Willing to sing a Rolling Stones or Beatles tune? Ten percent off. Want to embarrass yourself by belting out at least 30 seconds of any number from the Julie Andrews classic Sound of Music or West Side Story? Your embarrassment is worth 15 percent off anything in the store. Still have your pride?

Forever in Blue Jeans
[JEANS] Nolita wants your old jeans. For reals.

Cover Your Tender Parts
[BOOKS, CLOTHES, MUSIC, ETC.] Tender Loving Empire may be barely bigger than a walk-in closet, but it's also one of our favorite places to pick up local zines, hand-screened T-shirts and various hand-stitched sundries. So wearing your underwear on the outside of your clothes and singing Michael Jackson's "Beat It" or "Bad" (your choice) seems a small price to pay to get a 20 percent discount on anything in the store. We gotta show how funky-strong our fight is, after all. Tender Loving Empire, 1720 NW Lovejoy St., Suite 109, 243-5859.
