GQ Names The Red Light one of the 25 Best Vintage Stores in America!
We are so flattered to be included in GQ magazine’s just-released list of the 25 Best Vintage Stores in America! Not only is The Red Light the only store in the Northwest to make the list, we are one of the only budget-friendly stores to make the grade…Most of the other stores in GQ’s round-up are high-end vintage boutiques where you pay $50+ for a flannel you could score at The Red Light for $14.
It’s an honor to be recognized as the best in the nation – thank you GQ!
And thank you fashion fiends of Portland…While we work hard to continually improve The Red Light, we see this accolade as a reflection on the great style and creativity of PDX as much as The Red Light!

Portland Urban Iditarod Today!
Lots fun happening around Portland today! Along with the sun, today brings Portland’s Urban Iditarod…It involves running and drinking and dressing in crazy costumes. Beyond that, we’re a little vague. You can find out more on thevent’s Wikipedia pagee . The race starts at 11:30 am under the east end of the Hawthorne bridge.
Of course, if you’d rather get some fly gear for yourself than watch other people play dress up, we’ve got hundreds of new goodies for you to peruse. Seriously, our buying counter has been BUSY lately – which means tons of new, awesome items on the racks!

Naked Shopping Spree in The Oregonian!
Portland’s paper of note, The Oregonian, is showing us some love this weekend with an awesome feature all about our Naked Shopping Spree (which took place last Sunday). Along with a great article by Peter Ames Carlin, the feature includes lots of action photos – and if you check things out online, a video of the event itself!
Once again, thank you to all who came out to watch the Naked Shopping Spree and especially our four awesome contestants!
Also, big thanks to Peter, Motoya and Brent at The Oregonian for their excellent coverage and celebrating local business!

One of the best things about working at The Red Light? Seeing how much fun people have in the store – like these guys, rocking some recently arrived deadstock ’80s ski jackets!
If a website could go on dates, we’d ask her out. Love!
