Where does Colin Jones get off on being so Goddamn talented? This fucking guy, looking all serious with his homeless-ass beard like a hipster-ascetic biding his time under some withered tree, awaiting the arrival of a mystical snake to teach him the long forgotten ways of Electroarts… who died & gave him all this giant fucking magnetic talent?!?

What used to be an oasis in an industrial ghetto is now an oasis in an affluent ghetto. Mike and Jen Sawyer opened a bar 10 years ago in the Pearl that had the same amount of pretension as the neighborhood then. None. Now the high and mighty Pearl has the most pretension and sterile taste in the state. And today the Low Brow is not just a comfortable dark and smoky lounge for the Pearl, but part of the elite in Portland’s Bars. (more…)
Check out the latest from okpony.
A label inspired by a nickname and a 10 year internship with Mom.
Each fashion piece of Jenjoy designs is created from scratch. No two will be exactly alike unless labeled LIMITED. A creative love for every aspect of design and sewing is the inspiration for this authenticity. “I get true satisfaction making every unique piece. It reminds me of painting because sometimes I just don’t know what is going to happen next!” tells Jen. (more…)

Scary things can tend to happen on a lunch hour. Long lines, credit cards declined, flies in the soup, hunger pains, stale bread…and hell, even stale jokes. But NOTHING could ever prepare me for what happened the other day at my favorite lunch spot. There I was, minding my own business, visualizing the delicious five-alarm chili that would soon be burning the inside lining of my stomach, when out of nowhere the woman in front of me reaches into her FANNY PACK to pull out her method of payment. At first I was convinced that Doc Brown had shoved me into the DeLorean and I was relieving my youth, but then I came to and remembered my favorite band was not Wilson Phillips, and that 90210 had since been cancelled. What the hell? Fanny pack? Is that really you?
The answer my friends, is yes. The fanny pack is back on the scene and it’s taking no prisoners (side note: ‘fanny’ is also a British slang term for girl parts, and by girl parts I mean vagina). Designer labels including Gucci, Fendi and Louis Vuitton have hopped on the fanny train and created several styles to store your precious valuables in at less than an arm’s length away. They do use code words like ‘waist pouch’, or ‘waist belt bag’ to trick you into believing that it’s not a recycled fad from the days of peg-legged jeans or hypercolor. The time of neon-colored belly bags are gone however, and have been replaced with black, neutrals, and of course designer logo patterns to give it a more highbrow feel. But, with a great status symbol also comes a great chunk of change, and the purchase of this trend will most likely require the use of your ‘has-been’ wallet. So just remember dear reader, whether you feel that ‘the pack’ is a fashion do or don’t, money will never go out of style.

You know. Portland Oregon. Home sweet home of the Breeze Block Gallery. Tucked away off Alberta Street murals cover the front and inside of the shop and a ‘whatever goes’ wall on the side of the building. In love with the new location, Paige Pendergast started the gallery as Street Level perched in an alley off Mississippi. From there she and friends decided that the alley wasn’t the best for visibility and looked to move. After a solid search the treasure was found. Two garage doors front and back, a private back patio and parking. And conveniently next door is the Bye & Bye, a bar that is busy every night. Dreamy. (more…)
