I'm not sure what to share here these days.

The employment situation is looking up; the school might put me on some extra hours. Part-time is the life.

I went to some overpriced vintage stores in the LES last night, partly as research and partly just to covet. Well, I know where all the good thrift in NYC goes now. It doesn't seem like the $65 Gunne Sax dresses are flying off the racks these days, though. pomegranite, they were trying to sell crocheted hats like yours for $100! They had a tighter knit around the bottom and no brim really, and a flower.

Jen, we have to get out of town to do some thrifting soon. We'll get you a new track suit.

Oh also, I filled in as bodyguard for my friend's band, Liquid Tapedeck, at Arlene Grocery. They are a couple of ranty semi-political pranksters who use a lot of gimmicks (such as having a bodyguard, and the bass player only pretends to play along to prerecorded tracks.) It wasn't too bad, and fit in nicely with the rest of my performance resume -- a long and storied career of mostly standing on the side of the stage (holding feather fans for Bonnie Dunn, presenting prizes, pretending to look sad in the circus, etc.) Pretty soon I will be ready to be one of those women on Let's Make a Deal who wheel platforms around. Except I want to work on Jeopardy, I love that show.

Whoa, small world!

If you want good thrifting, go to Everything Goes on Staten Island. It's cheap and it's great. It's like you aren't in New York at all.

I think I've been there! That weird little house, right? Did you know they are actually a commune and everybody who works there lives together in the commune? For real.

Mine have flowers! I can do them with our without a flared brim, shit I can do anything really! I should send you some and you can sell them at those insane NY prices, We'd be rich!!

For sure. I don't know how many they actually sell -- there were two left, and it's now Spring. But shit, even selling one or two at those prices will make them rich.
