So you follow them on Twitter because it would be too obvious to friend them on Facebook. Well, now you have more of a reason to stalk your favorite San Francisco creatives, and the end of the rainbow leads to free shades and a party.
Hayes Valley boutique, Acrimony, will be kicking off Super in the City, an all-out scavenger hunt, on September 1. They’ve pooled together 40 of San Francisco’s local celebrities to each wear a pair of Italy’s trendy SUPER sunglasses throughout this (hopefully) sunny September. The innovative icons — including SelfEdge’s Kiya Babzani, Thrillist’s Nick Elliott, and BlowUp’s Ava Berlin — will be posting clues to their whereabouts on Acrimony’s Twitter (ShopAcrimony). Get yourself to the hot spot on time and you win the SUPERs!
The sunglasses are much more than sunglasses, though, of course. First off, they’re worn by the likes of KanYe West, Gwen Stefani, and the Kills. Second, and probably more importantly because who cares what everyone else is wearing, they’re your ticket into an exclusive party hosted by Acrimony, Vice, and SUPER. Exact time and location are confidential. Obviously.
So there you have it. Follow the Twitter and take the shades off of someone’s face. Consider it having your cake and eating it, too, since your current pair of sunglasses probably didn’t earn you enough street credit to get past any velvet ropes previously.
Super in the City. Scavenger hunt. Twitter. SUPERs. Golden ticket. I hope they play R. Kelly’s “Superman High.”
