Welcome to Department Thrift Shopping 101
So you want to thrift store shop but don't know where to start? Intimidated by all of the shoulder padded jackets and the mothball smells?
Well, don't fret...
This simple guide will help you map out a plan to find your vintage treasures! This was written for department store shopping but it can also apply to specialty vintage stores too!
What to wear
Wear comfortable clothes. This is essential! A lot of digging is involved in this shopping experience and a pair of little stiletto heels ain't gonna cut it. Wear an outfit that you can easily get in and out of since you'll be trying on god knows how many items.
Don't walk into a thrift store with one thing in mind.
Keep your eyes open to all possibilities. Sometimes I'm thinking -- Damn! That girl had on some bomb-ass sunglasses that can only be vintage, I'm gonna find them!! -- With a mindset like that, I will definitely overlook other items that are just as worthy of my attention.
Tailors make it possible!
If an shirt is too big or a skirt too small, you can always find a tailor who will add a stretchy spandex band or take in a shirt. You can also add or take out buttons to your piece!
Scan, scan, scan!!
In a crazy department thrift stores things will get tossed here and there. Keep your eyes open at all times for misplaced items. Key things to look out for in a sea of racks are eye-catching prints and unusal materials! Look everywhere! You might actually find that vintage treasure under the racks or behind a nasty XXL dress!
Child's Play
Don't ignore the kid's section -- it's the perfect place to find fitted sport jerseys or boy's jackets. Remember to distinguish between fitted and just plain too small.
Don't hold back!
If someting catches your eye, grab it right away and put it in your cart. This does not mean you are obligated to buy! Sometimes, I don't pick something up just because I'm being picky and another gal will see me looking at it and grab it which only makes me want it more.
DIY Projects
Sometimes you find a horrid thing of a shirt or skirt but you love the fabric and pattern. Let your creativity wander....why not make a pillow or a drawstring bag to store your valuables? DIY from vintage fabrics are the best because it will most likely always be one of a kind!
Play it smart
Find out what day new merchandise comes in and is stocked. Befriend the store clerks because they will be the ones who will give you discounts and be able to hook you up with cheap pricing on untagged items (in most department thrift stores only).
Febreeze anyone?
Lysol those shoes before you try them on...and don't forget to febreeze that shirt! I like to hang my bulkier items outside to air it out. Most items have been sitting in bags for long periods of time developing a musty smell that sticks to vintage like glue. Sure, dry cleaning a thick vintage coat can be expensive but its worth it if the jacket you got was cheap.
most importantly, HAVE FUN! Let your creativity wander...Some of my best and most complimented items are vintage!

[EVENT] Renegade Craft Fair -BROOKLYN
Saturday + Sunday, June 25 + 26, 10:30 AM - 5:00 PM
McCarren Park, N. 12th St and Bedford Ave., NYC
What is the Renegade Craft Fair?
The Renegade Craft Fair is an edgy D.I.Y. event showcasing a ton of the coolest crafts from all over the country. We, Sue Blatt and Kathleen Habbley, came up with this event after searching for venues to sell our own stuff. We couldn't find anything that appealed to us...other fairs seemed too stuffy so we just decided to start our own. Now we're in our third year and touring to other cities so keep your eyes peeled for the Renegade Craft Fair in your city, 'cause we might be there soon!
What kinds of crafts will be there?
When starting the fair, we wanted to set our event apart from traditional craft fairs by tapping into the established DIY craft movement that already had a presence online and in indie magazines, but had yet to reach the public thru a festival setting. We're looking for all sorts of cool crafty stuff...knitting, jewelry, sewn items, paper goods, silkscreened items, woodworking, comics, zines, cosmetics...you name it!

June 24, 2005, Noon - 1:00 p.m.
Koret Visitor Education Center, SF MOMA
New York-based painter Marilyn Minter in her first solo museum show. Minter's work examines the relationships between the body, photography, and painting, tapping into cultural anxieties about sexuality and desire. This exhibition focuses on her recent works, hyperrealistic close-ups of makeup-laden lips, eyes, and toes, whose luscious colors, glossy surfaces, and immediate subject matter are both seductive and disturbing. While Minter's images mimic fashion advertising with alarming veracity, her exaggerated gestures subvert it, exposing the pleasures and dangers of glamour.
