Fancy Disaster sells affordable vintage clothing for men and women and—blessed be!—it’s not all the same size-four, starve-yourself-and-come-back-next-month stuff that’s so prominent at area retailers. Opening on Atlantic across the street from the newly re-christened restaurant the Bitter Chef (formerly the Americana), Fancy Disaster will host a get-to-know-you party Friday for curious shoppers. Plus, there’ll be music (courtesy DJ Raulie and DJ Jesse Gomez) and treats (from C Salt Gourmet) at the Bitter Chef. Welcome!

Fancy Disaster, 218 Atlantic Ave, Long Beach 90802; the Bitter Chef, 601 E Broadway, Long Beach 90802. Fri 7-11pm. Free. fancydisaster.com.
