- The most helpful cupcake you’ll ever eat.
Various businesses in the Pearl will be aiding the Red Cross relief efforts in Haiti tomorrow (Saturday the 16th) by donating part of their sales to the cause. Here’s a list of participating places:
Bishop’s Barbershop โ $5 from every hair color service, including red (Pearl location only); cash donations collected on-site (all 7 locations)
Bubble Boutique โ 5% of all sales (through Sunday, Jan. 17)
Cork Wine Shop โ 50% of sales on red Viola Sangiovese on Saturday and Sunday (NW Location only)
Cupcake Jones โ 100% of proceeds from the sale of red velvet cupcakes
BARISTA โ 100% of tips for the day + company match
Imelda’s โ 10% of all sales
Mabel & Zora โ 5% of all sales
Pure 4 โ 10% of all sales
Vault Martini Bar & Jinx Lounge โ 100% of proceeds from the sale of their red specialty cocktail “7.0”

Give your money directly to MercyCorp instead, people! Jesus…
But mel…what would the MercyCorp panhandlers do???
People are probably gonna shop either way. Might as well do both if you can?
So …. this Vault specialty red cocktail, the 7.0? Did it exist before this week, or is the name a play on this earthquake’s Richter scale? If it’s the latter — wow. Super tacky, even if some proceeds are going to the Red Cross.
