WTF Tuesday #15!



Thanks to everybody who participated last week!
I probably won't be doing much thrifting over the holidays, so I will most likely be taking next Tuesday off - HAPPY HOLIDAYS - see you in 2012 for WTF TUESDAYS!

A plastic flamingo in a homemade tuxedo. A lonely womans/mans toy? Or someone who couldn't afford one of those damn ducks in the '90s that people used to have on their porch that they dressed up & bought clothes by the wicker basket fulls at craft shows?




Also..
These aren't supposed to fit into the WTF category, just wanted to post & say, so let me know if you think they are WTF fitting!
A new pair of kicks from Winners - $39.99, compared at (according to Winners) $90 - the eco-friendly, hemp, vegan "Grasshopper" antique white IPath shoe. What do you think? I've kept the receipt, just in case. I'm still not sure. I found a coupon for free Crest Pro-Health toothpaste while I was there too. Minty Fresh.

    Nice new kicks! As for the flamingo...just when we thought lawn decor couldn't be more tacky... enter the homemade tuxedo, ha ha.

    It kind of looks like a puppet. Is it supposed to be a puppet? WTF indeed. (Not to mention the horrible whip stitching on the "cummerbund")

    Good one Jackie.
    & thanks (about the shoes).


    monogirl - I never thought of it being a puppet. It very well could be. & I know, totally horrible, lol.

    Vonlipi. If you ever come to Toronto I want to be the one to bring you around! It's everyone for themselves once we get in the thrift though.
