Minors Miss Out on Seattle Fashion Week

By Nicole Hopkins

e1_10.jpg

First it was Zebra Club last November, then it was Fashion First in August, and now it's Seattle Fashion Week. All the cool fashion shows, or at least the publicized ones, are 21+. How unfair to those of us who are interested, but under 21. How are the little fashionistas supposed to get their fashion show fix? Read about it? Browse the Web? Listen to others rave about what they saw?

Guess I won't get to see the new limited edition collection Penelope and Monica Cruz for MNG by Mango (Mango shown above), or Kenneth Cole N.Y., Ed Hardy (shown below), or Atsui Tokyo.

Thanks a ton, Seattle Fashion Week. Why must you hate?

Looks like I'll have to dig deeper to find an awesome show that i can attend!

Hey, who say the finale at the Skychurch is 21+ only? It\'s actually an all age event. So why don\'t you get a ticket or 2 or 3 and come to see the limited collection of Penelope and Monica Cruz for MNG by Mango :)

Nicole says:

Well, when you go to buy tickets at Brown Paper Tickets, it says 21+ only. So someone is lying to me...

Hi Nicole! Just thought I\'d give you a quick heads up that Seattle\'s Green Fashion Week, featuring original designs from Heatherette, Diane Von Furstenburg, Anna Cohen and over 20 more of the worlds best designers is open to the under 21 set! Of course you won\'t be able to take advantage of the open bar at each event, but you will be able to share in this week of really exciting activities including a Wrap Party sponsored by Seattle Metropolitan Magazine following the runway show. Feel free to send me an email directly for complimentary VIP tix or visit our website at www.fw07.com. Fashion Week is coming up October 2nd - October 6th looking forward to meeting you!

Gun-Free Grandes

Brady campaign wants starbucks to stop allowing guns in stores.

  • Culinary Three-Way, Old Seattle Style

    ​
    The list was growing long--Laura and I huddled up on the couch, tapping away at laptops, trying to find the shape and texture of an entire city's restaurant scene while still living out of luggage and boxes that were fast becoming furniture.

    "This looks good," she'd say, tilting her machine in my direction to show me some architectural plate stacked with butter lettuce and prawns, a white bowl of yellow curry, plate of beef shellacked in hoisin varnish and speckled with sesame seeds. I'd dutifully scribble down names and vague addresses on the legal pad I was filling, try to connect one place to another nearby, two places to four more by cuisine, by style, by chef, link those six into a sketch of a neighborhood.

    Choosing where to eat is never an easy thing. There are so many variables, so many possibilities. And doing it blind--in a new town, a new scene, with nothing to go on but instinct and appetite--is like playing culinary Russian roulette with all the chambers loaded but one. Luck is rare. Disaster and a mess on the carpet a nearly sure thing.

    Option paralysis. That's where we eventually found ourselves. Too many restaurants, not enough time, not enough resources, not enough data.

    "So what are we going to do, Jay? We need to eat somewhere..."

    As promised, after last week's introduction, this week I'm doing an actual review. And not just one actual review, but three--a triptych of old Seattle classics. And as also kinda half-promised, the lineup comes straight from the blog comments posted to my original "where in the hell should I eat first" essay. I took the advice of Tournant and went for the trifecta: Ivar's, Dick's and Pagliacci.

  • Man Found Shot to Death on First HIll in Seattle's Third Homicide of 2010

    Posted February, 9 at 1:12 pm by Vernal Coleman, The Daily Weekly

    View Larger Map

    Late Monday night, a security guard working on First Hill called 911 to report that he'd just heard what sounded like three gunshots. Police searched the area near James St. and Terry Ave., eventually finding a man in his late 50s shot to death behind the wheel of his still running pickup truck.

    A search of the area near the 76 gas station where the victim was found turned up no suspects, say police. KOMO News reports that surveillance cameras at the gas station didn't capture any activity related to the shooting.

    Police now say that the killing is being investigated as a murder, the third in Seattle proper so far this year.

  • Does Microsoft Support the Troops or Not?

    The ladies of Grand Theft Auto can help provide invaluable military training.
    ​
    In a time of war, with our soldiers spread thin on two fronts, is there some reason they shouldn't be able to spend their precious R&R back on base killing zombies, bitch-slapping hos, and battling flying dragons in enchanted kingdoms? Well, according to a report on Wired, Microsoft refused to sell its popular Xbox 360 console to the U.S. Army for training purposes. Writer Michael Peck says an Army technology officer cited MSFT's reasons, including that a major military purchase could create a shortage of Xbox 360 units on the consumer market. Is this a case of profits over patriotism? We're not so sure about Wired's analysis: Usually a private contractor can make a mint by selling its wares to the federal government, especially if it has a monopoly on the product.

    In the same Wired report, Microsoft denies the military's claim, but it's still unclear if the company would actually permit large-scale sales of the Xbox 360 console to run battle simulations for young soldiers who were practically weaned on video games. If our brave military men and women are to defeat the Taliban and Al Qaeda, how can we deprive them of weapons like Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Gears of War 2, Mass Effect, and Grand Theft Auto? If they can't enjoy the same gaming freedom we enjoy back home, that would mean the terrorists have won.

  • "Praise Jesus" = Preachy, "Eat Local" = Responsible

    Cheeseburgers on his mind. Moby appears at Town Hall on March 26.
    ​
    A couple of years ago I was at the Gorge with a first-timer and recent Northwest transplant. Sitting on the grass--hundreds of miles and a massive carbon footprint away the city--he told me something along the lines of, "You know, the further and further we get from Seattle, the less preachy people are. Then there's that guy with an 'Eat Local' T-shirt on."

    This is my favorite contradiction. Maybe you'd say hypocrisy. People--especially in this town--love to whine about other people forcing their belief system on them. They hate any whisper of religious judgment in the form of a personal boundary or belief that they feel encroaches on their space. But this allergy to hearing someone tell you that something you're doing is wrong, is mostly contained to religion in town, and has certainly never been a problem in politics or, most of all, food.

    Over on Voracious, Jason Sheehan tells us about Moby's upcoming to visit to Town Hall to pitch the new book he edited, Gristle: From Factory Farms to Food Safety. Do I think Moby's being preachy? Not necessarily. I haven't read his book. But I don't think he would be encouraged if Jason and I discussed the finer points of his tome over a Royal Red Robin Burger and a basket of fries. And if he were touring in support of a book of Christian-based essays, you can bet your butter lettuce that the "shut up and quit preaching" posts, columns, and articles would be out in full force.

  • Will Blog for Food: A Super Bowl Party Gone to Hell

    Posted February, 9 at 10:14 am by Julien Perry, Voracious
    In this new weekly Voracious column, yours truly has undertaken the incredibly difficult task of reporting on what the uber-foodies of our city serve to their guest when they throw parties. All of these shindigs will have two things in common: they'll have good food and they'll be hosted by those you have come to know in the local food scene, whether they be bloggers, chefs or restaurateurs.

    The only thing I knew heading into this year's Super Bowl was that Kim Kardashian's boyfriend played for the Saints and Kendra Wilkinson's husband played for the Colts. My name is Julien Perry and I let my favorite E! reality shows shape my sports knowledge.

    It didn't matter. Sunday turned out to be the best Super Bowl for me yet. That's because I had the pleasure of attending a Super Bowl party at Fresh Bistro where Dante Rivera of Dante's Inferno Dogs was camped outside grilling up a mix of pork sausage links and all-beef franks.

    Winos, rejoice! Red Wine Bar & Café on Phinney Ave. N. is scheduled to open in March, according to PhinneyWood.com. Owner Ryan Campell got laid off last year and has a kid, so he's aiming for affordable and family-friendly - a $5 a glass sort of place. He also plans to include "simple" food like soups and salads on the menu.

    Over in Madrona, folks can anticipate a Vietnamese-influenced French restaurant by May. The Seattle Times reports that Portage chef-owner Vuong Loc just signed a lease for the former Cremant space. Loc says the new restaurant will be similar in style to his small French bistro in Queen Anne, but with a Vietnamese-flavored oomph. Sounds interesting.
