Young drifters call Haight Street home.
Paradise Down and Out
Spaz Absurdity Mengele sits in front of the Red Vic Movie House on Haight Street with her family. These people aren’t her siblings or parents; the pale-skinned 18-year-old left home two years ago. This family consists of other street kids who buckled under pressure from abusive fathers, drug-addicted mothers and the general bullshit that comes with life.

But thanks to a plethora of up-and-coming designers, that is about to change.

To Breed or Not to Breed
Newsflash: it's not that easy, and the fact that people are realizing this is starting to show. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 44 percent of American women of childbearing age were childless in 2002. More telling, 18 percent of women ages 40 to 44 were still childless, up from 10 percent in 1976. Why aren't people breeding like they used to?
