A funny thing happened on the way to shoot our Neat Street Sunday style feature yesterday: In spite of what you may think, the gal we captured rockin’ baggy drop-crotch jeans was not the most controversial fashion statement on Portland streets. To the contrary, we found a huge crowd of gnomes, Oompah Loompahs, ’80s skiers, polygamists [...]
