I shop at thriftstore all the time.....I found a great shirt today..... thrift stores are basically 2nd-hand store.. it has everything from shoes to books, hats to furnitures and etc. usually, thriftstores get donations from people. many of them are sponsored by Salvation Army. so People donate stuffs they dont want/ need anymore. so obviously things are REALLY cheap. for instance, a tshirt in regular store here in America is around.......$10. but I usually get a tshirt at a thrift store for $0.10~$1. People often get great vintage concert shirts from 70's and stuff for like a $1( i havent found one yet) thrift store jeans are really awesome because since they have been worn before, it's REALLY comfortable and has that really great worn-out look. people prefer shopping there because either they are 1. short on budget, 2. if you get a stuff from a thriftstore, you will (99% positive) NOT see anyone else with same thing on...(since it's old, people usually dont have that) anyways, it's obviously for not everyone. When I was little, I used to think it was gross when I read abut people buying jeans that other people have worn. but as I grew up, my opinion changed and it really helps me since I spend 90% of money on music-related things... :] some of my mates freaked out when they got into thriftstore once(they are bit of neat freaks):] but anyways, I on the other hand, obviously love thrift stroes.... :]

Well that's the whole thing about charity / thrift stores. tehy all basically work on teh same principle (donations) so it's all very random. I always kinda thought that thrift stores in Am,erica are better than Uk, but it's not so much is american thrift stores better than british charity shops because it all really comes dwn to what part of Britain u r in. like London for instance has sum shit hot fuckin charity shops b/c it's well London ... u get me?
there is no yes or no

yea it totally depends on area.....the ones I shop at(in Philly) it's hard to find nice stuffs, but when I was in a NYC thriftstore briefly, I saw a lot of awesome stuff...unfortunately, i wasnt in the mood to carry them around. but i guess ill take a shopping trip sometime soon.....
im currently looking for an army coat like the libs', but preferably in black....(although red IS awesome)...i recently read an ad. in newspaper about a thriftarmy coat shop so i ought to visit there soon.
aaron lol trying to look like kings? i assume u too are blessed with a stick 0% body fat figure :] but ur out of luck if ur trying to search for "kol -esque" jeans....because someone informed me that they get their levi's customized....(i laughed my ass off) :] just grab some flares....guys in flares are hot.......doesn't levi's have a line of low-rise jeans for guys? that looked really hot...

Would average build be a little bit more relevant than normal? As the kings are past the skinny side of average and verdgeinng oon underweight.

yea i was being sarcastic on "normal" part :] i know KOL are def. underweighed..... 99% of bands are skinny.....I'm soooo jealous of their stick figures and trade in my boobs and hips in for that stick figure....I mean seriously, they can pull off ALMOST ANYTHING. seriously. who else can look so damn awesome in a lime green pants like Andre 3000 if it weren't for his fabulous figure? oh man, Matt had this UGLIEST JACKET ever...it was soooooo ugly that i wanted to tear it apart. he was wearing this orange PLAID blazer...he was wearing a stonewashed jeans with it, and i think it was one of the ugliest outfit ive ever seen....(but then, at that concert, soooooo many ppl were wearing ugly ass clothes, that i wanted to go upto them and tell them how ugly their clothes looked-i usually NEVER comment on ppls clothes, but they were far beyond ugly) haha my mate was looking for a jacket yday, and i found this awesome purple velvet blazer for her. It was too small for her, so i tried it on, and the sleeves were so short on me(like 3 inches above my wrist) :] mainly because im bit on tall side...(5'8 and three quarters- i guess around 174 cm ish...) i usuaally have hard time finding long sleeved topwear that fits my armlengths..+ i also have long neck/long torso/long legs and i hate showing much skin so i have hard time finding well-fitting shits..... btw, im 17/F/shithole with cool name :](Philadelphia) what's urs?
