dress yourself in the issues that matter

Have you ever wanted to help a gigantic 80 year old tortoise be a little less lonely? Today’s your chance. Buffalo Exchange, the large purveyor of new and used clothing, is holding a $1 sale on all their sale wares and is donating proceeds to help bring Lonesome George some tortoise friends to his home on the Galapagos Islands. Lonesome George is the last Pinta tortoise in the entire world (I feel like America should be supplying the soundtrack to my day right now):

Awwww. Look at him! He looks just like Moorla on the Neverending Story! Except Moorla was sort of a dick and I’m pretty sure Lonesome George is the reincarnation of Ghandi.
Hang in there George, we’ll save you! Buffalo Exchange Locations here.

Another way to save the world by being hot is by buying an art screenprinted Quiet Hero Tee. They’re so effing hip and soft and flattering. “Art to Ride a Tiger in,” to be exact (best slogan ever). Operation Quiet Hero donates to such non-profits as the Central Asia Institute and Heifer.
I wore my deep-V spacehawk tee out this week and I managed to get myself a few looks…

…Could be because this tee felt simultaneously comfortable and sexy, eye-catching and easy to wear.

Or it could be that after having drunk several Heinekens whilst watching 3 hours of hockey play-offs (GO SHARKS!) and then switching to $2 Pabsts afterwards at my local watering hole of choice (I realize that according to David Lynch that this makes me a beer hypocrite), I was feeling like a total Bar Star and dancing my face off.

I’m pretty sure I had a blast.

keep it green, Local Scene

Hey Sacramentans,
Make sure you get outside (say what y’all want about Sacramento, but nothin’ beats our spring weather) tomorrow night for the Green Second Saturday Art Walk in stunning midtown (I’m not sure what they mean by “green,” I have a sneaking suspicion its just an excuse to party on Earth Day, what with the obviously unrecyclable glossy postcards that seem to be advertising it everywhere).

Considering all the pent-up winter blues everyone seems to be just starting to shake, I’m pretty sure its going to go completely unhinged! Besides an endless amount of parties being thrown, there’ll be “green-themed” local artist exhibits all over town and a “green” fashion show at Bows & Arrows including reinvented, screenprinted vintage couture by Trisha of Pretty Trashy, who sells her creations all over the planet and just launched her wicked online boutique!

If you find yourself there, scope me out walking in the show! I love to meet you guys…

UPDATE:
I don’t yet have a head to toe shot (GORGEOUS VINTAGE BOOTS), but here’s the one photo captured of me walking in the show (credit)


…AND my eyes are closed. Awesome.
