You sound interested - great! It's more fun than a Jell-O Mold!

First things first: You need to be on the mailing list. To do this, send an e-mail to swapme@pdxpetite.com; include your name and e-mail address. OK, you can do that right now. We'll wait. Don't have regular e-mail access? You can pick up a flyer the People's Food Co-op (click HERE for directions & info).

Done? Wonderful! On to the next step.

Once you're on the list, you'll receive notification about the next clothing swap via e-mail. You might receive a welcome message - that kind of depends on how swamped we are. If you're not sure we got your message, you can always send a follow-up!

Once you receive notification about the next clothing swap, we ask only one thing: please, please, please RSVP! This helps us know how many to expect, and if we'll have enough room. Once we have enough RSVP's, that swap will be closed - but you're welcome to attend the next swap! The number of attendees for each swap will depend on the location of the swap.

So, you got your invitation, cleaned out your closet (check the WHAT page for details on what to bring) and it's the big day. Are you ready? Of course you are!

Here's how it works:

We bring our clothes to the locale, dump 'em in a big pile in the middle of the floor, sit in a circle around the pile, and have at it. (This is also why we keep the number of attendees small!) You see something you like, you grab it and start a pile of clothes to try on.

Oh yeah, trying clothes on. This is not a "naked lady party." There is a restroom but really, how fun is trying on clothes in a toilet stall? Instead, we wear spandexy-type under-outfits (think form-fitting clothes worn under regular clothes) and try the clothes on right there. Whatever doesn't work goes back in the pile for someone else to try on!

There's never any squabbling or fighting (you are far too groovy for that) - there are enough clothes for everyone! See, this is one happening swap - and you can be part of it!
