Thrift Store Slut
I have a favorite place in Vallejo where I always find the best stuff:

vinyl jacket: $3
real velvet cheerleader-like skirt: $4
designer Catholic schoolgirl dress: $2
sweater that resembles hot pink shag carpet: $2
Impressing everyone with my fashion taste: priceless.

New! Improved! More easily fuckable!

Hmm
Y'know I can't resist a fashion thread.

I don't know why, but I just can't.

I have a $2100.00 leather trench coat.
A $9.99 microfibre toque, black.

Men's fashions are so boring. Where's my velvet chearleader skirt?

Re: Hmm
I have yet to see one in your size, dear. I did find a $7 vinyl trench coat there that probably would have fit you fine. I could have put two of me in it easily.

But really, I think the hot pink shag carpet sweater would be just darrrrrling on you!

I enough to volunteer at a women's shelter that keeps recieving clothing donations. Lucky for me, I generally like the things that the homeless people find too crappy or ugly.

Nothings says fun like historical gotch
I used to love thrift stores, nothings more fun than rummaging around in old clothes...

However, I've started working at a costume place so I get to do this 7 1/2 hours a day, 5 days a week... It's starting to lose it's appeal.

The place I work at is sort of a costume museum but people (mostly theatre and film companies)can rent stuff. In addition to the costumes we have, we get a lot of donations. I spent 7 1/2 hours...a few weeks ago, sewing labels into unwashed donations. Good times.

::shudders:: I have HORROR stories about Salvation army. Once we pulled a gallon of spoiled milk out of a donation. I have tons of nasty stories like that.

That's so gross! The worst I ever had to do was sort through a homeless person's belongings. The person kept accumulating clothes so as to never do laundry. Her stuff was interesting smelling to say the least, and there were rotten sandwiches and fruit.

Re: Nothings says fun like historical gotch
Well... the homeless I can forgive.
They do not have access to washers and dryers and things like that.

The worst were people who had plenty of money. They always seemed to care the least what condition something was in.

I am just gonna stop right there.

Rich people are just gross overall
I used to be a janitor in an office building, and wouldn't you know whose bathrooms were the nastiest? The executive ones, of course! Mmm, scrubbing poo-encrusted toilets every summer. Good times.

We had to sort through boxes of junk yesterday....boxes which included rotting mite infested scraps of fur. Either that or they were dead rats who had somehow gotten into the boxes and died.

Re: :S
Rich people are so inconsiderate.

Then the other day we were in a thrift store and I knocked some books over. I of coarse started to pick them up and put them back. My fiancee tells me to stop, that they are paid to do that. I glared at him and gave him a little talking too.

Thrift stores...that's where I buy ALL my clothes. I don't care what I wear, I have no fashion sense.

I asked no other thing,
no other was denied.
I offered Being for it,
the mighty merchant smiled.
"Brazil?" He twirled a button, without a glance my way,
"But madam, is there nothing else that we can show today?"
