SUPPORT PLANNED PARENTHOOD: PINK CARPET PROJECT
Seattle's Pink Carpet Project was first; a response to the news that
Susan G. Komen was going to cut funding to Planned Parenthood's
preventative clinical breast exams to uninsured women. Despite the
decision quickly being reversed, the Seattle fashion community was
inspired to come together to show support to Planned Parenthood
of the Great Northwest. Four weeks later with 14 designers, 60
models, 30 hairstylists & makeup artists, 40 volunteers, 10 perform-
ers, 45 sponsors and 200 attendees, Seattle came together to stand
with Planned Parenthood. Now, the Pink Carpet Project comes to
Portland. The show will present collections by both Seattle and Port-
land's top designers. Event proceeds will go to benefit Planned Par-
enthood Columbia Willamette.
Organizers rent public pools and offer up a focused
and intentional space where the natural diversity of
human bodies is respected. It can be daunting to put
on a suit and swim in public. But the ChunkyDunks
aren't going to let anything stop them, or you, from
enjoying a refreshing summer cool-down!
Chunky Dunks offer a safe and fun environment
to test the waters of your own empowerment and to
swim, lounge, splash! Their motto: Hot Sun. Cool
water. No shame.

hippies who are still recovering from the Oregon Vortex I of
1970 dance next to Log Cabin Republicans AND Packy the
Elephant?” Lauderdale says.
