Racked LA (cool site by the way) has a nice little write-up on Unique Los Angeles. Check it out here…

more info on the show we’re doing next weekend!

We’re working hard this weekend on promoting the Unique Los Angeles event that’s coming next weekend!  Very grateful to our friends at “Home” restaurant in Los Feliz and Silverlake/Echo Park (both locations) who are helping us to promote the event through their restaurant – passing out promo cards to customers!!!  I understand there’s also a hard-working crew out at the UCLA Festival of Books this weekend – they are passing out cards there too.  If you’re in Los Angeles this coming weekend – - hopefully you will come by.  Check out the fantastic site for the event:  www.uniquelosangeles.com

Funny how things happen.  A friend of ours, Jane Bolduc, is a singer/songwriter and is part of a community that does fundraising for good causes around Los Angeles (Grassroots Acoustica).  When her bud, Mark Islam, (Grassroots Acoustica “MC”) called us and needed something to wear for one of their benefits – we gladly obliged.  As it turns out this particular fundraiser was taped as part of a reality show!!  So, he will be wearing a Furlesque vintage mash-up in an upcoming episode of Tori Spelling’s and Dean McDermott’s reality show “Tori and Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood.”

Now for the bittersweet part – they were raising money for Tori’s Mimi LaRue Fund for Sick and Injured Animals at Much Love Animal Rescue (Mimi LaRue was Tori’s beloved pug who passed away in 2008).

We’ll keep you posted on when the episode will air – but here’s a little blip about it in the Santa Monica Daily Mirror.  For more info on Mark and his fundraising crue go to the Grassroots Acoustica website and for more info on the Mimi LaRue Fund check out their page at Much Love Animal Rescue.

Editor’s Note: What’s a vintage mashup? Its Furlesque’s limited line of hand-picked vintage items silkscreend with our imagery – these one-of-a-kind pieces are available in the Furlesque Vintage Boutique.

This is a fantastic event you shouldn’t miss.  Furlesque will be at the second Unique show in Los Angeles May 2nd & 3rd.  Interesting vendors, music, penthouse location downtown…..free giveaways….what more could a girl/guy need – details are here….

P.S. come wish me a happy birthday on May 2nd!!!
