Called The Goonies Disc Blaze, the sneakers features a "twist tie" system instead of laces and will hit stores in December 2008. Sez Slashfilm...

The sneakers feature original artwork of the famous One Eyed Willie treasure map, in addition to the Goonies film logos on heel, sockliner and midsole and a silhouette of the Goonies and Sloth watching the pirate ship go down.

Yes, you love The Goonies... BUT WILL YOU WEAR THIS SHOE?

While I was there I ran into Heather Treadway of Paperdoll Fashion, who was dropping off some pieces she had just finished for the store, which featured lot of bright, punchy colors ("I am squeezing out the last drops of summer!" says Emily). My favorite was this futuristic short sleeved windbreaker vest (also in hot pink), as well as some taupe-y pieces featuring braided belts meant for around your waist, but I wanted them around my neck, while Emily proposed around your head, which led to an agreement that Arkie Whiteley in The Road Warrior had the right idea with hair:

Here's an array of Sword + Fern jewelry, mostly earrings made of fasteners used on car parts. I love the shape, and the bigger the better. Emily has tons of variations on these.

Among many other lovely little antiques and notions are some of Emily's lip balms that she makes in small batches. Look for other Ladyhawk Botanicals down the road, from tinctures and salves to dried herbs and teas.

The store is very personal, with loads of specially selected vintage pieces for the home and for wearing. For 254 square feet, there are a surprising number of small treasures to look at.

This week, Leanne dialed it way back, and created a look that showed restraint while maintaining her signature in an exquisitely scalloped skirt with a simple draped top--Heidi Klum declared that she would wear it "in a heartbeat," while guest judge Sandra Bernhard expressed disbelief that she could have finished so poorly just one challenge away. Leanne didn't win, but she essentially got second place, with the camera panning back and forth between her and Kenley's look, a risky montage of busy print and lopsided tulle with a short skirt and high neck that seemed to initially put off everyone, including Tim Gunn, who, when he went in to check on the designers' progress, fretted that the fabric combination threatened to be too costume-y, and judge Michael Kors, who teased that you could wear it if you had a goiter on one side of your body. Nonetheless, they convinced each other to make Kenley the winner. The loser, meanwhile, was Emily, whose dress was admittedly crappy--a one-armed LBD with a giant caterpillar of cha cha ruffles that cut straight across her boobs and down her torso to end on the right edge of the model's crotch. But the dress I most disagreed with the judges on was Terri's dress with pants look accentuated with ridiculous clown sleeves. Terri kept saying she was going for a graffiti inspired street look and Bernhard even said it looked like something a girl who carried a knife would wear, none of which I read in this high-knecked bonbon hands thingy.

Leanne's outfit was hands down the best. Maybe not the riskiest, but as far as what most stylish women are going to wear, come on:

It's subtle yet remarkable, classy and edgy, and she made it in one day. I think she's going to New York.

These Levi's are currently on eBay with current bidding at $15,100! Found in a Mojave Desert mine, and are believed to be circa the 1890s. They're in surprisingly excellent condition! Seriously, compared to some of the brand new styles you see on the racks at Diesel, these are totally mint.

i do hope that whoever ends up with these actually wears them. At least once. Speaking of which, bidding closes in less than 19 hours, so hop on it, eccentric millionaires.

Cute, right?

Science & Sons Phonophone IIs (which "exploit the virtues of horn acoustics to boost the audio output of standard earphones to up to 55 decibles," not to mention look really cool:

Duncan Quinn accessories, such as glass cuff links:

The store is also teaming up with Duchess, who will be conducting the customer service end of their custom tailoring business out of the store, and have also created the Viceroy Collection as an off-the-rack store exclusive. (Sayler is also in talks with Pinkham Millinery and Hazel Cox.)

The store promises to be a great addition to Portland's menswear options, classy but not uptight. Peep the blog for tons more on what's to come, from more beautiful ties (and suspeners and bowties) to apparel from Obedient Sons to traditionally made British shoes from Grenson to Italian Seize sur Vingt shirts.

In the meantime, pick up the tix for Friday's show to see the best of both generations. It's at the Melody Ballroom (615 SE Alder), 7 pm, $3-12.

Not just a painter, Utt also makes jewelry and accessories under the name Zachary Pryor (a few name droppings: they've been on the pages of Maxim, Time Out New York, InStyle, worn on episodes of The L Word, One Life to Live, and All My Children, and worn by Avril Lavigne, Mary-Kate Olsen, John Tartaglia, and Shirley Manson), which REDUX is carrying. My favorite favorite pieces are the busy, one-of-a-kind charm earrings:

Stop by next Friday for the opening reception, 6-9:30 pm, at REDUX, 811 E Burnside

Yikes. Check out Leanne's dress, along with the competition, here. And in case you were wondering, this leak has now proved officially false. Far from being out, Suede won the challenge. And while you know where my loyalties lie, I totally would wear his dress. Next week, hopefully, there will be less of Leanne crying. Speaking of which, I hope she's been sleeping like a rock since she got home.

Her process goes something like this:
You meet, you tell her what you want, you give her an idea of your style and she whips up a bag...for about fifty bucks, depending on the fabric and how complicated the pattern is.

Whatever the case, The Tanker (4825 SE Hawthorne--it's a new place and the sign is on order, but it's right on the corner of 49th and Hawthorne) has stepped up with its mighty TV screens and DIRECTV to host a public viewing of the show. While most folks at home with cable wont be able to watch it until 9, the magical (and surprisingly confusing) powers of DIRECTV allow the Tanker to play the show at 6, 8, and 10 pm. For the sake of not being too late or too early, 8 pm will be the official Project Runway partay, but it's good to know the bar's willing to flex around your schedule, no? Also: they will be providing noisemakers for you to bleep at the designs you love or hate (you decide the etiquette here), and there will be special drink specials for the PR crowd: Mojitos and Blackberry Presses are $4! See you there!
