Pregnancy Reaps What it Doesn’t Sow!

Friday, February 27th, 2009

Our very own Nicole, along with her talented husband Ryan, enjoyed the brief but extremely hip spotlight of the American Apparel blog recently! Showcasing the brands wonderfully pregnant-friendly attire along with brief (but cute!) commentary on the progress of their soon-to-be-a-new-member-of-the-extended-Alchemy-family child. The sex of the baby is yet unknown, even to the parents! Such an exciting adventure, this thing called life. And to be a part of the very manifestation thereof… Scintillating! Until next time, my fiendish followers. Adieu!

No Life ’til Leather!

Monday, February 23rd, 2009

With the departure of If You Nasty Vintage Alchemy had lost a small part of something awesome and special in terms of local fashion and style driving. But fear not! The day has been saved in the form of ultimate buh-dassity. Say hello to Imperial Wolf Leather! Amazing, often custom leather goods. All 100% hand made from the cow up, by our very own man of men, Mr. Seth Daniels. Stop by Alchemy and check out some of the goods or go to ImperialWolf.com to peep even more. Hope you’re all slayin’ buttocks out there in O-town!

Alchemy Joins the Ranks of Orlando’s Top Dive Bars!

With the emotional departure of our beloved Kristin, along with her infamous clothing line ‘If You Nasty’, not only were we here at Alchemy left with a void in our hearts, but also in the once-glamorously-occupied back corner of the salon! All that remained were a few wonky pipes poking out of the wall and soft, never ending sigh. But now, change has come. In the form of everyone’s favorite drunken, memory-making pastime…

I PRESENT TO YOU THE ALCHEMY PHOTO BOOTH!!!

How awesome is that?! Now you and all your friends can come and get your hair on, have some booze and take some fun, possibly sexy before and after shots!

But this new nugget of fun didn’t come without a hitch… Literally.

As the Photo Booth was making it’s grand entrance into the Alchemy parking lot the driver’s van inadvertantly snagged and thus shredded ALL the phone lines of Alchemy! In short, no phones, no internet, and no credit card sales… Wahoo.

Not to be outdone by the unwavering hand of god, Peter, manager extraordinaire came to the rescue. The solution: A Virgin Mobile prepaid cell phone! All the calls (and believe me there are A TON) for the day were forwarded to this one cell phone. At least until the phone lines were fixed, which only amounted to about a day’s wait. But with the mere 4 hilariously urban ringtone choices, the calamity made for some good entertainment. Let’s see how Dennis handled the dilemma…

Indeed cell phones can be very frustrating. But it was all in good fun and we came out on top with a new set of phone wires and a sweet ass photo booth. Come take some pics with us! We’ll put ‘em on the wall of photo booth fame!

Amor,

Alchemy
