**A THAI HOOKER NAMED BO ALERTZ** Wow, the Upper East Side antics crashed right into 2009 last night. It’s been almost a month since we had our last fix of Gossip. There’s so much to get caught up on, so grab your hawt chocolate and claim a perch on Park Avenue ’cause the past is always right there, ready to eff up the present.

Okay, so I had this weird idea?? I was thinking about how much I wish we had some rad handmade valentines to feature online & in our new store. And then I thought, well, I know SO many supertalentented people I’ll just ask you all to make something special for us!

And then I thought, how AMAZING would it be if we could get lots of people to handmake one-of-a-kind valentines & then donate the proceeds from the sales of these valentines to a good cause? Sounds like fun, right? I do hope you’ll join me in getting crafty to benefit Elder Craftsmen, an organization based here in NYC that brings craft workshops to local senior citizens.

Pls allow me to outline how this is gonna work in three easy steps… Simple!

1) MAKE A VALENTINE
You can make it out of anything… Consdivuction paper, collage, paint, crayon, a print of a photo you took, write a poem, make a mix tape, whatever ya feel like! Just make it fun and from the heart and easy to send. Be sure to include a matching envelope. Have fun with that also!

2) SEND YOUR VALENTINE + ENVELOPE TO FF BEFORE JAN 15TH
Ya can just pop both in another envelope and send it regular mail to SNAIL MAIL VALENTINES c/o fredflare.com, 300F Kingsland Av, Brooklyn NY 11222. Hurry! Your valentine MUST be postmarked no later than Thurs, Jan 15th to participate. That’s only 10 days away. DON’T flake on me, peeps!

3) YOUR VALENTINE WILL DEBUT ON FF THE LAST WEEK OF JANUARY
All valentines will be sold online and in our new Brooklyn store for the super friendly price of ONLY $4 EACH and ALL the proceeds from the sales of these valentines will go directly to Elder Craftsmen! Our last charity event raised $5K. Can we beat it? With your amazing creation in the mix, I know we can!

We’ve never done ANYTHING like this before so I think it’s gonna be really fun and special. Hope you’ll participate! If you need any inspiration, defs check out our Valentine’s Day boutique! Lots of new things added, including these funny Cupid specs. I made a pair for CJ for the photo shoot and liked ‘em so much I decided to make a special batch just for you:) Pls stay tuned for updates on this project, ok? Super much love from everyone here at FF!
