your favorite food to eat around the holidays?
I love empanadas all year round but around the holidays I like to put turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce and gravy in them. Delicious!
You may be on our Nice List but what's the naughtiest thing you've done in 2012?
I got into a pretty nasty fight with a parrot named Hunter. He got in my face one day when I was over visiting a friend and started squawking up a storm—I totally lost control. Luckily there were only a few ruffled feathers, but after that Hunter didn’t come back down on the ground anymore when I was over.
What's your New Year's Resolution and do you think you'll stick to it?
I want to be more social in 2013. I moved here from Los Angeles a year ago and haven’t met a new PBFF (Pooch Best Friend Forever) and it’s been a major drawback. Especially after a long day at the office when all I want is to enjoy a tall drink and a nice steak. I don’t think I’ll have a problem sticking to this as, being a Sagittarius, when I set my mind to something, I get it!
Choose: When it comes to dating… a bite-sized cutie like yourself OR a big dog who can carry you around when your feet hurt?
I find myself drawn to the big, strong and silent types. I’m looking for a boy who can listen! Astrologically my ideal pup would be an Aquarius or fellow Sag, but I try to keep an open mind (just no Virgos—woof).
The UO Nice List: Dust La Rock
Joshua Prince aka Dust La Rock. I'm a designer/artist, art director for A-Trak, co-founder of Fool’s Gold Records. I'm currently residing in the LBC and I am a purveyor of all that is strange and exotic.
What do you love/loathe most about the holidays?
I don’t have much family so the holiday have always been a bit empty in that regard, but have always found some friends to spend it with. I do enjoy Christmas, strangely enough.
What’s your gift-giving style? Personalized presents, or a Starbucks card for everyone?
Personalized. The weirder the better and not always on time. Sometimes it just takes a couple extra weeks or months to find the right item for that special someone.
What’s the best gift you’ve ever received?
My Fool’s Gold partners bought me a gold colored French Bulldog for my birthday a couple years ago. I named her Deborah Hairy.
What’s the worst gift you’ve ever received?
Well, the best gifts are the ones I buy myself. I’m into so many different things and a collector at that, so usually it’s a smile and a thank-you to everyone, but those closest to me actually know what I like.
If you could ask for anything this year (and money is no object) what would you ask for?
1964 Lincoln Continental with suicide doors, black exterior with the hardtop, and black leather interior. I tried convincing A-Trak to buy this in exchange for album artwork a couple years ago but no dice. So it goes...
What is your favorite holiday tradition that you share with friends or family?
Lighting fireworks, shooting guns and overall intoxicated merrymaking.
What’s your favorite holiday snack or food?
Ham with a brown sugar glaze and pineapple slices.
Without looking it up, what are the ingredients in eggnog?
Cats I Know 2013 Wall Calendar
I love cats—a lot. Like in the creepy and obsessive eHarmony kind of way. Illustrator Kaori Mitsushima has created a Cats I Know wall calendar for 2013, based off her blog which is filled with, well, CATS. Thanks to her, every day of every month can now be filled with them too. Woooo! Cat party! -Ally
Rabbit Print Cardboard Case
If someone doesn't get me this Rabbit Print Cardboard Case from Oysho I'm going to throw a kindergarten-style temper tantrum (yes, I'll lay face down on the ground and kick and pound my fists at age 23). I'm allergic to rabbits and this is the closet thing I'll ever be able to get to owning one. Plus, there's freakin' polka dots inside. I mean, COME ON! -Ally
Deter Hello Kitty Shirt
Go ahead, try and tell me that any guy wearing this printed Hello Kitty Shirt designed by David Scalese of Deter wouldn't be totally drool-worthy. I can't even imagine all of the awws you'd get in this. -Ally
Ca$h Cats
TGIF! How happy was I to come across this amazing tumblr. My favorite is the Canadian cat (obviously) with her bedroom eyes and $100 pillow! -Jennilee
Ryan McGinley at Team Gallery
Ryan McGinley has done it again! Today, Wednesday, May 2, get ready 'cause the streets of SoHo are gonna get shut down for this blockbuster show. Simultaneously, Team Gallery will be presenting two new bodies of work by McGinley. Animals is a series of photographs about wild creatures and their interactions with human bodies (located at 83 Grand St.) and Grids, a body of work that studies the faces of fans at concerts (at 47 Wooster St.). -Maggie Lee
