I am in need of something more powerful than the all-mighty Naked Lady
Party. Returning from the open desert full of exploded propane tanks,
burned out tired and ancient mine shafts (that entropy ate for lunch
over the past 4 decades) I have decided I have too much stuff.
Add
to that I prefer clothing swaps to garage sales and finding renewed
life for my stuff in my friends house - I am having a massive
"clothing-optional" swap.
What the ef is a clothing swap aka a Naked Lady Party?
It's
where you go through your closet (all of them or even your house) and
pull out the stuff you don't wear, don't want, thought you would wear,
that stuff you will never fit into, that belt from an x-boyfriend, that
bracelet from the x-friend who stabbed you in the back, those random
shoes left at your house after your barely rememberable (although memorable) party last
year.... etc.
You get it. The stuff that still have life in it,
and someone to love it, but it's not you. Your love for it is dead.
But, you're guilt-tripped by the eco-friendly world we live in and
can't just throw it in the dumpster. And you could take it to the
Salvation Army (or Out of the Closet or the Women's shelter) but, it's
just been sitting in the trunk of your car for three weeks already.
Jeeze. I have a lot of baggage.
And
it can be yours. I already have 6 bags of stuff, including some stupid
books from the web 1.0 era (um, webeconomics anyone? Does anyone
remember 1:1 marketing?), three sheets to the wind (and an amazing
amount of flannel pillowcases, I can only imagine are from my bay area
days that have not yet made it to the camping gear). Amazing beauty
products that promise to turn you into a supermodel in 5 days (but I
got bored of them after the first night). Random burning man costumes
and true vintage 70s Polynesian dresses. Let's not even get started on
my random box of electronics, wires, old phones, usb hello kitty
dancing delight.
OK. So you may not be interested in any of
this stuff. But in the small chance that you are interested, I will
sell it to you for the amazing price of .... FREE. Just show up. I'll
tell you a story about it and maybe you'll give it a new life. Or maybe
you'll just take it to the desert and put it out of it's misery.
If
you would like to add any of your stuff to the free swap, bring it -
but be sure to take it home if no-one else does. (Or maybe we can
organize a mass Out of the Closet run afterwards.)
The bottom line:Optional: Bring shit to swap. (And bring a bag)
Required: Take something cool home!
Optional (but preferred): Bring a drink (cocktail or not) or snack to share.
Sunday, January 10th, 2010!
