Girl stuff is always fun to read on your blog, since most of your post are extremely man friendly.   It is like having a &#8220;Sephora&#8221; downtown! They carry bareMinerals and smashbox.  PLUS they have great vintage jewelry and lots of fun accessories (purses, scarves,gloves, etc.)<\/p>\n<p>I definitely want this place to stick around.  Otherwise, you have to drive to Avenue Carriage Crossing or Wolfchase Mall for this stuff.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Also, ladies, while I have your attention, I&#8217;d like to ask your help with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shoppingbloodhound.com\">Shopping Bloodhound<\/a> site I launched this morning.  I realize the clothing, shoe, and watch lines I carry on there right now are somewhat man-centric.  I just don&#8217;t know which brands women love.  Mainly I&#8217;m looking for stuff that either isn&#8217;t available locally, or which is cost-prohibitive from buying in boutiques and stores, but might not be on eBay.\u00a0 If you can suggest brands shoot me an e-mail at paul@paulryburn.com.\u00a0 It&#8217;s already been suggested that I add a purses\/handbags section, and that is in the works, so suggestions on that category are welcome too.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re a Memphis musician or part of the music scene, the Hard Rock Cafe and the Memphis and Shelby County Music Commission want you to come to their networking event, held every other Monday at the Hard Rock from 5:30 to 7:30 PM.\u00a0 There will be complimentary appetizers, a lively atmosphere of discussion, and the chance to connect with others in the industry.\u00a0 This is part of the Hard Rock&#8217;s &#8220;authenticity&#8221; theme:\u00a0 They want to do more than just open a club and make money &#8211; they want to do their part to improve the music scene in the city.\u00a0 Good for them.<\/p>\n<p>Through Valentine&#8217;s Day there will be a discount in the National Ornamental Metal Museum store&#8230; 15% off for members and 10% off for non-members.\u00a0 Bet you could pick up a unique gift there for your sweetie.<\/p>\n<p>Cafe Soul is hosting an event called &#8220;Erotegy&#8221; Saturday night at 9 PM to celebrate Valentine&#8217;s Day.\u00a0 Couples will learn to spice up their relationship with a sex toy demonstration, a sexy dance performance, live music, and poetry.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m suffering from a case of &#8220;the Brittneys&#8221; today, meaning I&#8217;m feeling extremely lazy, too lazy to compile a list of all the other V-Day events.\u00a0 So instead I&#8217;ll refer you to this week&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.downtownmemphis.com\/domain\/news\/html\/thisweek.html\">Livin&#8217; It Up in Downtown newsletter<\/a> where you can see what&#8217;s going on.\u00a0 Okay, I will mention one &#8211; the Spaghetti Warehouse is having a mystery dinner theater that night.\u00a0 That&#8217;s something you don&#8217;t see down here too often.<\/p>\n<p>Time to go spend my $5 gift certificate that I won from a Saucer beer quiz&#8230; if you&#8217;re in the UFO club and they don&#8217;t have your e-mail, you&#8217;re missing out on the chance to win these from time to time.\u00a0 I&#8217;ll be at the Memphis Flyer Hotties party around 5:30ish or so.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kacy and Suzy, the two ladies who helped me plan the TubeTopalooza party last year, asked me to give Delphinium a mention on my blog.\u00a0 It&#8217;s a boutique in the South Main district, in the Arcade building just east of the restaurant on G.E.
