Conscious Fashionistas Presents at Pecha Kucha and Dresses Homeless Women at A Good Day
One of our favorite and most important aspects of our business is to find ways to give back to the community. It’s a simple thing, really, since it’s aligned with our values both as individuals and as a rockin’ team of four!
And it’s even easier when ways of giving back seem to effortlessly come to us.
On Friday, December 12th, Poonam Kapoor, our favorite Operations & Finance guru in our Conscious Fashionistas crew, will present at Pecha Kucha in Oakland. She’s been creating and rehearsing their streamlined format of presenting 20 slides at 20 seconds each to an audience of local artists, designers, media, and lovers of new ideas. And it’s quite fitting, since December’s Pecha Kucha theme is NEW. We’ll be explaining how reusing what’s already on the planet, shopping to help foster community, and celebrating the brilliant curves of a natural woman is the NEWest and best idea to come around this year. We’ll be posting the video of our presentation, so check back!
Then on Sunday, December 14th, Conscious Fashionistas have donated their time and a trunkful of their thrift couture to A Good Idea, who will make Sunday A Good Day at A Good Hotel to pamper, makeover, and dress San Francisco’s homeless. We’ll be working the women’s clothing area and making women feel great about themselves.
You can always keep tabs on our whereabouts and our gifts to the community through our photos on our Facebook page.
Our next shopping party hopes to arrive like the flowers in the spring, so check back here after the New Year for more news and have a fantastic roundout of 2008 for what we believe will be an even more fantastic 2009!
Love,
Your Favorite Conscious Fashionistas
