It was hard to get pictures. People refused to shift even a little bit so I could get stranger-free photos. The bastards! Next time I’m getting there right when it opens so I can run to the spots I want pictures of before people fill up the space and stand in my way.
LOL Rob! Maybe next time I’ll just have a couple pre-Flea cocktails to stay warm! The odd thing was, the further up you went, the colder it got. Heat is supposed to rise dammit!
“and these little telescopes that when you look through them it was titty shots!”
*rob*, forget about the nudie bar! Get to the Flea ASAP. Buy a little telescope, invite freinds over to your place, smoke some pot and pass the tittyscope around.
Went to flea on sunday and it was packed. We spent more time looking at bldg then at the goods. Usually there are some craft makers and new goods, not so much. Brownies were tasty.
i didnt notice it being cold in there snappy… but then again we were dranking vodka and koolaid when we were at the mall. the building inside kinda gave me vertigo

I paid $20 for the custom bead and silver ring I bought. The seller didn’t have the one that I liked in my size and stood there and made me exactly what I wanted while I waited. That made it worth $20. She was super nice, too.
Flea Markets aren’t what they use to be.
Years ago I use to go often (I rarely go now) and it seemed like you can find a great bargain. I loved digging through boxes of ‘junkie’ costume jewelry and finding a great designer piece at dirt cheap prices ($1 – $5).
Now, all the vendors think their stuff is the Mona Lisa and pricing them that way.
“paris is probably THE lamest city on Planet Earth
and YES, i have NEVER been there. no desire to either. it’s a disgusting racist and smelly city.

Don’t waste your time with this, chicken.
Most of those clothes weren’t truly vintage…just used. I think I saw maybe two small section of honest to goodness ‘vintage’ clothes. The rest was just shit they probably found on a stoop in the Slope or WillyB and hit it with some Febreeze and threw it on a hanger.
