SAT: For the Speakeasy Saturday Night, while vintage aloha wear is always a boon, 30's formal dress is specifically smiled apon. There will be prizes for the best dressed that night so dress to impress! Thanks to MunkTiki, Smuggler's Cove, Rum Demon, Tiki Hana, Ocea Otica, and Mount Gay Rum for their generous donations.

P phynix Member Sandy Eggo/currently Portland OR Joined: Nov 12, 2004 Posts: 35	P phynix Posted posted on Wed, Aug 5, 2009 10:28 AM Extra table space for 2 at Shawn's and my table! As for vintage attire - keep in mind the prohibition was about 1920 to 1933 so think Art Deco and Flappers! :) I will be trying to put together some Flapper/Deco inspired hair clips for this event and vending my crazy tiki flower clips for anyone interested. See you Saturday!

Keep in mind that you'll look like a sack a potatoes, because everyone does in those dresses. Those flowers look great!
P phynix Member Sandy Eggo/currently Portland OR Joined: Nov 12, 2004 Posts: 35	P phynix Posted posted on Wed, Aug 5, 2009 3:17 PM I think Lippman Co at 50 SE Yamhill and Hollywood Vintage at 2800 NE Sandy both have flapper and gangster costumes. "Sack o potatoes" heehee and this is different from a muumuu how?? :) Muumuu with fringe!!! Aw man! Why didn't I think about that a week ago!
P palapala Member Hale'a'Kenmore, Wash Joined: Nov 15, 2006 Posts: 240	P palapala Posted posted on Thu, Aug 6, 2009 3:46 PM we're in portland a day early for the tikiKon, and we have all of tomorrow till about 4 to knock around. we're from washington state, so the liquor nazis have prevented us from getting the best exotic ingredients for our bar. Any suggestions of good liquor stores to go to? ( we're staying in Lake oswego, but we'll drive a bit ). Also, any good vintage stores that might have guys and gals hawaiiana style clothing, shoes, and accessories? we're both on the large side and its especially hard for Lopaka to find any jackets or other things. Appreciate any suggestions you might have and see you tomorrow! Mahaloz!

P palapala Member Hale'a'Kenmore, Wash Joined: Nov 15, 2006 Posts: 240	P palapala Posted posted on Fri, Aug 7, 2009 9:29 AM Thanks for all your suggestions as to where to go in Portland. we'll be doing the tour later today. A question to all the wahines out there: in my travels through Duvall washington, looking for clothes for the event, I found this little eye popper of a dress. Its too small for me, but I have to believe someone out there would like to have it. Id be happy to trade it for a drink - it wasn't very expensive. I don't know the actual size, but I suspect its somewhere between an 8 and a 10. Great like-new condition, and it looks like something "laugh-in era, goldie hawn would wear to a luau". Made by tahiti imports, international market place, waikiki. Pioneer Inn, lahaina maui. Let me know if you want it or look at it, and I'll bring it.

P palapala Member Hale'a'Kenmore, Wash Joined: Nov 15, 2006 Posts: 240	P palapala Posted posted on Fri, Aug 7, 2009 4:59 PM Well, Pearl Specialty is quite possibly the best liquor store in the northwest. Not having been to all of them , however, I can't be 100% sure, but tis sure better than anything near us in Kenmore.

I enjoyed the company of everyone there, and they made it easy for me to drop my "Drama Queen" colored glasses and have a really great time... I'm happily exausted,a bit hung over, and still smiling! Heartfelt Mahaloz to you all!
