A Tale of Two Pirates



It was just a few short weeks ago that an athletic-looking young man walked into The Planet Pulse. The owner of the store also happened to be there that day and, being the kind of owner he is (friendly!), he promptly began to chat up the young man, who looked like he could be a star player of some sort.
Boy, was he right.
The gentleman turned out to be Pine Township native Neil Walker. A 2004 graduate of Pine-Richland High school and a Pittsburgh Pirate since 2009, Neil also has been a fan of The Planet Pulse since it opened close to two years ago.
A fast friendship -- helped no doubt by a mutual love of fashion -- was soon born.
Luckily for us, Neil Walker is a friendly sort ... and charitable too. Along with fellow player Garrett Jones, Neil will be at The Planet Pulse from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Saturday to sign player cards (the guys will provide their own) and other memorabilia. The Planet Pulse also will donate a portion of the proceeds from Saturday's sales to The Pirates-supported charity, Fields for Kids. This is a terrific -- and local -- organization that provides financial support for new baseball and softball fields around the Pittsburgh community.
See, so not only do you have a chance to meet The Pirates, it's for a good cause too!
Now, just a word or two about Garrett Jones, not only does he look good in his uniform, the outfielder (Nickname: G.I. Jones), like Neil, is an extremely nice guy. But don't just take my word for it, find out for yourself -- and ask them what denim brands they prefer -- when you visit The Planet Pulse this weekend. An added bonus? You also can check out all the recent new arrivals to the store, including fab looks from Miss Me, Ella Moss and RVCA.
So, there you have it; Pirates hotties and an afternoon spent shopping. Sigh. Sounds like a perfect day for any Pittsburgh fashionista worth her salt ... and whose heart belongs to the city.
