PART 1 in a 12 part series of blogs where we look at the Christmas Wishlists of The Mission/Feathers & Fluoro team.
Each list features three categories: Stocking Filler (cheap and cheerful), Sublime (a great piece of gear in the mid to high price range) and Ridiculous (the sky’s the limit for you, oh Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman).
First up – Brendan Body, aka Bod, aka Boderick, aka the human giraffe, aka Verbal Diarrhea personified, aka HE WHO HAS VELOCIRAPTOR FEET, aka The Mission’s art director.
