First Thursday Art in the Pearl for March brings new art to us and our neighbors!  Popina will be hosting our Pearl District First Thursday Travel Series. The Popina Swimwear address in the Pearl District is at 318 NW 11th Ave.  Our First Thursday Travel Series will feature BootnAll Travel Experts who will lead an interactive discussion on Kona, Hawaii!

Free Kona Beer - try the new seasonal Koko Brown!
Drawing for two great prizes a travel bag from Ellington valued at $100 and a $75 Alaska Airlines Travel Voucher!

Other First Thursday events happening at our neighbors include Mabel & Zora who will be hosting Evoke, the latest in boudoir photography with an awesome display of their artwork using a projector in their shop, (something Tiffany has always wanted to do!)  Mabel & Zora will also be offering 15% off all dresses for the evening and will have plenty of champagne on hand to sip while picturing yourself in your own boudoir photography session!

Solestruck will host a Trunk show along with 20% off full price shoes and a photographer on hand to take photos of your shoes to enter a contest worth $200 in shoes at Solestruck! (I will be sneaking over to this for sure!)

Ecovibe at 921 NW Everett will have a trunk show with Amy Burgess jewelry and all our favorite: Cupcake Jones!!!Cloud 7 Cafe across the park from us will have photographer Nicolas R Lewis on hand to meet.

Power of the Purse will be hosting their first ever boutique night at Pure Space, 1315 NW Overton, where the general public will get a sneak peek at celebrity designed purses and have the chance to shop more than 40 of Portland’s trendiest boutiques (including Mabel and Zora) all in one location—25 percent of all proceeds will go to Girls Inc!

We hope to see you in the Pearl District for First Thursday, March 3rd!

Every First Thursday Popina Pearl will host a travel series with the travel experts from BootsnAll.com — your one-stop independent travel guide, and our friends from Kona Brewing and Alaska Airlines from 6-8pm.  Popina ladies love to travel so we thought why not develop a forum to hang out with fellow Portland travelers to talk about travel, chat with experts, drink some Kona Beer and have a chance to win fabulous prizes!

For First Thursday March 3, 2011 BootsnAll will be speaking about Kona, Hawaii!

Come find out 10 things you should know about Kona, chat travel, enjoy a free beer from Kona Brewing, and enter to win for a chance to win one of two great prizes: a $75 travel voucher from Alaska Airlines or a travel bag valued at $100 from Ellington Handbags!

Be the first to try Kona Brewing’s new seasonal Koko Brown.  Dave Knows PDX reviewed the beer saying “Koko Brown is made with toasted coconut, which was smooth and roasty. A little sweet, it finishes relatively dry, and the toasted coconut is pleasant, not overbearing.”  Sounds tasty, can’t wait to try one myself.

So come out to Popina’s new location in the Pearl on Thursday, March 3 to chat travel with the BootsnAll Travel crew, plan your next getaway with Popina’s retro-inspired swimwear, and grab some “liquid Aloha” courtesy of Kona Brewing Co. Aloha!
