Rogue Valley Humane Society Thrift Store

Fill a plastic Safeway bag for $ 3.
Need I say more ?
OK. I will.
Full price is available to you inside the shop. But outside, under the tarps, what they call the, ‘Yardsale’, is where the party begins.
I’m having, and been having, this dilema:
I prefer to wear an outfit only once. Then its old, been done, dead to me.
I love clothes that have been destroyed naturally.
Stains, holes, rips, tears, paint, epoxy, cement… etc.
I am very uncomfortable in brand new Made in China fresh off the rack digs.
I also find great joy in destroying clothes myself.
Challenging their delicate symmetrical beauty, arranging their generic individualism and intricate patterning, curing it as my skin for the moment.
This is not my attempt at Marc Jacob’s deconstruction.
It is not grunge reinvented.
Not a British punk rebellion.
Its about substance.
I want my garments how I want my food, FRESH.
