Posted April 23, 200916 yr I received notice from one of my co-workers that Fountain Square would be host to the second-annual Eco Go Go Fashion Show, so I made my way down during an extended lunch break. The day was supported by local, green businesses: * Park+Vine, Cincinnati's green general store and educational center * Buy Cincy * Cincy Chic * Campus Cyclery * Nati Evolvement * City Roots Urban Garden Shop * The Spotted Goose * A Salon Named Desire The event was also highlighted with Metro's debut of their new hybrid buses. Imago Earth was also present. Imago is an urban nature preserve located only five minutes away. Note: I was testing out different focusing modes for one of the new lenses that I received, and coupled with 30 MPH wind gusts, some of the images were a little more blurry than others. I apologize. Our first children's outfit is worn by Miss Tigerlily, provided by Spotted Goose, the adorable skirt is by The Girls Mom, and Tigerlily is wearing a Spotted Goose A.K. initial t-shirt with Monag leggings to keep her legs nice and warm. Her guardian, Angel, here is wearing Prana's amazing Rachel dress in Sea Coral. Her earrings are recycled bottle caps from Little Kings. Prisca is sporting a cute yoga outfit from Namuste Tee and Borrego Pants. Aaron will show you men that it is not all about hemp bag pants and flannel shirts. The spicolli hoodie in spruce is a great way to warm up in fall and winter, but also great for breezy spring days or late night walks with a fabulous graphic of the sun on the right shoulder. Aaron is also sporting the Morrison plaid shirt, kick back and you can dress these up with a button-up and tie, or wear them with a tee from tee hugger shirts available at Park+Vine. Look at that chiseled face! It's like one of those Ralph Lauren models! :) Lunch date? This is the perfect dress! The Lola dress in Capri Blue Flower is a real eye popper. Alexis is just radiant in this colorful floral design, paired perfectly for a girl to get shopping with her reusable enviro-sax shopping bag. Alex's necklace is by Stiffler, and is made from recycled cloth cord with a Kazuri pendant. Max, keeping it real for his generation. Wearing a Tee Hugger shirt, the message is simple: Conserve energy, turn off the lights, respect nature. Even children know this! Shorts are by Prana. This is a great evening look from Dreamsack bamboo clothing. Gretchen is wearing an Eggplant Tube dress paired with a wrap. Bamboo helps keep your body cool in hot weather by wicking away moisture to the outside of the material, helping it to evaporate faster. Gretchen's purse is by Lucia's Imports. Her necklace, wooden pendant on a rubber cord, is by Zephyr Woods, the Jewelry for Change line. Take a chance on Fountain Square's own Chance Baker! Topped in Prana's recycled cowboy hat, Chance is ready for anything this Square has for him. Chance is in Stretch Zion Pants. These pants are thin enough to keep you cool, thick enough to keep you dry, and strong enough to take you rock climbing. The 100% natural cotton blend pant is paired with a Deadstock belt, discovered in an abandoned belt factory. Deadstock belts brings back belts made in the 1960s and 1970s. Chance is also sporting a Tee Hugger shirt. Lovely Amy is ready for anything from designing hair to going to the park in this adorable ensemble from Park+Vine, a Dreamsack dress with a daisy tank from Prana underneath. Slung around the dress is this Green Lam diaper bag so stylish with mother earth and in mothering her son, Cass, who is sporting Spotted Goose's Abe Jones Drummer Pant Set. Here is Lisa from Sugarscreens screen printing in Cincinnati. Lisa is in a fantastic go anywhere, do anything outfit by Prana. The jeans have a snug fit that don't hold tight but are graciously comfortable and look fabulous. Her shirt is a Prana top, in beautiful blues matching the belt by Zero Per Gallon. The belt is made from recycled bicycle tires, which shows off her Rivets bracelet. To top it off is a hemp conductor's cap. Now here is our classic Little Black Dress, what is wardrobe without a little black dress? Kristin is showing off Same Underneath's Little Black Dress, which is stylish, sophisticated and sexy, like Kristin. Play it up with pearls or tibeten silver from Mahatma, or play it down with flats and a scarf! A perfect dress! But, who isn't perfect with little Amy next to her? All dressed up by Spotted Goose, the Twirls and Twigs dress plants a tree for every piece of clothing sold. Here is Mary and Roan in their perfect play time in the park outfits, also great for Sunday picnics, walking through Krohn's conservatory and so forth. A Violet top in lime green by Prana, and the white eyelet skirt is a great look worn by pretty Mary. The diaper bag is by Lovey Dovey, and it looks good enough to use when little man Roan here is all grown up. Roan is playing hard in a great outfit by Abe Jones, layered with a Tiny Revolutionary t-shirt from Spotted Goose. Part 2 coming up!
April 23, 200916 yr And of course... Maximillian with his super-adorable son! Yeah, film crews show up and start asking us what we thought of the show? I back away.
April 23, 200916 yr Fun thread! Sherman, you must be attending entirely too many fashion shows; you have the patter frighteningly well!
April 23, 200916 yr And of course... Maximillian with his super-adorable son! Yeah, film crews show up and start asking us what we thought of the show? I back away. This kid knows how to travel in style. As mrnyc would say, "super cute"!
April 23, 200916 yr All that ass ... all that ass inside those jeans ... You must be looking at a different picture than I am. I'm a culo connoisseur and I don't anyone in these picture with a "bu dunka dunk dunk" worth mentioning!
April 23, 200916 yr All that ass ... all that ass inside those jeans ... ...are you not married? :D :D
April 23, 200916 yr All that ass ... all that ass inside those jeans ... ...are you not married? :D :D Is that cincinnatus? Just because a person is married, that doesn't mean they cannot look. Touching - that's a different story.
April 24, 200916 yr ^You should know... And I didn't see a single shot of your slutty friend from Springfield, Sherman. Some vegan that _ _ _ _ _ is. "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
April 24, 200916 yr ^Yeah, that one ended soon after it began. She was... well, unfaithful and hypocritical are calm words to say! That bag was custom made by a girl in Columbus. The company name is Bindle -- http://www.myspace.com/bindlery I want one now!
April 24, 200916 yr That bag was custom made by a girl in Columbus. The company name is Bindle -- http://www.myspace.com/bindlery I want one now! Hmm...I was doing some sleuthing today and found Seagull Bags (another bag maer in Columbus...what's with that city?) but I wonder if Seagull would do a similar pattern on one of their bags. http://www.seagullbags.com/
April 24, 200916 yr They might, but its probably all custom made. I've bought Seagull bags before, they are very nice and custom.
April 24, 200916 yr Is there any sun in Cinci? Why is everyone so pale? 1) The sun came out today for the first time this Spring. 2) They had hipsters do the modeling.
April 24, 200916 yr Nor the botox. "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
April 24, 200916 yr You'll never see me rocking a Side Sweep, Fashion Mullet or capris with more cuffs than District 3 but I do love hipsters and hipster events :) Nice pics.
April 24, 200916 yr * Nati Evolvement I can't believe their site isnt even up and running yet. I bought one of their hats like 2 years ago.
April 24, 200916 yr Nor the botox. As you well know - I haven't had any sort of cosmetic procedure and if/when I do, it'll be Restylane - Botox is sooo 2002. Great photos, Sherm but I have to say, the clothes may not fit the baggy hemp/flannel motif mostly associated with eco-friendly clothing, but whoever styled them needs some tips on how to fit different body sizes appropriately. clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram
April 24, 200916 yr Nor the botox. LOL!! You'll never see me rocking a Side Sweep, Fashion Mullet or capris with more cuffs than District 3 but I do love hipsters and hipster events :) Nice pics. More cuffs than district 3 hahahaha that's awesome
April 24, 200916 yr Is there any sun in Cinci? Why is everyone so pale? Damn bro, give the Spring some time to come out and get comfortable.
April 24, 200916 yr Dude I got almost sunburned today. What's all this talk about not getting enough sun? I was only outside 3 hours and Aloe Vera is my new best friend. I wonder if Cincinnati's sun was as bad as Columbus'. I'm gonna have to go to a tanning bed or something now to even all of it out. I hate having a farmers tan. I'd rather be pale white hipster than have an uneven redneck farmers tan that I get so easily. There's nothing wrong with looking pale imo. Tina Fey is pale and she's gorgeous.
April 24, 200916 yr I never burn but in extreme circumstances. I'm back on some medication that dries my skin, so now I need to moisturize my face like there is no tomorrow.
April 24, 200916 yr Is there any sun in Cinci? Why is everyone so pale? 1) The sun came out today for the first time this Spring. 2) They had hipsters do the modeling. Don't you folks have tanning salons? Sheesh! LOL Yeah, we all can't have the tan that MayDay sports! Honey, you've got a natural tan! What are you saying? LOL You'll never see me rocking a Side Sweep, Fashion Mullet or capris with more cuffs than District 3 but I do love hipsters and hipster events :) Nice pics. Lawd. You would. Hipsters. pssst. ::) MayDay, you gettem! Is there any sun in Cinci? Why is everyone so pale? Damn bro, give the Spring some time to come out and get comfortable. Comfortable? Hell those folks look anemic! Get a base tan or something. Dude I got almost sunburned today. What's all this talk about not getting enough sun? I was only outside 3 hours and Aloe Vera is my new best friend. I wonder if Cincinnati's sun was as bad as Columbus'. I'm gonna have to go to a tanning bed or something now to even all of it out. I hate having a farmers tan. I'd rather be pale white hipster than have an uneven redneck farmers tan that I get so easily. There's nothing wrong with looking pale imo. Tina Fey is pale and she's gorgeous. All of that is scary, just scary. You kids should always use a moisturize with a sunblock. Yes there is something wrong with being to pale. It's not sexy! Looking like something right outta TrueBlood! I never burn but in extreme circumstances. I'm back on some medication that dries my skin, so now I need to moisturize my face like there is no tomorrow. Do you drink a lot of water? Does that medication have a steroid in it? I usually burn when I go out until I get that tan, and I'm paranoid about getting cancer. When I was little my mom would go out every morning and layout. Then she got this mole on her shoulder that had to be removed. The doctor told her all those years running around in sun have caught up with her.
April 24, 200916 yr Fun thread! Sherman, you must be attending entirely too many fashion shows; you have the patter frighteningly well! Oops. Overlooked this comment! I actually requested the transcript, and the speaker gave me her copy :)
April 24, 200916 yr All that ass ... all that ass inside those jeans ... ...are you not married? :D :D Is that cincinnatus? Just because a person is married, that doesn't mean they cannot look. Touching - that's a different story. I know! Those Kentuckians are so conservative. ;)

He looks innocent, but I bet he's the biggest freak on UO!
