Get Naked, Win Clothes:
Annual, Co-Ed, Naked Shopping Spree at The Red Light

Portland, OR – The Red Light Clothing Exchange, Portland’s celebrated buy-sell-trade men’s and women’s fashion emporium, will host their popular, annual Co-Ed Naked Shopping Spree on Sunday, February 21. Four contestants (2 male, 2 female) will strip down to nothing at 5 pm, then have three minutes to run through the 7500 sq. ft. store – in front a cheering crowd — and put on as many clothes as possible. Whoever pulls on the most garments wins everything on their body plus a $100 Red Light gift card. (Prizes will also be given to first, second, and third runners up.)

All customers over 18 who spend $20 or more at The Red Light between now and Feb. 12 are eligible to enter the drawing to compete in the Shopping Spree. So far, more than 60 people are entered. According to General Manager Ryan White, “some people are shy, but this is Portland. A lot of people are excited about the opportunity to run around naked in public. And to win a lot of clothes.”

Live music by local bands kicks off the in-store event beginning at 2 pm, and door prizes will be awarded throughout the afternoon. The Naked Shopping Spree begins at 5 pm. The public is encouraged to come and watch the event in-store and cheer on the competitors; the last Naked Shopping Spree attracted over 100 onlookers. The Red Light anticipates a bigger audience this year because, according to White, public interest in the event is higher than ever. “People are coming in everyday and asking about it. People are looking for cheap ways to have fun, and that’s what our Naked Shopping Spree is. It’s also a very ‘local’, very Red Light thing – you’ll never see an event like this happening at a chain store like Forever 21.”

Started in 1999, The Red Light Clothing Exchange is one of Portland’s most prominent independent businesses. It has been featured in numerous national and international media; it was named by GQ as one of the 100 best independent shops in the country and dubbed by Lucky as their favorite shopping destination in the city.
