THE FIRST ANNUAL GOLDEN RULE COMMUNITY APPRECIATION DAY! 05/21/2011
0 Comments
 
Mark your calendars for May 28th and 29th when we're hosting our first annual community appreciation day! Rain or shine from noon to whenever the fun's over we'll be barbecuing yumminess, drinking adult beverages, selling our personal goods at yard sale prices, and informally sharing our appreciation to the past year's volunteers, interns, consignors, artists, and customers. If you fall into any of the above categories (or if you aspire to!) you're welcome to be a vendor or a visitor!
Picture
This off-site event will run concurrent with our 40%-off non-consignment sale in the space and will feature dirt cheap prices on all furniture from past Golden Rule iterations. By the end of the weekend we hope to have cleared the basement floor to make way for our forthcoming shiny new by-appointment-only fashion showroom, which you can get a sneak peak of if you stop by! For more information see the FaceBook event listing for our First Annual Golden Rule Community Appreciation Days.

GOLDEN RULE GALLERY COMMUNITY PROFILE NO. 6 = MAYA ROSE 05/05/2011
0 Comments
 
Picture
Now that she’s (hopefully) my regular neighborhood and park strolling partner, it’s tough for me to describe Maya Rose without any bias. Screw being impartial, though. Even if I hadn’t shared some lovely conversation with Maya in Laurelhurst park recently (after we drove around trying to find the place for about 20 minutes, and after nearly being accosted by some dude in full-on road rage), I would say this: Maya Rose in one of the most talented ladies I have yet to meet anywhere.

She is level-headed yet hilarious, meek at times yet stubbornly independent, and I’ve heard that she is quite the cook. Have you downed any of the edibles at the First Friday openings at Golden Rule? Maya may have had something to do with it. Ever fawned over the timeless, solidly constructed garments under the label Samuels? Those textiles! Yep. That's Maya, too. She also has a mentally unstable (or just spunky?) feline friend, an enviable work-space, a gift for finding strange and imaginative artifacts and trinkets, tons of insight on nutrition, and better childhood tales than Huck Finn.

Maya and I happened to schedule our interview during a hectic week for both of us. As per her suggestion, we aimed for the aesthetic of a “spooky night shoot,” but ended up catching some golden shades of dusk thanks to the late-setting sun. Maya prefers not to be in front of the camera, but was gracious enough to help me get a few shots of her in her space. Special shout out to Toast the cat, who raced up and down the hallway during the bulk of our interview!

Today we got a special request for two hard to find fashion pieces: (1) a Navajo sweater with leather tassels on the sleeves, and (2) any vintage Versace sweaters from the Gianni series. We're looking for these pieces in man sizes, ideally medium or large, so if you come across anything like this on your online or real life shopping adventures please let us know ASAP!
Picture
If you're the lucky person who comes across a Navajo sweater with leather tassels or a vintage Versace Gianni series sweater, we'll hook you up with $20-off towards any non-consignment purchase AND you'll get the standard 60% on the sale of said goods. Moral of the story, we have a highly motivated shopper who wants this stuff by June, so start shopping! Xoxo, W

GOLDEN RULE GALLERY COMMUNITY PROFILE NO. 5 (SORT OF...) = JESSICA REAVES 04/22/2011
0 Comments
 
Picture
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...

THIS JUST IN = SHOES + BELTS + MORE FROM NEW CONSIGNOR GARY WISEMAN 04/18/2011
0 Comments
 
While we certainly hope we'll stay in business long enough to feature Gary Wiseman as our August artist, in the mean time we're really excited to have his excellent taste up in the space as a consignor. Today we just got a hot injection of brand-new (seriously, never worn) vintage shoes in real people sizes, tons of great belts (we heard you asking), and covetable clothing:
Picture
Rad summer shoes, all vintage all never worn, sizes 7.5-9, $18-$34
Picture
Sophie Hong distressed silk blouse w/black piping, $40 (retails new for $900-$1100!)
Picture
Fully reversible silk Ikat technicolor dream coat, $34
Picture
Turquoise and blue summer baseball quarter-sleeve, $8
Picture
Hooded yellow windbreaker w/AMAZING zipper pulls, $20
Picture
Late-90's early-2000's DC Skate shirt, $8
Picture
Oversized white thermal-ish crop-top, $8
Picture
Vintage Peace Shirt (NOT from Urban Outfitters), $26
Picture
Brick and Braid Sweater, $20
Picture
Belts galore, $5 a pop
As a result of our consignor demographics (90-percent female), Golden Rule has unintentionally been a bit of a girls club. This is a damned shame, because of our customer demographics (more like 60/40 in slight favor of the ladies). Men's clothes usually don't last more than a day. If you're a guy who's interested in consigning men's clothes PLEASE contact Jillian Barkley!
