Found three of this set within two days at Savers! $2.99/each. Maybe I’m just homesick but this looks identical to my old harbor spot in California. Triple score!

It’s been a wild season or two, with plenty of mighty fine thrifting going on. Hold your horses for an archival dump of cozy goodness. Cheers! Bailey.

#BodyPositivityProject2012

Do you guys remember my Body Positivity Project? Well I am finally exhibiting these images in a gallery next week and I am so excited! This is my chance to get people involved IRL and not just virtually. I hope that this exhibition will compel some viewers to participate.

In light of the exhibition, I am going to create a new blog just for this project, to keep it focused, alive and growing!

But first, since this is an entirely community driven project with all of you as the stars, I would like to ask you for help with the name. I have been calling it my “Body Positivity Project” which is ok, but if anyone has anything more specific I will pick my favorite and credit your blog for the help! I love the interactive nature of this art, so I hope you share your ideas to title this project! Thank you in advance to all who participate.

Here are the first four Body Positivity Project gum bichromate prints! Do you see your pair here?

Thank you all so much for participating! You made all of these images beautiful.

It is not too late to join in on the fun!! These are only the first few images featuring about 200 submitted breasts. I will be collecting images all summer long! So if you are comfortable with this idea and over 18, send me some pictures and appreciate your body for all of its unique beauty!

Vintage find of the day: 1943 1st edition of The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand.

Today was the annual city-wide garage sale in Louisiana, MO. I worked all day with my mom at her store yesterday setting up for the much anticipated event. Was up at 5:30 today to get out for some early bird steals. This was by far one of my top purchases of the year.

An old couple from Tennessee were clearing out there storage bins. This little gem sat at the bottom of the box next to some dusty old 80’s Sci-Fi paperbacks. You never know what you’ll find out here, but when you do it’s dirt cheap! So yeah, come to the Midwest, y’all!

I’ve got some big news!

James and I founded Selbey.com, an online marketplace for new and used vintage, designer, handmade, and thrifted apparel. It’s been hard to keep it a secret, but we’ve finally launched!

We’re building an awesome product to bridge the gap between online sites like eBay and Etsy by focusing only on clothing and accessories to make online shopping the best experience possible. Because being green is the future, and everyone could use a little extra cash in their pocket, we wanted to create a model that would empower sellers to get the most for their clothing, and prevent less waste in landfills.

We’re always looking for new users and feedback on the current site. So feel free to check it out, sign up, and spread the word!

You can sign up here:

www.selbey.com/invite/nila

We can’t wait to see what’s in your closet!

Support Selbey, ya’ll. Great things will come from this. AND you can shop BY ERA. :D

tehjeff:

Okay, so my friends Nila and James have started a website called Selbey. It’s sort of like Etsy, but just for clothing and clothing accessories — you make a profile, create a storefront and sell clothing through the site. There is a 20-30 cent list fee I believe, and 3% of the list price upon sale goes to the site; right now it’s in beta, so it’s invite only and everything is free to do at the moment (no list fees, etc.).

If you are interested in such a website, send me an ask and I’ll hook you up with an invite. They’re trying to work out bugs and garner interest, so the more people who think they’d post up or sell clothing the better. Just shoot me a message to my ask with your e-mail.

Edit: They can just be clothes you own, you don’t have to MAKE the clothes.

Nila, you gots to step up your game. You shoulda posted this WEEKS ago. This is great! Check it out, ya’ll. -Bailey

gussieup — Thu, 07 Jul 2011 08:24:00 -0400

to gush about how thrilled I am to have my dear ladyfriends Eli & Nila on board for this internet-adventure in thrifting. These girls taught me how to thrift. They also taught me how to not be embarrassed when your friends fart on you or explain in detail how they would like to defile your vagina as a way of expressing deep and sincere friendship. We have piled 4-deep into a queen-sized bed, been jealous when the other finds the perfect vintage purse, arrived at parties wearing the same blouse, and driven out of our way to eat the most disgusting plate of chili cheese fries.

What I’m trying to say is ya’ll should keep an eye on us. We’re up to no good. :D -Bailey
