      <title>Vive le Tour!</title>

      <description><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://staging.whimsyboutique.com/images/uploads/tdf-logo-large.gif" style="border: 0;" alt="image" width="166" height="140" />The Tour de France will be coming to an end on Sunday, after a HUGE time trial on Saturday. This is one of the most exciting Tours since the days of Jan and Lance.
<br />
Do you remember that? When Jan was all, &#8220;I am totally going to whoop you this year.&#8221;
<br />
And Lance was all, &#8220;Oh, okay, really? Huh. That&#8217;s funny, because BAM. I just won. <i>Again</i>. So what&#8217;s up.&#8221;
<br />
And that went on for, oh, SEVEN WHOLE YEARS. And then? In 2006, when it was finally Jan&#8217;s time to clean house, after Lance retired? Dude got busted for doping. DRAMA.
</p>
<p>
Okay, so we&#8217;ve got these Modern Amusement swim/board shorts with bicycles on one side and stripes on the other. Yes--that&#8217;s right. They&#8217;re reversible. Which is just about the most brilliant thing ever, right? Why aren&#8217;t all swimsuits reversible? I can&#8217;t say for certain, but I&#8217;m pretty sure that if everyone owned a reversible swimsuit, we&#8217;d be just about *that* much closer to world peace.
</p>
<p>
Come in this weekend and tell me who you think will take the yellow jersey, and we&#8217;ll give you <u><b>20% your entire purchase</b></u>. For reals. Because I would love for cycling to gain a bigger following in the States, and I am not at all above bribery.

Our computer crashed today, so we have no way to ring up any sales! We&#8217;re very sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. We hope to have everything back up and running by Friday afternoon (July 18th).

We&#8217;ll have lots of items on sale, and we&#8217;ll have all kinds of new stuff out on the floor. We&#8217;ll also have a drawing for a $250 gift certificate valid at either store (or both!).

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Happy midsummer! To celebrate the longest day of the year, we&#8217;ll be bringing out new things all weekend and marking down the old.
</p>
<p>
In Portugal, people bang their neighbors on the head with whole flowering garlic plants for good luck on this day. They also build bonfires and have a contest to see who can jump over it safely. Sadly, Whimsy and Reason will have no bonfire. But we WILL have a little sale, to celebrate. <b>Mention the blog and receive an extra 10% off anything in the store!</b>
