STAYIN' ALIVE

Happy Anniversary

Radish Underground!

It's been quite a journey opening our first business in the current economy... and we are thrilled to be able to say that it's our half-birthday already! Here is our official Bowie & Balboa 'take-this-recession-and-shove-it' salute to six months since we opened our doors here in the West End.

Thank you for your continued love and support of independent fashion + art!

Now would be a good time to share some smiles from the wonderful designers who've been rocking with us along the way:

Suzie Jaberg of Suzabelle

Lindsey Reif of REIF

Summer Pinnick of Layers Squared

Paloma Soledad, corset goddess

(w/ Annie & Vanessa- models extraordinaire)

Julia Blackburn of DUST

Chelsea Erhart of ERHART

Keiran Donnelly (and Billy Montana)

creator of our amazing lamps

& hand carved jewelry

Miss Snarky Card Herself, the boob-a-licious Alisa Starr

How cute are Canadians?

Seriously, I have to point out the hand stamped package we recently received from one of our favorite canuck designers. Speaking of cute and Canadian... check out Haley in this sweet little number from Montreal line Annie 50...

Raise a Radish to the sunshine Portland! Suddenly everything in your life doesn't seem so pressing, people start driving the wrong direction down the one-ways, hipsters are smiling, and you can really appreciate why we love the great Northwest. Find a BBQ, crack a PBR, and while you're at it, read this hilarious (and PG13) blog from cracked.com about why your life is 9 kinds of awesome without all the things you think you want.
