PortaPocket Notebook

After this summer's shooting-in-the-parking-lot incident at Great America in Gurnee, IL it seems corporate Six Flags has now decided to implement a new safety policy that has guests griping.

From this point forward (as I understand it, this goes beyond Fright Fest & Halloween events), no guest can bring in any bag that is larger than 12" x 12" x 6" in size. With the only exceptions allowed for medical reasons, or diaper bags brought in w/an infant or young child.

Though these changes are mainly done in the name of guest safety, some folks have a difficult time absorbing anything different to the way they go about their business. So if you pay attention, you'll notice they may end up venting their frustrations on line. Some are cited in this article:

Other parks beyond Six Flags are of like mind, too. For instance, Elitch Gardens in Denver has posted this: 

*UPDATED* Fright Fest Bag Policy

Only bags, including purses, backpacks and fanny packs within the dimensions of 8″ x 5″ x 2″ are permitted as well as medical or diaper bags (child must be present). All bags are subject to be searched prior to entry.

While limiting a guest's options, the good news is we're here with simple solutions to help you enjoy your day with less hassle. Our PortaPocket wearables are all compliant with these new parameters and hence will be allowable to use.

See?

Good fun to you, and a happy Halloween too!

It's almost that time again for some Fall fun.
Halloween's coming!
So what are your plans?

Any parties?

Haunted houses?

Scary movies?

Pumpkin fests?

So many good things...never enough time. ;)

Though one thing to put on your 'to do' list now is to get organized before the big day. You don't want to end up with an awesome outfit, but a major disconnect with having nowhere to effectively carry your cellphone & ID/cards while you're out & about. Why not simply make your life easier and wear what you need.

Did you run into a problem because you had no functional pockets in your costume this year?  Sometimes folks don't think of this issue until they're in the thick of it (again ;)...

Next time you have to get into a getup, why not get up and try a better way...
try PortaPocket today.
(and help yourself!)

or...should we say HOWLeen (as some people may do when they find they have nowhere to put their cell)..? lol

Stop the madness!

We're always ready for your costume..or anime outfit ...or any other pocket challenged ensemble you decide to wear.  Don't be a fashion slave. Put those pockets on yourSELF (literally ;) 

Love,

BOO!!

So maybe you heard Kelly Ripa from LIVE with Kelly and Michael talk about money all covered with boob sweat, or Tyra Banks of The Fab Life dishing about all those germs that are on your purse...

So many creepy crawly things out there that can give you pause...

at least minimization of these problems is possible.  thankfully!! 

No bones about it. ;)

Ah yes.... what's old is new again, including that ole mainstay from the 80's. Have you seen these A listers rocking the fanny pack lately? Boldly. Proudly. With no shame. I say power to them! Who says function can't be fashionable, and these two stud muffins certainly have their share of appeal, no matter WHAT they've wearing ;)  Well...

how about you? Are your sporting one of these vintage gems? We totally get it...they're uber handy and let you walk around without having to drag a bag. But, hmmm... why not move on over to the 21st century, sweethearts, and rock something that's a little more au courant?  PortaPocket will give you a more versatile way to keep your goodies where they're good, and the option to swap out pocket styles to suit your mood.

That's it. Do you hear that, Jared and Matthew?
We've got some little beauties here with your names all over 'em.

Coming at ya!

Now that Halloween is just around the corner, the thought of how you're going to carry your cell phone, ID and keys+ to the party may be inciting some frightening ideas...

stick it in the ole underwear? 
how about that waistband trick?
inside the boot?  ...or in the bra?

no. no. no and no
Don't let those things happen to you...
PortaPocket to the rescue! 

Here's your costume fashion fix.
