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!

Naked Shopping Spree!

Thanks to all who came out for our Annual, Co-ed Naked Shopping Spree on Sunday – especially Felesha, Breanna, Janelle, and Rich, our awesome competitors!

The event was tons of fun and a huge success! For the first time ever, one of the male contestants chickened out so the competition was between 1 guy and 3 girls (instead of 2 and 2)…Female alternate Felesha jumped in to fill the vacant spot at the last minute and did an outstanding job.

Rich

Another first: this year’s lone male contestant, Rich, is also the only 2-time Naked Shopping Spree competitor! He ran in the 2008 Naked Shopping Spree and won this year…Guess he picked up a few tricks and tactics from his previous experience? Rich is now the official ambassador for The Red Light’s Naked Shopping Spree event; his name has been randomly chosen twice to compete from nearly 500 entrants. How can you not believe in destiny?

Janelle

Also, Janelle, our second place finisher this year has the distinct honor of putting on more clothes than any other woman in the history of this contest! In just 3 minutes, she put on 18 items – just shy of winner Rich’s 20 items.

Along with the many, many onlookers were multiple Portland media outlets. Seems our Naked Shopping Spree was the news story of Sunday, Feb. 21 (a nice change from police shootings). On hand covering the event were crews from KATU, FOX 12, The Oregonian and PDX.FM.

We had a great time and hope you did too! The 2010 Annual, Co-ed Naked Shopping Spree raised the stakes for next year…We’re already planning how to top it!

(P.S. More photos from the event can be seen on our Facebook page!)

NAKED SHOPPING SPREE TODAY @ 5 pm!

How many clothes could you put on in 3 minutes?

Today at 5 pm we’ll find out just how many garments 4 fellow Portlanders (2 gals, 2 guys) can pile on in 3 minutes for our ANNUAL CO-ED NAKED SHOPPING SPREE! And, yes, they are going to start this contest totally nude!

We’ll have live music beginning at 3 pm to help get everyone warmed up…The public is invited to come watch and cheer on our contestants!
Don’t miss out!

(We’re open for regular shopping, too!)

Time is ticking if you want to enter The Red Light’s annual, Co-ed Naked Shopping Spree – tomorrow is the last day to throw your name in the ring!

Friday night (Feb. 12) we’ll be drawing out of a hat the names of 4 customers (2 guys, 2 gals). They’ll be the people you see running through the store naked, trying to put on as many clothes as possible, on Sunday, Feb. 21 at 5 pm. All of the contestants win prizes, but whoever puts on the most clothes wins everything he/she puts on plus a $100 Red Light gift card!

Even if you aren’t selected to run, come to The Red Light to watch! This event is open to the public, and we’ll be “warming up” all afternoon with live music and door prizes.

The Red Light’s Naked Shopping Spree has already received coverage in PDX Neat Sheet, MOD and pdx.fm – be there or be square!
