This must be the year of great collaborations. I have been spending all morning finalizing some details for the Steelers Watching/Chevy Test Drive Party on Sunday – I will post all the details as soon as I get everything finalized.

But I am also happy to share this event on Monday – which is another great collaboration – 3 local vintage businesses, Daffodil Vintage, Red Pop Shop, Crazy Hot Clothes are teaming up to throw a fashion show. Each of these businesses operates online from their homes here in Pittsburgh so this is a rare chance to check out their goods in person. All of this is also for a great cause – the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank.

So come on down to the Union Project on Monday evening – check out some amazing recycled fashion and gifts, support local businesses. There will be cookies and you can pretend to laugh at my jokes too – I am honored to be the master of ceremonies for this event (I will be spending the weekend brushing up my fashion vocabulary). The music will be excellent as DJ Gordy will be making the music selections for the evening.
