Heres a cool email we got about an upcoming contest where you can win a free trip to Seattle.

Hello Threadbanger Folks!

I work with Savers/Value Village thrift store chain (200+ stores) and am loving your site! I wanted to pass along some information on a cool campaign we’re in the midst of, as your audience may be interested in it as an opportunity to showcase their talent and unique style.We are seeking fashion-forward teens (application deadline is June 25) to be a part of our second annual “ReDesigner” board – it’s a chance to shop, style, star in fashion shoots, and gain hands-on fashion industry experience. Open to US and Canadian residents, we select six ReDesigners to serve as teen fashion consultants for the company to showcase their “remixed” styles that can be achieved by shopping thrift. The really fun part – we kick off the campaign by brining all the ReDesigners to Seattle (our headquarters) for an all-expense paid week long fashion-filled trip. While in Seattle, we visit many thrift shops for a crazy shopping spree, and then spend the next few days creating/recreating looks for a photo shoot – sewing machines, hot glue guns, clothing everywhere – very chaotic.We had an amazingly stylish and talented group last year, and you can read about their Seattle trip at their MySpace blog:
