This just in from the “OMG VAIN wins another award” department, VAIN has been named a winner of the Mayor’s Small Business Award for 2008. At an awards ceremony last week to honor this year’s recipients (the appetizers were delicious!), VAIN was able to share our support for small business, working class heroes, activists, artists, and the Seattle music community in particular. We were also thrilled to share the stage our with our deserving co-winners. They are:

• 8 Limbs Yoga Centers & Boutique
• Animal Critical Care & Emergency Services
• Arab Film Distribution / Typecast Films
• BabyLegs
• Compendium, Inc.
• glassybaby
• GP Institute of Cosmetology
• KOBO
• Macrina Bakery & Café

Each of these businesses is a great example of hard work, taking an idea and running with it, and the awesome power of being an active community member. Oh and being nice. Check them out if you haven’t; we know we will.

VAIN thanks YOU, our clients, for helping us run with our hair.shop.art.community idea since 1996. We’re winners thanks to you.
