    Holy frijoles

    in only 10 days we've received HALF of the funding needed to get us to the Gift Fair. I am astounded, humbled, and excited!

    We're halfway there so please harass (nicely!) anyone you think might be interested in helping our goal become realized.

    Thanks to PETA, we have this great tweet that anyone can send out:

    A great #vegan company has the opportunity to increase their exposure & need ur help. Pledge, get some soap & RT! http://kck.st/pHCqNW

    We're so close and get closer every day. Thank you to all of you!

    (Us at one of Metropolis' first craft shows. OH MAN, so long ago)

    New reward levels!

    Thank you to all of those who have pledged so far...it's amazing how quickly we're moving towards our goal!

    I've added 2 new reward levels that are perfect for the holiday season...wholesale pricing for your account! You can receive either 6 months or 1 full year of wholesale pricing on our website, perfect for the holiday season! There won't be any coupons to remember...your account will be changed so that it only shows wholesale pricing instead of retail prices.

    Thank you again so so much...we're getting closer to the Gift Fair every day!

    Testimonials

    People love Metropolis! How much? THIS MUCH:

    Looks like good stuff! ~ Susan, AZ

    I will buy your soap if it's packaged in a brown paper bag with Sharpie scrawled across the top. Seriously. Keep being awesome. ~ Staci, IL

    Just ordered a few of your perfume oils and Damaged Goods on a whim and it arrived amazingly fast. Not to mention the envelop smelled AMAZING. I put on 500 Thieves this morning at 8:30am and it is still lingering in a faint and amazing way now... Over 15 hours later! Thank you for lovely things. :) ~ Angela, PA

    Your products look great! ~ Beth, IL

    You have no idea how [Dark Lavender and Lime] has saved my life. I had horrible acne and as soon as I started using this bar it went away. I turned my sister on to it too, for her acne, and she is hooked! Thanks again! ~ Jessica, IL

    "[Dark Lavender and Lime is] the best soap I've ever used and I swear my skin is clearer after only a few days.  I've tried tons of products and nothing really helped clear my skin until now." ~ Wende, NY

    Just bought your soaps this weekend at the Craft Fair in McCarren Park. AWESOME!!! ~ Lorraine, NY

    Your lip balm and tangerine mint salt scrub rocks!! I will be using them up soon. Can't wait to try more stuff! ~ Jarred, PA

    recently purchased Damaged Goods solid lotion. A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!!!! - Tonya, VA

    I'm wearing "Aroma Obscura" right now and smell luscious. Thanks Metropolis for an outstanding product! - Judith, NY

    I bought Aroma Obscura at the Brooklyn Indie Market and told you I loved
    it but I'd have to give it to my sister-in-law. She's my shoe muse, and I'm her perfume muse. Sure enough, she smelled it last week and pinched the whole bottle! (I gave up willingly because I know where to get more.) She says, "Wearing handblended oils gives me confidence and the scent lingers for hours." See you soon! :) - Karen, NY

    I love your soap. Put it on a puff and it lathers up great. It's very moisturizing but not greasy like some of the olive oil soaps I love. - Felicia, PA
