Saturday: Tacoma Music and Fashion For The Helm
"Necessity is the father of invention"
That seems to be the credo of Julie Bennett of Urban Xchange who is putting on a fashion show to help raise money to save The Helm. Yet, the event looks to be much more.
Here'a a message from the promoters:
____________________________
You were mesmerized by House of Kublah Kahn...did backflips for The Tacoma Fashion Carnival, and now, we present our biggest production to date! We might never have an event of this magnitude again....
The evening will be a celebration of Tacoma Arts and Tall ships with invites going out to the international sailor crews on board all 30 ships.
Loads of gorgeous models, indie designers and stylists, Live painting, multimedia exhibits, collage and music performers, including the unique and eclectic sounds of Moon struck and haircuts to the glam rock sounds of Fairest is as the Fairest do all in an intimate performance setting.
....and he's big in Seattle, but happens to be from Tacoma, local Electrorash DJ David Wolf! He will be spinning the fashion show and mixing up something to make Tacoma dance into a frenzy!
Check out the rest of the Tall Ships events - including a free concert Sunday in the park with Kimya Dawson, singer on the Juno soundtrack...come downtown! (PS: new jewelry and custom Tacoma T-shirts just in!)
Tall ships hours 10-9 except 4th of July 11-3
