Oh man. I’m doing it again. My scavenger instincts are flaring up. I can’t resist. Today I went through somebody’s garbage. I know my neighbors would be absolutely horrified, but they’re probably horrified by me already. I should say in my defense, it wasn’t just random trash. Since trash bags are required to be clear, I could see that it contained clothing and some other moving-out type garbage and not rotting vegetables or anything.
Most of it is sadly and very obviously too small for me. I didn’t even bother to try on the brown sparkly tube top that said “EARTH” in big gold letters and rhinestones. But a few items are nearly my size and very decent finds.
1. A white T-shirt with collar, rhinestone buttons going half way down in the shirt. In big gold letters:
FIND RIZE
ASK SUN
LOVE GLAD
CONTINUE
2. A purposely threadbare longsleeved white shirt. The brand is called “BLOW.” There are rhinestone buttons on the shirt cuffs. In silver sparkly letters:
CZARINA
RIFIND SWEET, LIGHT
BROWN, HARD
TASTE, YOU
AS IF IN A
DREAM
Now, I think both these shirts are hilarious. But I’m a little nervous about wearing them around where my neighbors can see. Hanging them outside apartment window to dry after washing is completely out of the question.
