Catch the sun while you can this weekend, and take in these events while you're at it:
Amelia will celebrate its third anniversary with a party that will include the usual drinks, snacks, and... pom poms?!?! Yes, pom poms. Apparently they are a thing now and Mister Matthew, contemporary crafter, will host a casual drop-in lesson to teach you how to incorporate the pom pom into a current accessory.
Amelia, 2230 NE Alberta, Friday March 18, 3-7 pm
Seaworthy is opening up their workshop/showroom for a Samples & Seconds Sale that includes huge discounts on slightly imperfect pieces, samples of pieces that did not go into production, PR samples and one-of-a-kind styles, plus 50% off discontinued styles including best sellers from past seasons. And since this thing starts in the morning, there will be mimosas flowing.
Seaworthy, 3322 NE Wasco, Sunday March 20, 11 am-4 pm
Modified Style Portland will host a Clothing Swap that will benefit Dress for Success Oregon and Project Lemonade. The cost is $8 with a bag of clothing and $12 without, just make sure anything you bring is just slightly used and clean.
Lola’s Room, 1332 West Burnside, Sunday March 20, 3-7 pm, $8-$12
Doug Fir will host another Rock n’ Roll Flea Market. Details are slim about the vendors, but with DJs spinning tunes and the ready supply of booze, it should be a good time.
Doug Fir Lounge, 830 East Burnside, Sunday March 20, 5-9 pm, 21+
AND for those of you that give a shit, Project Runway is now accepting applications!!! If you love sleep deprivation and physically impossible to accomplish deadlines, all while being crammed in a tiny apartment far away from home with a bunch of strangers—this is the thing for you. Don't dilly dally though, the deadline is March 28th. Apply here.
