Club Lip-Sync Photos

We had an outrageously fun time last night with Ian Svenonius and his Club Lip-Sync. The music was superb but the pantomiming brought the acts to another level.  The shop went dark, illuminated only by dots from our vintage disco ball and diy gel’ed lights but Matt Dunn from Washington City Paper captured some magical shots. Thanks to all of the artists and crowd who came out! 2013_FEB_CLS 2013_FEB_CLS_2 2013_FEB_CLS_42013_FEB_CLS_3

Contest: Meeps Brings the Beats…Again!

Didn’t get a chance to win tickets to Toro Y Moi or Bebel Gilberto? Not to worry. We’re back at it again!

This month, with some help from our friends at the 9:30 Club, we’ve got exclusive tix for you to groove with D.C.  legends in the D.C. Funk Punk Throwback Jam (featuring sets from Trouble Funk, Shady Groove, DJ Kool, Junk Yard+++) on February 24th AND with super-rapper/actor/singer/ activist Mos Def on March 2nd.
The rules are the same. To be entered in a drawing to win the concert tickets, you’ll have to use your fashion throwback knowledge. First, follow us on Instagram and Twitter, then like us on Facebook. Tomorrow, we’ll post photos of two vintage pieces from our store on our social media sites, and you’ll have to guess what decades they’re from. Tweet us your guess or post it in the comments section along with your email address. We’ll announce the winners on our blog the following day.
Good Luck!

MEEPS’ COSMIC COSTUME ROOM DEBUTS!

MEEPS just completed its metamorphosis and welcomes DC into the loving arms of its newly unveiled Cosmic Costume Room. Check out this Washingtonian blog on the costume room–and see what costumes the writers put together on their first visit.

With men’s, women’s, and kids’ vintage costumes, this curious cross between a futuristic boudoir and the coat check at Studio 54 is sure to satiate the needs of any partygoer. Complete with wigs, masks and feather boas for all occasions, the room opens just in time for all your Halloween and fabulous pageantry needs. Celebrate the Summer of ‘69, rock out in Gangnam style, or pay homage to ‘80s glamour with pieces from the year-round Cosmic Costume Room.

MEEPS also invites the public to see the new Halloween storefront window, erected in partnership with Professor Mikki Taylor of Howard University’s Visual Merchandising students, who designed and brought to life a vision of bubble, bubble, toil and trouble.

Please join us October 16 for an evening of Dia de los Muertos-themed libation and celebration as we celebrate our Cosmic Costume Room in style.

Meeps’ Cosmic Costume Room Celebration
Tuesday, October 16
5-9:00 pm

Featuring music from DJs C-Rob & Mondo (Vitamin C, Future Times Records)
Refreshments provided by Mama Chuy DC and Nothing-in-the-House Baking Co.
