While this blog will focus mainly on fashion, you have to love when fashion blurs into life.
Today was very successful. I went and picked up my wedding dress (which I'll talk about in another post) and then came home to do some "dinner" planning (I cook wednesday nights). I decided to make vegetarian thai curry...coconut milk is to DIE for...so I headed out to Columbia City Farmers Market for dinner supplies.
I decided to stop by a thrift store before the market. It is called Justice Works! and is actually a grassroots organization which is fighting for reform of the 3 strikes legislation. As many of you know, our current criminal justice system is extremely biased towards minorities and under-represented peoples. For a great book which covers some of these issues, read Andrea Smith's Conquest.
Anyway, Justice Works! is having a Grand Opening of their Thrift & Gift Store on August 23, 2008 from noon-5pm. 4206 Rainier Ave. S., 98118. Features: free refreshments, door prizes, live entertainment, and a display of prison art. I will be there to record for my blog, so stop by!
After that, I went up to columbia city and continued my sustainabilty quest. For those of you not lucky enough to grow up in the south end, let me say, there is no where else I'd rather be. South Seattle is probably the most culturally diverse part of town, and I'm proud to call it home. Here are some glorious pictures from today's farmers market. Support local growers! Shop organic, shop local, shopfrugality!
