Recycled Fashion Show at Portland Airport: Junk To Funk
Do you like this story?
The Pacific Northwest has given us many gifts—everything from Starbucks to Project Runway: Season 5 Winner and fashion design college Alumna Leanne Marshall. Another thing they're known for? Recycling. (Ever been to McMenamins? They recycled an old school into a hotel!)
Raising awareness about the amount of trash we generate is a huge deal and right now there is an amazing fashion display at the Portland Airport bringing this point home. It's called "Junk To Funk." I recently passed through PDX and wanted to share this display with you. Fantasticly "trashy" couture!

Be confident which you have by no means had any regrets within your lifestyle which only lasts for any handful of decades. Chuckle or cry as you like, and it is meaningless to oppress your self.
