Rad Chic-A-Go-Go hostess and Tiny Bones drummer Mia Park is one of Chicago’s sweetest, perkiest rock ‘n’ roll citizens. She’s so sweet it makes Gossip Wolf’s big teeth hurt. So who better to represent Santa to millions of Americans for Sears stores nationwide? Miss Mia has already passed initial auditions and is currently one of the most viewed entrants in the chain’s “Be the Santa” contest website. If she makes it as a finalist, she could be chosen as one of five Santas to be paid $50,000 and featured prominently in Sears holiday ad campaigns. You can vote for her until September 23 at bethesanta.sears.com/sections/viewentry/368025.

As previously gossiped about by Gossip Wolf, Mittens on Strings are calling it a day. The band’s last show will be September 17 at the Hideout, in case you’d like to pay your respects.
