People call the store all the time thinking we're something other than a retail store. One time a lady thought we were a night club. This just happened...
"Hello, 20twenty."
"Hey. So, are you guys a tax resolution company?"
"No, sorry, we're a vintage clothing store."
"Ok thanks bye."
"Bye."
Spread the word. We're a vintage clothing store.

The Woven bag!
Ok, these bags are rad. They can be used as a large as a purse. Or can be used as your own bag at the grocery store. The woven bag is durable so it can be filled with books and taken to class. A bigger woven can be hauled to the laundry mat (with your dirty laundry in it. Obviously). What we're trying to say here, is the list of stuff this bag can help you do in style is endless.
Want to know what's even better? 99% of these bags are gender neutral so they can be carried by a Jack or a Jane.
We have the bags in stock now, and will continue to provide them whenever possible. Come get one and put a kitten in it!

20twenty’s All-Women Fall Show
Saturday, October 9th 2010 7pm
The fine folks over at 20twenty want you to come help us celebrate our first time
hosting an all-women’s art opening! This show combines seven incredible local
female artists in one great big super-show. All of these ladies work in mediums
across the board, but share one thing in common: They continuously inspire and
never cease to amaze, in their craft, talent, styles, attitudes and life views. We
are excited to show some of the most beautiful fiber art, soft sculpture, paintings
and collages we’ve ever seen. And lucky us! The wonderful Shana Cleveland of
The Curious Mystery will be playing some special tunes towards the end of the
night!
So, come on down folks! Saturday October 9th, 7p! Help us celebrate what the
ladies of Seattle are creating! Get inspired, make some new friends and be
merry. Fall, let’s do this.
LUCY BRENNAN
Lucy Brennan's soft sculptures, illustrations, books, and wearables often relate
to the body, family, songs, stories, and snacks. Her art objects and playthings
celebrate pattern, color, texture, and form using materials including felt, magic
marker, embroidery floss, watercolor, and found fabrics.

SHANA CLEVELAND
Shana Cleveland enjoys the beach year-round
http://www.thecuriousmystery.com/
Nichole Rathburn makes work with the urge to encourage empathy; to put in
physical form the feelings and sensation of what even the smallest moment of
understanding between human beings can be. Not to cheapen them, but in the
hope that a physical touch can resonate emotionally within the viewer and spread
to the actions in their life, adding bit by bit to the world those moments that drive
the human race forward.
(Please touch the art.)
JESS REES
"Looking towards the future, I see an eerie ambiguity as to what will become
of the the natural state of the planet. This has caused me to look at natural forms
and patterns with a complexion more curious than ever before. Through my
works, I want to pass along my fascination and confront the waning stewardship
for our environment.
The role I play is of the scientist, discovering the undiscoverable. The
works I create are perhaps a reflection of changes to come to the fragile state of
nature, and are intended to be both contemplative and playfully imaginative"
http://www.jessrees.com
MADELENA ROMANSIC
"I was born and raised in Seattle. As long as I have been alive, I have loved
the process of creating—be it with cardboard, colored
pencil, or yarn. Art for me is more like an uncontrollable bodily
function than a form of communication, as indicated by the constant
state of disaster in my room.
After attending college at both California College of the Arts and
Seattle Central Community College, I graduated from the University of
Washington with a bachelor of arts in math. This, like many of my
other endeavors, was an idea conceptualized and brought to fruition by
sheer curiosity.
I’m into art as a way of getting the things in my head to exist in
3-space— much like those cool 3-D printers. I like making wearable
art because I like the thought of the things I make going out and
having a life of their own out in the world."
STACEY ROZICH
Stacey Rozich is a native to the Pacific Northwest region of the United
States. She attended California College of the Arts in San Francisco where she
studied illustration, and now attends Seattle Central for graphic design.
Combining what she learned in school and her years of drawing from her over-
active imagination, Stacey has created a storybook narrative of beasts and
patterns all playing into a world of cultural folktales.

KENDAL TULL-ESTERBROOK
Kendal Tull-Esterbrook is a Seattle based illustrator and storyteller who's
focus is on hand-rendering eerie, meticulous works which breathe new
appreciation into common forms as well as pay homage to anatomical
frameworks that would otherwise spend their living existence in pitch dark.

WHEN: October 8, 2010
5:00-10:00
WHERE: 20twenty (duh)

WHY: We all have records that we don't listen to. This could be for various reasons. Here are

Down"when in fact you read the title wrong and you bought "Truly: The Love Songs."
Maybe you thought you like Reggae more than you actually do. In any case, there is
definitely someone out there that can, and will appreciate your neglected vinyl. Come
swap them for free!

Baby Clothes!
Did you know that we carry new and vintage childrens clothing?
Because we do!
By the way, this image was taken from http://www.holwick.com/church/Ledgewood_historical_photos/history_photos.html
An awesome collection of vintage photos from a church in New Jersey. I was temped to post one of an adult wheeling a child down the street in a cardboard coffin but thought it might be too "morbid" for "some people."

It's still August!
Yes, it might be time to start thinking about new fall clothes. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't squeeze everything we can out of the last week of August.
We still have bathing suits and tank tops in stock!

The Bolo Tie.
We have several different Bolo Ties in stock at 20twenty right now in various styles. Come check them out. For those of you who are not familiar with the tie, here you go...
"A bolo tie (sometimes bola tie or shoestring necktie) is a type of necktie consisting of a piece of cord or braided leather with decorative metal tips or aglets (aiguillettes) secured with an ornamental clasp or slide...The bolo tie was made the official neckwear of Arizona in 1971. New Mexico passed a non-binding measure to designate the bolo as the state's official neckwear in 1987. On March 13, 2007, New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson signed into law that the bolo tie is now the state's official tie..."
Maybe you're the kind of person who has to see it in action. Well, here are three great examples of super cool ways yo wear a Bolo Tie.
Colorado Senator Ken Salazar shows us that a Bolo Tie is appropriate for any occasion.
http://breadline.wordpress.com/category/politics/hillary-clinton/
Bruce Springsteen is a great example of the evolution of the Bolo Tie. They aren't just for cowboys anymore!
http://www.uulyrics.com/music/bruce-springsteen/album-tunnel-of-love/
Michael Michaels is a shining example of how a Bolo Tie can bring a smile to anyone's face.

There you have it! Come get a Bolo Tie and wear it loud and proud!
