skinnyskinny at the Veggie Pride Parade

Wednesday, May 26th, 2010

Posted by: Stephanie

All of the ladies here at skinnyskinny pride ourselves on being vegetarians, so it only made sense for us to participate in New York City’s very own Veggie Pride Parade that took place May 16th. We came armed with tons of free yummy soap samples and lip balms and marched with our fellow non-meat eaters through the streets of Manhattan. I was able to capture some great photos from the event, and wanted to share them with you all. Hope you enjoy!

The mascots of the event, Chris P. Carrot and Penelo Pea Pod. Their chant: “eat your veggies, not your friends!”

Claire and myself with our new veggie friends. You may recognize us as the gals shouting “FREE LIP BALM!” on the corner of North 7th and Bedford here in Brooklyn.

Every year the Veggie Pride Parade hosts a “Best Costume Contest”. Here we are with our favorite bunch of fruits and veggies. Thumbs-up for their new skinnyskinny soap samples!

Don’t have a cow. Literally. Did you know that meat production is the largest contributor to global warming? Lame!

This woman was a barrel of sunshine. We loved her chicken costume, and her sign of course!

We had a fabulous time at the parade and can’t wait for next year. Special shout out to all of our new friends, we hope to see you at the store soon!

Mothers Day at skinnyskinny, May 9th

Saturday, May 8th, 2010

After everything that we have put our mothers through, after everything that our mothers have put us through…well, I cant decide with which one to start. Both are equally valid statements and I bet if we took a vote we would have to have a tie breaker. Needless to say, none of us would be here if it weren’t for these magical beings that we call mothers. Because of this, skinnyskinny is handing out cupcakes to all of the wonderful mothers who stop in our Brooklyn shop tomorrow. Baked by Clara herself. While supplies last of course.

So here is an idea, take your mom to breakfast or lunch, stroll on over to skinnyskinny, buy her some well deserved organic bath and body goodies, let her enjoy our wonderful products AND some cupcakes. There you go! I’ve planned your day, no more stressing out about mothers day gift giving.  Time is better spent with your mom than at the local drug store trying to decide which mass produced, overpriced card is best.

Pssst…we also have handmade cards.  More on that later.

skinnyskinny is located at : 129b Roebling St., Brooklyn, NY
