Just in time for Valentine’s Day, here comes the sexiest, most body positive fashion event of the year, Unmentionable! Billed as a “lingerie exposition and marketplace,” this wildly popular show features original designs from great local fashion houses including Lille Boutique, Chubby Cartwheels, Thunderpants, and more. Unmentionable also has gorgeous runway models of all shapes and sizes (just like you!), and a marketplace featuring plenty of vendors (including Altar, One Imaginary Girl, and others) if you’re looking for the perfect V-day gift—such as jewelry, chocolates, fragrances… all sorts of wonderful, lovesick prezzies that will make your sweetie scream “ooh-la-la!”

Even better, it’s gonna be emceed by the always hilarious and charming Marissa Sullivan (Portland’s Pretty) with hot tunes spun by the always sonically reliable DJ Gregarious.

If there’s a more fun and exciting fashion show in town, I’d certainly like to hear about it! So don’t miss the Unmentionable: A Lingerie Exposition and Marketplace, this Thursday, February 6, 8 pm, Jupiter Next, 900 E Burnside, $25-50; Marketplace, 6-10 pm, free and open to the public. GET YOUR TICKETS HERE!

Bang bang, choo-choo train, let me see you shake that thang. Wm. Steven Humphrey is the editor-in-chief of the Portland Mercury and has held the job since 2000. (So don’t get any funny ideas.)
