Pride NW 2009
This will be our third year sponsoring Pride, this time we get a booth right by the river (w1). I’ll bring plenty of sunscreen and am hoping the chances for rain diminish by Saturday because I want to show off my socks and keep my toes dry at the same time. I’ll be wearing my fit flops because last year I heard over & over: “Oh, I like socks, but in summer I prefer to wear flip flops…” and if you have ever tried to wear your thongs, slip slops or what-have-you in the rain you know what I’m saying.
When we looked at the list of what did and did not sell last year we found that rainbow socks really did outsell everything else we took, by far, so it will be mostly rainbows that we bring, along with some other fun stuff like fuzzy toe socks, 3D sharks & Pretty Kitties, sock garters and petticoats (we just got some super cute new ones that are not yet on the site, some even have polka dots!!!).
So if you’re down by Waterfront Park this weekend stop by and show us your socks!

No, you don’t have to be gay to be proud, and yes, this is one of the few events I actually work at. As gay marriage and “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” get more and more coverage and controversy I think it is more important than ever to support equality and fight ignorance & the hatred it brings. This is not about glamorizing sexuality, it’s about the freedom to be who you are and love who you love with the same rights all law abiding citizens enjoy.
I agree.I’m straight but I’m not narrow! Have a great time.
I wish I could be there! Ugh, I’m still writing a paper for a class, and then grading exams and papers this weekend. I’m looking forward to the pics to come!
Sounds like fun. Meg, I love your saying…”straight but not narrow” I need to try that out on my in-laws–they need some enlightenment!
I love that you guys support Pride every year. If I didn’t live on the East Coast, I’d definitely attend. Have fun!
Niqkita, I see you have mostly women who follow these postings and patronize your shop. I’m a guy and I love women in socks. I had a girlfriend who always wore the kind with beads on top. She always looked so sexy in those socks!! We rode bicycles a lot and she had pants that when folded up, had a picture of a cyclist about to jump off the cuff. And her sock had him landing again after jumping over her bare leg. She had great calves and this drew attention to them. Has anyone heard of things like this? I wish I had taken pics!
Anyway, Niqkita, just wanted to say that you guys sound like nice classy people and I’d love to support you and your business if I lived up there. Maybe I will anyway through the mail. And you girls, keep rolling up those pantlegs! Show off your socks and a little bit of leg!
