After a few month's break, everyone's favorite Home Shopping Darling, Amanda Luna, is back at it with her charming series!

Do you have a fun video series you'd like to share with our community? Maybe a how-to video about crafty stuff, wellness practices, ways of thinking and living better? You playing your music or making your art? We'd love to share it! Email us!

For the second post in our new Golden Rule Guest Stars portrait series, we are pleased to put the spotlight on Blake Thompson and Palma Corral as The Illusionists. Palma and Blake curate Praxis, a monthly experiment in collaborative art and philosophy at Place PDX, one of the mall galleries Palma and Gabe Flores curate. In addition to greatly appreciating Palma's grounding support during my installation of I Knew You Part 1 (Dear James) and my recent I Know You Are But What Am I audience participatory sand painting performances, she has been instrumental in keeping Golden Rule alive by always prioritizing purchases with us when on the rare occasion that cash flow allows. For this we are eternally grateful. Blake and Palma are hosting a Praxis event on Wednesday, June 22nd at 6:30 p.m. featuring Victor Maldonado and Alex Rauch.

The goal of our new Guest Stars Series is to highlight the personalities and projects of members of the Golden Rule community who are perhaps a bit peripheral to our business operations, maybe not so much at the foreground, not so much in the space or on the blog on a regular basis, but who are still very much a part of our backbone. Likewise, we are casting these good sirs and madames as members of our own little carnivale troupe, putting them in our more costume-y/rare/fragile/too strange for the racks clothes that, just like the guest stars themselves, might be lurking around in the background, maybe not getting the airtime in the space or on the blog that some of the more commercially appealing clothes get. If you're a behind-the-scenes Golden Rule supporter (customers count, too) please email us if you'd like to be a part of our Guest Stars series!

Tons of love to Annie Shepard--one of our first ever customers and first ever volunteers--for keeping in touch from NY, NY, and for sharing some of our April 2011 Lookbook images on her blog project, Neon Mamacita. Check out Annie's great style here:

If you've got a blog, please share the wonder and strangeness that is Golden Rule with your readers (and let us know when you have so we can send you some behind the scenes love)! We need all the exposure we can get to keep on keeping on. Xo!

Rebecca Peel, our lovely model with downturned lips and downturned eyes, has a show up now at Worksound that will be pretty eerie for anyone who's been paying attention to our March and April lookbooks. She's filled an entire room with laptop tracings of her facebook photos, many of which were taken by yours truly. It is SO EFFING EERIE to see one's photos drawn!

While you're at Worksound, make sure to check out the large-scale works by Nim Wunnan, our solo artist for March 2011.

This month at Golden Rule we're pleased to collaborate with Project Grow to launch the Snow Cone Series fashion line by Tess Bidelspach, one of Project Grow's many prolific artists. Meet Tess in the space Tuesdays in June from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., or at our opening reception Friday, June 3rd from 7-10 p.m., when Tess' wearable art will be featured on live models.

All photos by Kara Jean Caldwell. All pieces in this collection will be available for viewing or for purchase during the month of June at Golden Rule Gallery. We are open seven days a week from 12-6 p.m., as well as by appointment. We accept all forms of payment by phone (503-477-5124) as well as by email, or PayPal, and are happy to ship nationally and internationally.

We are 100% sure Kara Jean Caldwell from our March 2011 Lookbook and this month's Christian/Carnivale Lookbook is going to be an accidental star. After seeing her in the new PGE commercial--which, by the way, her casting story is totally hilarious, completely unintentional, totally serindepitous--we're certain that if she doesn't become a professional model real soon, she's going to become a famous actress just for being her own darling self. And she has the best mental health ever!

Isn't she just the darling-est? We call her the human noodle. And as a model she has such a diversity of expression, it's amazing. Everything Kara is wearing above and all the other non-consignment clothing in our May 2011 Lookbook is currently 40% off in our space for one last day, Sunday, May 29th. Stop by and visit us in the flesh at 811 E. Burnside, Suite 122 (around the back of the building) to make Kara's attire yours at dirt cheap prices as we clear the way for our June collection.

Lovely lady Marika (pronounced "Mar-ee-ka" not "Mar-eye-ka") is not only the beauty behind her Etsy shop, and the brains behind social marketing for Eden (the new Pearl District spin-off of Missisippi's Flutter), she's also our Friday volunteer, AND is working on finishing up the 6-months over-due update to our Who We Are page. How does she do it so well and look so good? And really, these images are just the outtakes--the not so good ones--from our May 2011 Christian/Carnivale Lookbook.
