French for 'look there!'
It's Friday afternoon and I can't figure out how to get a proper accent mark going on Moveable Type, so here is some quick, poorly punctuated info for a fashion-filled weekend:
Voilą (I cheated and pasted this ą, my French typing skills are amazing) is billed as a "runway fashion charity event," and its host, MV Modeling Agency is new to Portland. Look for their models to be catwalking in designs from locals such as Jill McGowan and Fladel Couture. Live entertainment and more is also promised, including glamour. Love glamour. Plus, proceeds go to the Wayside Soup Kitchen. Charitable glamour. Even better.
Doors open at 5 p.m., and oh yes, location - it's all going down the runway at the Holiday Inn by the Bay (88 Spring Street, Portland). Tickets, available online or at the door, are $30. (If you buy online you need to pay $1 PayPal fee.)
Oh, and more sales: Corduroy (Surf Boutique, 59 Market Street, Portland) is having a so-long winter sidewalk sale (up to 40 percent of selected merch including hats, shoes and clothes), and then, Sunday ... BIKE SWAP! I'm resting up and sharpening my elbows, this girl cannot embrace spring without a new Huffy.

Hi there, Saw that you mentioned Voila. I attended the event and wow, like totally right out of fashion week in New York or Paris. The event was well executed considering it was MV Modeling Agencies first show. I caught a re-cap of the event on news 8, but was suprised that such an amazing event didnt recieve more coverage. I also attended the Space Gallery show recently and this show blew that one straight out of the water.This show was much more professional, bigger, and more bad ass all around. Did you attend? Hear any other info, will there be other shows by MV Modeling Agency to follow?
