Milton Carter has it on People Magazine and their list of who passed away over the course of the past 12 months. He made a t-shirt, quite current actually seeing that Leslie Nielsen is on there. But can you name some famous people and icons who passed away this year? Nielsen, Louise Bourgeois, JD Salinger, that Golden Girls lady, Malcolm McLaren, Tony Curtis, Corey Haim, Jimmy Dean, Gary Coleman, and George Stenbrenner are top of our list.

Again, we are here, trying our best to curate your Holiday gift-giving plans. We have a new idea for you: Erik Foss naughty alphabet t-shirts. Foss brought his sexy alphabet pieces, titled WORD, to SCOPE with Anonymous Gallery this past Art Basel, with each letter being comprised of an artful arrangement of scantily clad ladies of the evening.

We had wanted to feature Michael Leon's "Dicks of the World" wall art piece here, but we figured that might be a bit jarring this early in the day. Bodega has teamed up with Barry McGee, Leon, Steve Harrington, Cody Hudson, and Hisham Bharoocha for a new series of large scale, eco-friendly, temporary indoor art.
