Need a schmancy gown, new jeans, and a slick pair of shades, but don't wanna drive all over town? Overhaul your wardrobe in one fell swoop at Clothing Swap's Diva Eve event tomorrow night. Throw your gently worn, closet-hogging clothes in a bag, and trade for stuff - as little or as much as you want - you'll actually wear. Sugar Café will provide the nosh and the booze (try the Pepper Basil Caipirinha - but go easy lest you come home with a set of parachute pants) while you queue up early to avoid lines for complimentary blow-outs, makeovers, and massages. You'll be keeping good threads out of landfills and new materials out of production. How convenient.

Wanna Try: 

Diva Eve Clothing Swap; Jun. 17, 7-10 p.m.; 679 Sutter St. b/t Taylor and Mason Sts. Tickets, $20/advance (by tonight at midnight); if space remains, $30/at the door.

Cocktail Fact

Women wear 20% of their clothing 80% of the time.

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 SF Biters swap one item of clothing per month instead of tossing it, in a year we'll keep the weight of seven Muni buses in textile waste out of landfills.
