This month--and just in time for Pride--we're really fortunate to have some incredible hand-knit conceptual performance art costumes in the house by PNCA pre-thesis student Travis Beardsley, including the ledgendary No Homo Dress. These pieces are so impressive we felt they deserved their own mini-lookbook, styled and modeled by Loren Hughes and Hidalit Aranda. If you like what you see, please visit us or call (503) 477-5124 between 12-6 PST any day or email us for pricing. Because Travis is a starving artist AND a starving student (who has to throw a chunk of change at his forthcoming thesis), and because we know many of you would like to afford his goods but might not be able to, we give you the option of supporting small business and buying with us, or to contact Travis directly to make payment arrangements sans our 40% comission.

Are you a photographer, stylist or model who would like to participate in a lookbook shoot? If so, contact us. We are always looking for fresh new faces and fresh new eyes for our monthly in-house lookbooks, and we are even more eagerly looking to loan our clothes out to you so you can independently come up with your own concept and execute it for your portfolio developement. We don't require any money (only full payment if you lose or damage something), just your guarantee to get us the clothes back the day after the shoot and an edit of your images withing two weeks of your shoot, and lastly, your promise to graciously thank us all over the place with wardwobe credits! If this sounds like something you'd be interested in we will give you full access to our instore collection (unless our consigners disapprove of your clothing picks) and whats in our basement storage. It can sometimes take a while to schedule out these things, so please contact us ASAP to get the process going!

If you can guess who this member of our community is, we'll give you $10-off your next purchase of a non-consignment item!

If you think you know who this person is, just leave a comment here. If you're correct, we'll send you a confirmation comment!

This is only one half of a profile—my side of the story, and nothing more. Jessica and I had great aspirations for her profile, including videochat stills and extensive questioning, but things don’t always work out. That’s OK. Fitting even. Jessica didn’t want a standard art card, so why should she want a standard profile? She’s got so much going on that the answers to her questions might change every few days, anyway...
