The "Save Fashion" Pop-Up Shop @ NYC's Notorious Port Authority Bus Terminal Opens Tommorrow AKA Heroin Chic Shopping Is Here.


"Video: Port Authority’s ‘Save Fashion’ Pop-up Has Some Seriously Amazing Deals
4/30/09 at 3:55 PM

We admit we scoffed at the idea of a fashion pop-up coming to Port Authority, because Port Authority is such an unpleasant place to spend time. However New York's beauty and market editor Aja Mangum got a sneak peek at the pop-up's offerings, and they look so amazing we'd swim to a barge in the East River to shop them. Okay, we wouldn't swim, but we would kayak! A Lyn Devon dress that was $1,325 is now $129.90. A Charlotte Ronson top that was $283 is now $50. And amazing Alejandro Ingelmo platforms are only $100. The sale starts tomorrow at 11 a.m. at, yes, Port Authority. Watch the video to see more."

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: The world famous inscription @ the foot of The Statue of Liberty as lifted from the classic Emma Lazarus sonnet "The New Colossus" has welcomed immigrants and visitors to this land of ours for well over a century. If that great bronze plaque reads, in part, "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free", I have long wondered why nobody ever installed a tin plaque display saying something like, "Give us your predatory pimps and your naive runaways" somewhere inside of the Port Authority Bus Terminal.

This Forty-Deuce landmark and former cathedral for innocent transients and hookers alike is 1 of the few remaining bastions of my beloved Old New York. Once surrounded by all kinds of peep shows, XXX video stores, questionable local bars and 1 particular Burger King that dubiously doubled as the hangout for all dope fiends in the know, the neighborhood has traded it's character for a pair of Mickey Mouse Disney® brand ears and bright corporate financed lights. No bueno.

Anyway, while I've seen a lot of things happen @ the Port Authority Bus Terminal, I never thought that I'd see the day when this derelict depot would house a high fashion rotating designer boutique-style pop-up shop. Opening it's doors to the public starting @ 11 AM, May 1, the Refinery 29 produced "Save Fashion" pop-up shop is on deck with some ridiculous sales for all of my recessionistas.

As usual, I have to wonder what they have in stock for a nigga like me, but, I wouldn't mind taking a trip to the "Deuce" to find out and do some people watching while I'm there. Hey, I might just thug out some fly heiress trying to get her "Downtown" slum on and score myself a golden-haired ticket ... lol. Let's get it.
