The Jewel of Williamsburg, Brooklyn

Vans, by their very nature are creepy, but it wasn't always like that. Once upon a time, the sight of a van inspired feelings of community, family and leisure. A man with a van had it going on. Today, a van is emblematic of the very opposite. They stand for mystery, isolationism. Vagrancy. People with vans hatch nefarious plots. People with vans are private. And so we keep our distance from vans. 

Yeah. Until Playgirl.com showed up and was like, "Where's the party? Hey, in case you wanted to know, my favorite color is pink and these dudes here are all my best friends."

And somehow it works.
