Look at the rad sidewalk chalk message someone left in front of Red Light today!
This totally made us smile – it’s exactly what Red Light Clothing Exchange is all about: Wear some art and have fun with your clothes!
Local label Eighth of Judah just sweetened the prize pot for this year’s Naked Shopping Spree: they’re gifting the winner with an awesome bag (pictured above)! Hand-stitched and designed right here in PDX.
Along with the Eighth of Judah slouch bag, SE Portland’s champion naked shopper will go home with a $100 Red Light gift certificate, a Rock Socks prize pack ($60 value) and some custom undies from Snarky Cards ($20 value)…and EVERYTHING he/she puts on during the Naked Shopping Spree! Plus a jumbo trophy (currently on view at Red Light) and major bragging rights!
Second, third and fourth runners up also get a bunch of great prizes including clothes and gift cards from Red Light and socks from Rock Socks.
More than 100 people have already dropped their names in the pot, hoping to be one of the four randomly chosen to compete in the Naked Shopping Spree. And there’s still time for you to enter – anyone who makes a purchase at Red Light before store closing on April 20 can enter the Naked Shopping Spree drawing.
The Red Light’s Annual Co-Ed Naked Shopping Spree will happen on Sunday, April 24, at 5 pm. Event is open to the public. Come watch!
Red Light’s Annual Co-Ed Naked Shopping Spree will be happening on Sunday, April 24!
Anyone over the age of 18 who makes a purchase at our Hawthorne store between now and April 20 can enter their name in a drawing to be one of the four lucky contestants (two guys, two gals) who’ll get to streak through our shop in a mad dash for clothes and cash (a.k.a. Red Light gift certificates). Plus, this year’s prize pool is bigger than ever with local companies Snarky Cards and Rock Socks donating goodies. Meow!
Hundreds of people entered to run in the 2010 Naked Shopping Spree, and last year’s winner, Rich, will be on hand April 24 to crown 2011′s winner.
We’ll also have live music leading up to the big race at 5 pm, Snarky Cards herself in shop to make customized stationary just for you and a few other prizes and surprises to boot!
