On Sunday evening, jaws dropped as attendees attempted to capture all that was happening on the second floor of the Ace Hotel in downtown Portland for Content 2009. 28 rooms were transformed into other worlds with added fashion flair by 38 independent clothing and accessory designers. No one expected to walk into a multiple-homicide murder scene (splattered blood and gag bags included,) or where a bathtub filled with goldfish accompanied one-of-a-kind locally designed dresses hung on the shower rod, or where a candle-lit room was taken over by a human-sized bird nest with a musical act performing at its core.
