Model Behavior
April 25, 2008It'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.
Maybe it's one too many America's Next Top Model marathons, (Don't judge - Tyra is fierce and addictive. Not my fault.), but I love a good walkoff. Tonight you can your fix live at Hello Stiletto Shoe Club's happy hour. Martinis, mingling and Manolos? What's better? So grab those peep toes you've been dying to dig out of the closet all winter and step out. The fun starts at 7 p.m. at Conundrum Wine Bistro, 117 US Route 1, Freeport.
For details, and to attend: Sign up for the Shoe Club (it's free!), and then rsvp to Liz Wyman, Queen of Shoes.
