Weird Things I Kinda Want (and You Should, Too)

W e d n e s d a y , N o v e m b e r 1 2 , 2 0 0 8


Boom! And I am back with another weird thing for your collection of weird things I know you are all building to keep up with these posts. This one comes from a childhood love of mine: Dinosaurs. I loved them as a kid, and will still watch any Jurassic Park movie anyone releases, and I would watch a Dino-Riders movie as well. That T-Rex above is a LIFESIZE replica of the real deal. Yeah, LIFESIZE. That's roughly 18 ft tall (at the top of the head) and 45 ft long. I know, it took me a minute to comprehend as well, so take your time. You ready to continue? Here comes the other shocker, it is only $36,151.47. You still there, or did you rush out to buy one? If you do want one though, be prepared to wait 4 months because each one is hand built by the supplier.

Thanks, drinkstuff

If only it fit in your Christmas stocking...looks like you can expect a box of See's Candy instead...

Hey Guys,
I just wanted to invite you 6 20 somethings to the CRAVE Holiday Party. Hope you can make it.



CRAVE Showcases the Best in Sustainable, Local Holiday Shopping on December 3rd
Portland’s Largest Holiday Shopping Event Benefits Go Red for Women

Local boutiques, designers and specialty shopping will be featured as the popular CRAVE Party returns Wednesday December 3rd with their annual CRAVE Holiday Shopping Party at LUXE Autohaus, located at 410 NE 17th Avenue in Northeast Portland. All designers are required to showcase at least one sustainable, green or organic line as part of this event. The CRAVE Holiday Shopping Party will bring together the best local designers and boutiques, converting an luxury auto dealer space into specialty boutique “shops” complete with stage and catwalk for designer fashions to walk the runway. Busy shoppers looking for the best local selection in sustainable fashion can get all of their holiday shopping done in one place in an atmosphere of fun. Go Red for Women, a non-profit group that celebrates the energy, passion and power we have as women to band together to wipe out heart disease and stroke, is the charity partner for this event.

More than 1,000 women (and men) will experience the boutique shops at CRAVE while they mingle over a Crave-licious Gingered Pom Sakétini while watching Gypsy Chic headline our live fashion show series. Guests will explore the first-ever Crave Holiday GREEN Zone sponsored by Greenloop that will feature sustainable local designs and specialty gift items that are sustainable, green or organic (a requirement for all participating vendors). The ultimate in pampering services featuring “holiday hands”~a pumpkin hand mask and manicure, head massage, waxing, henna and more will be offered to maximize relaxation and to de-stress before the holiday rush. Featured local shops include Greenloop, Meringue Boutique, Frock, Gypsy Chic, Amy Burgess, Sameunderneath, Allium, Missionary Chocolates, Blooming Moon Spa, Green Lemonaide and many others from all over the region.

CRAVE brings “everything you Crave under one roof” – shopping, pampering, mingling with friends, live fashion shows – all in one place, for one event. CRAVE takes place from 5-9 p.m. on Wednesday, December 3rd at LUXE Autohaus, located at 410 NE 17th Avenue (NE 17th and Glisan). $15 advance tickets online at www.craveportland.com. $20 at the door.
