Painfully Hip got a good plug in the awesome weekly paper, the Sacramento News & Review. This photo is a 2 page spread in their 2008 Summer Guide (Collector’s Edition, no less).

…Amber Mortensen, co-creator of the fashion blog Painfully Hip, credits the Internet with making fashion more accessible to the public. “It’s so nice that trendsetting powers are now being taken away from corporations and glossy magazines and are back in the hands of normal people,” she remarked. “Especially people who have the creativity but not the money to spend.”
Mortensen suggests organizing a clothing swap as a means of picking up some new threads for free. You get to unload your unwanted clothing, while rummaging through someone else’s giveaways—treasures can be found!
Come July 19, Mortensen will team up with the owners of Bows & Arrows to throw the Major Hip Replacement Clothing Swap. Bring your cast-off clothing and a laundry basket with your name on it, and be prepared to rummage in search of buried treasures.

Kinda funny that this edition of the paper just so happens to be glossy…
So yes, it’s official! Even though it went to print with the wrong date (take note: it’s Saturday July 19th, not June 19th), the Sacramento edition of the Major Hip Replacement Clothing Swap is a go! Keep reading for details as they solidify!
Never before have I been quoted so prominently in print and never before has my ass looked so detachable.
Thanks, SN&R!
