        Bergamot Station is a complex of galleries as well as a little cafe and Hiromi International Paper Store, one of the best paper stores I've ever seen!

Once a train depot for the now-defunct Red Line trolley, this warehouse complex houses more than 30 art galleries and the Santa Monica Museum of Art.

Jennifer works her magic!
__________________

I saw some of Jennifer Lynne's pieces at a recent Luggage Store trunk show and was excited to visit her Mission store. What a fun collection! From the sassy green frock featured in the center of the store (photo at right) to autumn-hued trousers and delicately designed tanks (also shown at right),and bouncing over to the bouyant wine bottle cork halter top, Jennifer has a delightful way of redefining everyday fashion sense. 

My visit found Jennifer busily at work creating a surplice wrap sweater dress. If you catch her at a slow time, she'll tailor her designs for you on the spot! 

Porcelynne opened in February of 2006 and Jennifer, who attended the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York and gave up the business for a couple years before committing to her design work, has recently left her day job to focus on her creations full-time. 

If you are in the mood for a wardrobe update and want to support a local designer while looking different-than-most, here's your place. Porcelynne also features the work of many local designers including Amy M. Cool's highly touchable recycled fabric handbags and jewelry by 19 Moons and Tessa Poppe. I'm going to have to go back for the earrings created with Lite-Brites (photo at right).

The most intriguing of Porcelynne's offerings is the "Panty-A-Month" club. You'll get a new pair of stinkies designed by Jennifer every month--imagine how fun it could be to get this monthly offering from a lover in the subsequent months after breaking up--the turmoil the poor chump would go through knowing that you'll be wearing the panties he bought you--he bought YOU--with your new lover. Oh, the possibilities!

Art work in the gallery rotates; the current show features work created on heat-sensitive fax paper with a soldering iron (shown at right). Check out Porcelynne's website for gallery show information. <br/>Tags: porcelynne, porcelynne boutique and gallery, mission, 14th street, san francisco, california, jennifer lynne, panty of the month club, handmade, diy, jewelry, clothing, lingerie, local, recycled, reconstructed, designers, fashion<br /><br /><a href="http://www.platial.com/post/112685">Map this on Platial</a><br />

<title>Hand-made House</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        There is a house that is very old and rickety with about 100 years of tinkering on it. It has been patched together and added onto so many times that it looks like a Seuss house.
Wander around 27th and Clinton until you find a gravel alley. From the alley you can see the house.<br/>Tags: house, adventure, handmade<br /><br /><a href="http://www.platial.com/post/1470124">Map this on Platial</a><br />

<title>Miranda Caroligne – A Living Construction Boutique</title>
<description>

Shhhhh! Miranda at work in her boutique. 
________________________
Miranda Caroligne is like a fairy's closet. A good fairy, one who would save Cinderella's neck with a last-minute ballgown, but it would be a ballgown that made a unique statement about wearable waste in addition to making a statement about the wearer. 

Filled with magical goodies, this store compels visitors to choose a talisman for their next journey and maybe a lucky hand-felted hat for a lover's birthday. 

In addition to representing Miranda C. Burns' work, Miranda Caroligne offers many area designers' one-of-a-kind pieces, original artwork, and jewelry. 

If one-of-a-kind neo-archaic creations make you shiver with delight you'd better meditate for a few days before entering. Miranda will design a special piece for and with you; if you're trying to figure out how the hell your mother's beloved wedding dress can be reconstructed to fit into your commitment ceremony you should schedule a visit.  

I found a most delightful curiousity whilst I was visiting with Miranda and urge you to do the same. Seek out the enchanting creatures therein before they amble away. If you ask nicely you might even get to peep at their accompanying storybooks.

"...biomechanical forms that arise from her public studio often compel the wearer to dance, play and behave fantastically."
