Happy Birthday Radish!Well friends, what can I say?
You are all amazing, we appreciate everyone's unwavering support, we are in awe of the talent we've been able to feature, and we had a heck of a good time with ya'll at the party. In short, THANK YOU.
Here's to year TWO!

Betsy & Iya Jewelry, the latest greatest addition to Radish :)

Standing room only for the shindig.
See first half of our current window below-- some of our favorite PDX lines brought us one garment or outfit to display (along with a bio about the line) for the rest of the month. Stop by to see who we love! And an image from the slideshow that was projected onto our mezzanine during the party (some great shots starting from our cross country road trip to gather furniture through the entire year's worth of events-- thank you Ivan!).
PIN THE RADISH!
One of two halloweenie games for sweet prizes...

From Radish stickers & buttons, to tee shirts, candles, mystery bags, and Thundies, our lucky guests got to don a blindfold, spin three times and pin the radish for a prize.

Working their way in from the outside...
...bullseye!!

Everyone is a winner, here's the proof :)...

Even though Paloma was bummed to get just a sticker, she couldn't keep the smiles at bay for long...

We were honored to see so many of the shining faces of
our designers... (above pining the radish you already saw corset goddess
Paloma Soledad, also spinning was Amber Arquette of
Dress Up Alice, and jewelry designer
Gowan Lester showing off her new 'I Rose PO' tee)...

APPLE BITE!
The second game of the evening...

Jessica and Beau manned this
hilarious adventure into the world of apple biting technique...
...and while you may think there is only one way to bite said apple, you would be mistaken.
For example, you can
scream at it (see example A by jewelry designer
Elyse Bunkers):
Whisper sweet nothings according to Jessica...

There's the subtle
nibble approach or the
stalk and pounce...
You can go at it
from the side...
Over the top...

From
underneath...

Sneak up from behind... or
fake left bite right...
Beware, not all methods are effective... and you may just end up
frustrated.

At which point you go for straight full frontal attack like
penfifteen designer Eddy Able...

All of the above bringing a plethora of results...


Isaac was the big winner, with a 4 second bite-so quick we didn't even get a pic
(followed closely by David, Justin, Madeleine, and Logan, all under 6 secs! Wow!).


So many bday gifts! Thank You!!

Phew! It's been quite a journey!
Here we are, a year later, and still smiling...
Again, all that's left to say is THANK YOU...

and we'll see you at the YEAR TWO PARTY!!
