Thrift Shopping - Vintage Nirvana or Dead Man Walking?
by Susie Watson on July 19th, 2005
Susie and Barb argue - can you believe it? - about whether thrift
shopping is cool or morbid. Susie is a lifelong fan, Barb won’t be
caught dead (no pun intended) in one, because she figures all the
clothes were found on dead people. Although a millipede once crawled
out of a cool robe Susie scored, that hasn’t squelched her love of
the hunt for retro cool in dark and dank shops.

Combine tator tots, moon boots, a corduroy suit, 1/8″ thick steaks,

the decade. Why does this movie tickle the funny bone of so many
people of all ages? Barb and Susie discuss and theorize.
