He's Only Been Here Five Minutes

Skratch was here.

But Skratch has already left his mark in Copenhagen. Something tells me that Saint 21 won't look quite the same after his time here. Maybe he'll leave his mark on some other landmarks too?

Skratch Is Here!

Safety belts with teddybears are cool.

Yes folks, the pinstriper has landed! Rob picked him up in Copenhagen about an hour ago.

And the Winner Is...

Sandy De Luxe, pimped like a winner, Saint 21 style.

The winner in the Saint 21 blog contest is Sandy De Luxe!
We looked at several things when we picked the winner, and it was a difficult decision to make. In the end, Sandy De Luxe had both a post that was well-written and the most visitors who continued on to hepcat.se

Sandy, your custom gift is waiting for you at the HepCat Store. We'd love to meet you in person and present it to you on PACE day!

You can find Sandy's blog here. If you wanna read the winning entry, click here.

But all our contestants did well, so both Devil Doll and Sandrina have consolation prices waiting for them. Drop by the store or contact us and we'll send them to you.

That's right folks, we're bringing him back to Sweden and Saint 21. Pinstriper Skratch will be working at our PACE day on the 30th of May.

But that's not all. He'll be in Europe for a few weeks and will accompany us to Jokers.
More details on when he will be at Saint 21 and how you can book an appointment will follow soon.

Pace Day at The HepCat Store

The PACE crew will hang out at HepCat Store all day, and talk about denim, Hot Rods and other essentials. Maybe they'll challenge the local kids on the skateboard ramp?
