Friday Photo: Colors of Mexico
In need of some color today, so went back to some Mexico photos from this fall. I visited right before Dia de los Muertos, and everywhere you looked there were decorations. These flags covered an entire alley, fluttering in the wind against a bright blue sky.
It’s All About Who You Work With
Seen on Twitter yesterday:
“Partnering with the right person, you accomplish 4X. Partner with the wrong person, you accomplish 1/4X.”
So true.
2011: Off to a Running Start
Combine friends, snowshoes, and a crisp, sunny winter day and you have the recipe for the successful start to a whole new year.
God Jul!
Sweden has snow and weather in the negative teens. Here in the Northwest it’s dark and rainy. The perfect time for candles, mandelmusslor, saffransbröd and glögg.
God Jul!

Friday Photo: Portland In the Tetons
I love this photo for a lot of reasons:
- The Innate thermos has hot cider in it.
- That’s my favorite PDX bike sticker.
- This hike was fantastic.
Best. Party. Ever. December 10, 2010
There are a lot of reasons I like what I do, and one of them is putting together crazy events like this one:
Ready to get wild this holiday season? Well, look no further. Break out your uber-hawt jungle safari costumes and boogie on down for a night of fashion and celebration to save elephants.
Portland’s fashion elite have joined forces with the conservation community to throw a wild couture fashion show featuring local, eco designers in an effort to save wild African elephants from the illegal ivory trade. So, paint yourself up like a zebra, grab some cash money for a hot limited-edition Looptworks elephant t-shirt and make your way to Boothster on 521 NE Davis for the party of the season.
Who: Elephant Ivory Project — fueled by EP Films
What: Go Wild! A Night of Fashion and Celebration to Save Elephants! Here’s the gist: Elephants are being killed by poachers at a rate of 10 percent per year. That means that in just a few years wild elephant populations may not exist anymore. So, in January, EP Films is embarking on a forensic biology expedition to the remote jungle of the Democratic Republic of Congo with the goal of saving wild elephants from the illegal ivory trade. You can learn more here. And do your part — come to the party!
$10 gets you a cup and beer for the night, $5 glasses of wine
$15 gets you a sweet limited-edition Looptworks elephant t-shirt
$5 gets you 3 raffle tix for great prizes from Sierra Designs, SPOT Messenger, NAU and more!
Photo booth — strike a pose and get wild for photos by RM Photo! All images will be uploaded to Flickr and Facebook the next day for free download.
Costume contest! That’s right, we know you like to dress up. So find your inner animal and do it up right. Best contest gets a fabulous prize!
When: December 10 – Doors – 8pm, Fashion Show – 930pm, Party – All the time!
Where: Boothster – 521 NE Davis in PDX
Why: Hawt fashion, drinks, dance party, safari costumes, photo booth… All in the name of a good cause. Need I say more?
