From a new Pioneer Square business, Shotgun Ceremonies:

Latest news!

There’s an event planned by Diva Dollz (1st & Cherry) to celebrate their 4th year anniversary and to help promote local businesses, including ours – Shotgun Ceremonies (1st & Washington).

We hope as Pioneer Square business owners to help promote the neighborhood and will continue to plan and coordinate future themed events if the concept is favored.

Event details are listed below.

Cheers!

For everyone attending (and everyone is invited)

Here’s the updated schedule for our 2010 WWII Themed Bar-Hop! (Event in Pioneer Square) held on Wednesday, October 13th:

12:00 – 18:00 (That’s 12pm to 6pm for all you civilians out there!)

• Diva Dollz will be dressing people for the event all day. Anyone dressed in WWII Era Clothing will receive a free raffle ticket for a chance to win a vintage Czech Necklace and Earring Set from our shop and additional tickets for $1 each. We will be selling raffle tickets to those not dressed in 1940’s for $5 a piece and all proceeds will be going towards this year’s Burlycon Sponsorship! We want to see all the supporters of Burlycon and Seattle Burlesque buying a raffle ticket. Come cut loose before Burlycon and Halloween!
• We will also be handing out Champagne to those dressed up for this event and to all (+21) who get dressed at the shop so everyone can celebrate our 4th Year Anniversary!
• We want you all to help us reenact “The Kiss” at the end of WWII between a Sailor and a Nurse a little over 65 years ago! In hopes of doing this, Shotgun Ceremonies will be opening their doors to take photos of couples kissing in their shop at 206 1st Ave S. Photos will be an 8″x10″ (personalized with name, event, and date) and are $10 a piece for everyone dressed up and $15 for anyone who just wants to participate. It will be a great reminder of love and living life to it’s fullest!

18:00 – 19:00

• We encourage everyone to go to Marcela’s, Imo’s , New Orleans Café, or J&M Café to get something to eat and drink while we close up the shop and get ready for the evenings events.

– Sailor
– Nurse
– Military Wear
– Paper boy

– You can dress up like a 1940’s Musician (ie. Frank Sinatra or Andrew Sisters)
– Geisha

– KGB
