Out of Line...The Event Night

There is so much to tell!!! Where, oh where to begin? The set-up,I have to admit, was skeptical at first. You have visited Bouncing Wall before, right? Imagine, a live dj, three live window models, two additional racks of clothing…additional to the already 5.5 racks living in the shop, counter upon counter of ceramics, blown glass, jewelry, etc, a hearty sized table of yummy appetizers and a room full of family, friends and loyal, supportive customers. The store was about to bust out of it’s seems but all the love in the room held it together nicely….the wine helped a bit too ;) Of course we were sure to leave room for the wine pouring and sipping!
Before the event started we managed to fit Michelle, Amanda and Holly, the very talented hair stylists and make-up artist who work at Intermezzo Salon & Spa in Queen Anne (now on top of
the hill), into our hallway where they gracefully transformed it into a cozy styling space. Our three models, Ashley, Pricilla and Mary looked stunning! As they worked the windows that evening striking pose by pose and caught the eye of many passer bys. Some could not, help but come inside to ease their curiosity, second guessing if they we're real or not. It was important to us to have the models and the Intermezzo stylist be part of this event. It just goes to show how fortunate we Seatilites are to live and work in communities that come together. Right on Seattle!
Adding to the vibe, in a huge way, was DJ Woogie. DJ Woogie put it all out there just like you know he would, with a little shakin,’ a bit of soul and a whole lot of boogie! A good to know spot for those who like to groove, and you know who you are, is Sea Monster Lounge every Saturday night for Purple Haze Night. Check DJ Woogie out!

You should know that this was Bouncing Walls first event showcasing a fashion designer. We are so thrilled that it was Beki Wilson’s, Out of Line, Summer line that was featured! We love what she does. Her designs are perfect for many body types and occasions. They emphasize simple, well-structured lines contouring a woman’s body, a variety of solid colors with just enough frills to have fun, and a good variety of casual and formal wear. The signature folding (for lack of a better design term) of her fabrics which incorporate free hand machine stitching, gives it a look that nobody else is doing... making her style uniquely subtle, which I personally love! Having Beki’s family and friends present was one of the best parts of the whole night. It was so awesome and rewarding to have the event be somewhat of a family affair. This aspect totally contributes to the celebration of community and it's talents.

One show at a time BW will bring our community together through local independent art, design and creativity by providing a venue to show, display, purchase and most important for all to enjoy. Oh, hey! That sounds like a mission statement! Many thanks to Kim for the vision and esteem to make it all happen!
