That means items from Maison Martin, BLK DNM, and Zero Maria Cornejo will all be on sale. Plus, reduced apothecary lines like, Cire Trudon and Santa Maria Novella.

You'll also get the chance to meet FashionFinder – SF's newest and most innovative fashion app – and shop at special discounted prices.

The Search For Hunky Jesus and Foxy Mary

The season's most blasphemous event is back for another year, but this time around the search for the sexiest savior will be held in Golden Gate Park. The usual family-friendly Easter fun will take place from 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m., but the real party starts with a burlesque show, the Hunky Jesus contest and (for the first time ever!) a Foxy Mary contest. That's right ladies; you'll also get your chance to sexy don sheets and halos.
