Pro-Choice/Pro-Fashion, a fashion show to raise money and awareness for pro-choice organizations, will have its second edition (remix!) on Saturday, August 19 at 7 p.m. in the outgoing location of Columbia, MO's Maude Vintage, 801 N. Broadway.
The show will feature local designers and their fashions as well as some marvelous tunes brought by a fantabulous DJ. In addition, there's a lot of good loot to buy, and all the proceeds go to the Feminist Majority Foundation’s National Clinic Access Project, and Planned Parenthood’s Women in Need Fund.
Feministing, along with a whole lotta cool ass people and companies, is supporting this event with donations and love. Featured here are examples of stuff from people that embody "pro-choice/pro-fashion" (but these, along with Devendra, aren't necessarily going to be at the show). Contact Meredith Fraser if you want to help by donating money, goods or advice. Also, if you're anywhere near Columbia, MO, you should think about coming to the show. After the jump, peep the links to all the places that have supported the show this year.
Big ups to Elizabeth Pickens, Meredith Fraser, Jillian Markwith and Aaron Richter, who are largely responsible for all the lovelies available for the show, along with countless others.

Have any of you all heard about "Burlesque for Choice?" It was held in Williamsburg, Bklyn a few months ago and raised a question I often ask myself: can naked chicks promote a feminist agenda? Curious what any of you think...
