The Glitter Sale

Ah,it's the time of the year when the Goodwill rolls out the designer duds and the lovely and yes, some very unlovely, vintage clothing they have been stashing all year. This is a fun event,they call the Glitter Sale, even if they overprice. You get to line up in downtown Seattle at 7am and wait until 9am to get in. They give you a number to go to the jewelry counter and a blue bin for the free-for-all snatch and grab at the racks. Most of the hardcore vintage junkies are there and those who go for the cheap designer stuff (yawn). There are no fitting rooms so you have to try on right there around the racks while fighting off the crazy #@%$#^* who try to steal from your bin. The saddest thing I have ever seen there are the japanese exporters who rip the fragile clothes off the racks to stuff in large hefty bags (which are no longer allowed)and who destroyed a bunch of dresses and threw them on the floor. SAD MANNERS! Anyway, I am very excited for Saturday and the grand broohaha of the sale. Last time I bought two totally gorgeous and as of yet unworn, 20's dresses and this time I am going to look for a cloche hat and a fab 30's dress to wear to an event I am going to later that night. Wish me luck!-C
