Enough of the coffee cups shaped like boobs, ceramic Tweety Bird banks, Simpsons velvet art and all the other stereotypical souveniers you find on Revolución. Better to blow your peso wad on something that actually reflects the cultural rebirth currently going down amid the gunfire and climbing body count south of San Ysidro. Exhibit A of said renaissance is the HAHA store (Calle Zitacuaro 47, Colonia Hipodromo, thehahastore.blogspot.com) a new gallery/boutique located near Tijuana's Caliente casino that specializes in apparel, accesories, toys and art, all made in Tj. Owners Shardey Colin and Lorena Cienfuegos keep the place stocked with plenty of reasons to empty your wallet. Not to be missed are Yasmin Arestegui's Tim Burton-esque Techinicollored monster dolls, Feminine & Masculine's unisex wood-heeled boots, Franklin Collao's deeper than deeper neon V's and anything slinky and strappy by Jorge Sanchez.
