Lots of news today… but before we get to the news, it’s time to roll out my latest site. This is not one I’d ever shop at myself, but I’m guessing that the people who shop at Tube Top Boutique will like it.
Consumer PINKtronics sells pink electronics, appliances, and musical instruments. I guess the original idea for this site came a few years ago when I was hanging out with Ptolemy Kat at Sleep Out Louie’s, and she was all excited about her pink phone. Since then I’ve noticed how a lot of women go crazy for pink MP3 players, pink laptops, and that kind of stuff, and I decided that would be a good niche for a store.
As always, this is done in association with Amazon
The Orpheum will have a brief fashion show before the screening of Sex and the City this Thursday, June 11. Outfits from Shelton, Muse, and Runway Boutique will be featured. Also, Itta Bena will be in the lobby handing out coupons for discounts or specials.
JAWS is the Friday night, June 12 summer movie at the Orpheum, and individuals and families are invited to bring in their best vacation photo to be entered in a raffle. Winner will get a one night stay in the KING suite in the Hampton Inn Downtown.
Teeth for Tails is this Friday at Main Street Dental. You can buy a $100 bleaching tray with all proceeds going to benefit animal rescue. There will also be free hot dogs and ice cream, and a $5 per ticket raffle. Items that can be won in the raffle include a $500 Main Street Dental goody basket, Malco movie tickets, a $100 Capriccio gift certificate for dinner for two, a $25 Memphis Pizza Cafe certificate, a $20 Huey’s gift card, a $50 Tug’s/Currents gift card, a one night stay at Homewood Suites by Hilton valued at $150, a Shelton Clothiers Pink Pig baseball cap, a $25 Kooky Canuck gift certificate, and Waterford Crystal pieces valued at $215.
I’ve blogged from time to time about MPACT Memphis, an organization that is a great way to network, socialize, meet other young leaders, and get plugged into volunteer opportunities. If you’re a Downtowner who is interested in learning more about MPACT, you can do so at MPACT 101 next Tuesday, June 16, at Bardog Tavern at 6 PM. You’ll be able to drink a PBR at Happy Hour prices (for the first hour anyway) and enjoy some of Chef Demietrie’s fantastic food as you learn about MPACT. I’m not real active with them anymore, but I was on their board in 2004-05 and am still a huge fan of the organization.
I saw on Twitter that the Nuh-Uh Girl is interested in learning about MPACT… they must be serving free food at a lot of their events lately.
Guess I should get dressed up for this art opening at the Majestic tonight… of course, “dressed up” for me means I’ll put on a solid colored Hawaiian shirt with my shorts and flip-flops, instead of the “NO BUMS” or “I LOVE ROMANIAN GIRLS” or Hoop’s Bar T-shirt that I’d probably wear otherwise. Hey, at least it’s an effort.
I’ll be at trivia before 7. There’s also an SMA meeting at Pearl’s tonight, but it looks like I’m going to miss that one.
