The Early Show
04/29/2008 Team Pink is in Greensburg, KS with the CBS Early Show! We are helping with the wardrobe of their guests but more importantly learning how the country has wrapped their arms around this town that was demolished by a tornado one year ago. Greensburg is on the mend and they're "Going Green." Many of the homes and businesses that are being rebuilt are ECO-Friendly as well is the new playground for the children of Greensburg. Pink Saloon will be there all week and looking forward to the progress of this spirited town! (And the REO Speedwagon concert Friday morning).
04/14/2008 CHANEL
We received a new mannequin today. Named her Chanel. Not much of a talker but sure does look good in the clothes!We dressed her in a Miss Me Couture dress and Ed Hardy trucker cap. I think she likes it! Have a fabulous day!

Denim Therapy
How to Care for Your Jeans
Get a little dirty—If you’ve bought a pair of stiff, dark raw-denim jeans, wear them for as long as possible between washes. The way you walk, sit, and the shape of your body will break them in, and the longer you go without laundering them, the more comfortable they will become. True denim connoisseurs will go for months—though they’re mostly men.
Keep them snug—Stretch jeans need to be washed more often. Most women’s jeans have two to four percent stretch and loosen up after a few hours of wear. If you like your jeans tight and wear them a lot, then you’ll need to wash them at least once a week to get them back to that original snug fit.
Be Protective—Always turn your jeans inside out when you wash them to protect the color. Use a regular liquid detergent and set the water temperature to no higher than warm. Allow raw denim or any jeans that you wear loose to air-dry. For stretch denim that needs to shrink back to size, tumble dry at high heat for about 40 minutes. Keep in mind that this drying cycle will eventually reduce the elasticity in the fabric, so if you’ve had them for a while, air-dry them most of the way and then give them a quick blast in a high-heat dryer for 10 to 15 minutes.
Hang Out—Once they’re dry, you can hang your jeans, which helps mimic they’re natural shape when worn. You can use a belt loop at the back of the waist-band to hang them. Also, you can fold them—and lots of people do—but that causes creases.
Patch things up—If you find a tiny hole in your favorite pair of jeans, don’t wait until it turns into a visible tear (unless that’s your look). Buy a heat transfer patch from a fabric store and iron it onto the underside of the tear to prevent further damage. I’d also suggest hand-washing the garment from there on out; a machine cycle may exacerbate the problem.
We hope this helps any denim debacles you may have and look forward to serving your denim desires!
Much Love,

Our first Official Entry
March 24, 2008
Welcome to the official blog of Pink Saloon. We are a clothing boutique and we are all about about funk, fashion, and flair. Check us out at www.pinksaloon.com
We are a "down home" type of store, if you will. We don't ever want to sell you something that you don't feel absolutely comfortable in. Just because Nicole Richie or Paris Hilton was seen wearing it, doesn't mean you have to. Our "fans" are not celebrities, but rather everyday women like us! Women who love fashion and more importantly, love the ability to toss on a new shirt, their favorite pair of denim jeans, and LIVE...we mean, really LIVE your everyday life. And to feel absolutely comfortable and fabulous at the same time.
Check us out, email us with any questions, and we hope you just may have found your new favorite online boutique!
Thanks from your friends at Pink Saloon.
