We live in a tough area for thrifting, MG. So much competition here. Things were better in the days before vintage stores. ::Hawks chewing tobacco into spittoon. Thumbs suspenders.::

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Epic, I still have an unclaimed couch in Berkeley.
Woot! I'm still at the pencil-me-in-lightly phase as I work on details between work and school and etc. But I'm very excited at the prospect!
Ponders whether to try to read any history in the F2F thread, or just skip to today...

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
When are you thrifting, JZ? I think that might make me happy.
Dunno yet. Saturday, most likely, if that suits Lee.
Ooh! We could go to Valencia Street too -- that has loads of vintage and thrifty stuff that I never get to check out because I usually only go to that area with Hec and Emmett, whose collective vintage and thrift tolerance is... let's see, nuthin' minus nuthin', carry the zero... red-hot blazing hate.

From way back....
I watched the first two episodes of Top Chef last night, and I am hooked. I can't wait for the next episode.

I beg to differ, ma'am. When I was there in November, I went to one of the thrift stores on Valencia with Hec and Emmett -- in fact, I'm pretty damn sure that Hec suggested it -- and watched them scavenge with the intensity of vultures.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
My problem is I'm just the wrong size for thrift stores. And I have no idea what looks good on me. So it is not so much that I go looking for soemthing than I don't ever expect to find anything my size and when I do I have no idea if it "works" for me.
I need a personal shopper.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Wanna come thrifting with me and Lee and possibly juliana next weekend?
Oh hells yeah I'm there. Just try to stop me. I have a MUNI pass and I ain't afraid to use it!!!!
Are we talking the 25th or the 18th? I'm assuming the 25th, but I am unwilling to rely on that whole memory thing.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Valencia has the best thrift-shop area I've ever seen. I'd often take BART home from work (to the 24th St. stop) and just wander around that area for ages.
Huh. Just picturing the area in my mind is making me miss SF.

Okay, well, fuck. Apparently they just hate thrifting/vintaging with me.

Punishingly Intricate
We could go to Valencia Street too
awwww my old hood! I lived a couple of blocks from the 24th st. BART stop. My best friend in SF is the Mistress of the Thrift. If I go with her, even if she is not explicitly helping me shop, I always find something perfect. She's got a magical touch.
