Check out these lovely and stylish young things! I could probably tell you that these are the up and coming actors for an Oscar-nominated movie and you’d say “Oh yeah, I think I’ve seen them in People magazine…”

Of course you probably didn’t see them in People magazine because they aren’t actually famous and they are not casually waiting to be interviewed by Ryan Seacrest. In fact, the little that we do know about them we were only able to deduce through some fancy detective work (i.e. looking at the logo in the background of the photo and entering the name into Google.) As it turns out they were actually attending an event here in Denver called the the “Sneaker Prom” put on by Pulse Arts as a fundraiser. The idea was to dance the night away, but comfortably, while raising awareness about the power of art as a way to “end generational poverty.”

So what does this have to do with Common Era? Well, of course we are artsy types ourselves, but more importantly I would like to take this opportunity to direct your attention to the young lady on the left with the black strapless and the oh-so-chic headband. Not that the dress isn’t lovely, but that headband- what a statement! I imagine her gentleman friend spent the whole night begrudgingly holding her purse while she danced it up with every guy in the place. I mean, with such an obviously fashion forward sensibility she must have been the belle of the ball. I can only hope she told everyone who asked her where that hand-made head band came from- our one and only Common Era.

If you have any doubts whatsoever about the cutting-edge excellence of our hand-made headbands, please refer to another of our blog entries entitled “Don’t Fear the Headband.” You won’t be sorry.
