<title>Lost My Chucks @ the Beastie Boys Concert</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        Summer 1994—One of the ‘paloozas.  

I was right next to the stage so I was happy.  

Until my shoes were stomped right off my feet by the crush of the crowd.  I was literally picked off the ground as the collective group jumped up and down.  I looked down and could see my shoes getting kicked about in the shuffle, but couldn’t reach them.  After getting knocked to the ground by some crowd surfer’s* leg, and nearly stomped to death,** I had to say goodbye to my shoes, cut my loses and punch my way out of the massive crowd to the less crazy sidelines.

I had to spend the rest of the day barefoot like some festival hippie.

Boy was I mad.  They were my favorite Chuck Taylor low tops, nice and broken in.  

They didn’t even smell that bad. Yet.



*Crowd surfing, so very early 90s! 

** While I was down there getting dust kicked up in my face there was money swirling all about.  Seriously, lost 10s and 20s all over.  I could have cleaned up if I wasn’t in danger of loosing a limb.

<title>T J Maxx</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        T J Maxx is next to whole foods at the Fresh Pond strip mall. It is a huge box discount store selling overstock merchandise at steep discounts.

It is a great place to get stuff for your house, like glasses, dishes, cutting boards, etc. They have really nice stuff and it's super cheap. I bought a couple cast-iron tea pots (the kind that sell for 50-70$ in fancy tea shops) for $10 each.

My kitchen is entirely stocked with stuff from TJ MAxx, the Goodwill, and the Salvation Army.

On the other hand, despite the masses and masses and racks and racks of clothes they have here, I have never had much luck finding anything to wear here. I think that I don't have the patience for the quatities.<br/>Tags: accessories, housewares, discount, clothing, shoes, toys, huge, weird, cheap, sheets, blankets, clothing stores, luggage, underwear, tj maxx, nice pots and pans, weird stuff, foreigners, socks<br /><br /><a href="http://www.platial.com/post/81299">Map this on Platial</a><br />

<title>Vendima Vintage</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        <object width="420" height="350"><param value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ExbaJBbFReY"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ExbaJBbFReY" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="420" height="350"></embed></object>
Meet Graciela Ronconi of Vendima (anyone want to edit this poorly-lit video for me? :)
_____________________
Besides Graciela and staff's friendly vibe, what I love best about Vendima is that they carry new vintage-inspired pieces as well as the real thing. Sometimes your favorite look just can't be found in a certain kind of pattern or color or size  and you've gotta do a little "cheat." Can you guess which of the menswear coats in the photo showing two of them side-by-side in the column over there on the right is the real vintage and which is the new, vintage-inspired piece? 

Vendima carries Classic Hardware jewelry, which looks and feels like old Bakelite (see photo at right), shoes, coats, dresses, skirts and menswear that are reminiscient of 40s and 50s styles. Some of the new retro offerings include designs by local peeps Brown Sound, Sailor Jerry (did you know he was a real tattoo artist in the 30s and 40s? Yep he was, and you can get stationery here with his tattoo art as well as menswear sort of bowling shirts), Lucky 13, Rock Steady, and beau bois. 

Graciela Ronconi moved to this primo spot (right next to Peasant Pies near the MUNI 24 bus line) and changed the store name to Vendima (which means "vintage" in Portugese) after 11 years at "Guys and Dolls" in a lesser-traveled Noe Valley location. She buys clothes from the public--you can call to set up an appointment to sell your duds--and from trade shows and wholesalers who scout and buy all over the country. 

Winona Ryder shops here and scouts from Louis Vuitton, Burberry, and Ralph Lauren regularly check out the offerings for inspiration. I was digging the partytime Jackie O. looking metallic-threaded tweedish dresses with matching coats and if I didn't already have a couple sets from Aunt Esther I would have indulged.  

In the far back of the store you can find gifts and the ever-popular sales rack; a sweet selection of vintage plastic baby clothes hangers were going for $2.50 each and some lovely dresses were marked way down (see photos at right).

Graciela is a gracious gal with a real vintage flair; let her style your vintage look.

        My personal favorite thrift store in town.  It is THE spot to buy clothing that's never been worn, tags still attached.  They carry seasonal decorations that are inexpensive and good for crafting.  Good buys on shoes and used household items like dishes and higher quality bed linens.  Sometimes carry furniture in good condition.  PS - This Springfield is sort of the model for The Simpson's hometown, even has that giant horse sculpture at the city entrance, but I am not sure the rider on the real statue is Jebediah Springfield...<br/>Tags: clothing, lamps, fabric, shoes, halloween, tables, dishes, holiday decorations, chairs<br /><br /><a href="http://www.platial.com/post/41099">Map this on Platial</a><br />

        <![CDATA[
        (From Daily Candy)
June 26, 2006
Sole Mate

Shoes are like lovers.

You spend so much time breaking them in, molding them to your needs, then one day you wake up and realize they’re no longer what you fell in love with.

Don’t chuck them just yet. All they need is a good repurposing.

In about one week, Yahya at Distinguished Fabrics, a favorite tailor and fabric merchandiser of the Philly elite, can replace the upper of a dated leather shoe for a whole new look. Go for a custom tweed, textured fabric, or Gucci logo — whatever suits your style.

For much less than it would cost you and your bunions to break in a new pair, you’ll have something that feels comfortably familiar yet refreshingly new.

Talk about a match made in heaven.

Distinguished Fabrics, 770/772 South 4th Street (215-627-6380).<br/>Tags: phila, shoes, philadelphia, alterations, philly<br /><br /><a href="http://www.platial.com/post/110806">Map this on Platial</a><br />

        Clothes Contact: Fashion & Fabrics by the pound
        ]]>

<description>
        <![CDATA[
        <object width="420" height="350"><param value="http://www.youtube.com/v/tqTYucTUiZ4"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/tqTYucTUiZ4" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="420" height="350"></embed></object>
I knew I recognized that guy from somewhere! Sean, formerly of Departures from the Past, is now performing irreverent and raunchy stand-up comedy at Clothes Contact in addition to Brainwash (Thursdays) and Canvas Gallery (Tuesdays). He'll make you laugh even while advising you that the leopard print mumu makes your ass look, well, BIG.

I popped in here just for a minute and ended up staying long enough to find a terrificly patterned set of 50s pajamas for $18 (this is a stellar set, I'd peg it at $75 or so if it were freshly laundered and pressed and presented in a tonier store) and a $5 red hoodie with a "Sexy" pull tag (in case anyone doesn't notice immediately). 

Alley, dressed nattily in Clothes Contact finds (photos at right), advised buying lightweight clothes since Clothes Contact charges by the pound, but if things are extra heavy accommodations might be made to adjust the price. My pal bought a plush mauve velvet curtain to fashion into her reconstructed overalls and paid just $10--a good amount less than such a good piece of cloth might usually bring. Sure, she'll need to have it cleaned but the price is a bargain including that cost. 

If you're not afraid to dig in and have a good eye and feel for quality fabric you can find some remarkable pieces to wear as-is or rework into your reconstructed fantasy wardrobe. 

This is Clothes Contact's 20th anniversary celebration, so if you get there soon you'll get a 20% discount. 

Retro City Fashions has six shopping locations in the  Bay area: Held Over, Clothes Contact, Sharks, La Rosa, Mission Thrift, and Mars. retrocity@retrocity.com

Storefront Tour, Location 5 

Neighborhoods have their own unique smells, usually formed by who lives and works there. In many New York neighborhoods, there is a sharp disjuncture between the combined cultural smells of a neighborhood’s residents and the lingering industrial warehouses or the growing commercial markets. Their co-existence makes for distinct olfactory blends. What could be the smell of the co-existence of yuppie immigrants, shoe rubber, new condominium cement, shelters, steel restaurant appliances and vintage furniture in this neighborhood? What else can you find? 

The South Street Seaport Fishmarket that was until recently located in Lower Manhattan, was steeped in tradition and the strong smell of fish guts. When it moved to its new, modern facility in the Bronx with efficient ventilation, the smell of fish was gone and with it the sense of tradition for many of the fish mongerers. 

One Smelling Committee member described the odor of his Crown Heights neighborhood in Brooklyn as a pungent co-mingling of mangoes and piss. In the mornings, Canal Street and Broadway smells like furry wet metal coated in cold fish oil and hot bacon grease. 

Over a hundred years ago, Canal St. still smelled fishy and marshy. When New York was the oyster-producing capital of the world, you could buy all-you-can-eat oysters raw or fried, for 6 cents there. Canal Street was converted from a Canal to a street in 1811. It channeled water from a fresh water lake called Collect Pond, just west of what is now Chinatown. When the lake festered and stank with disease and too many pollutants from tanneries, breweries and other industries, it was filled with dirt and turned into a landfill, on the edge of which was built the notorious Five Points slum. Canal Street was also filled and harbored the fishy smells of oyster saloons and brothels for years to come. 

Does your neighborhood have a distinct cultural or ethnic identity? Does it make it smell a particular way? What does your water smell like? What does the odor of your neighborhood say about the way you live? Please consider taking this map back to your neighborhood and mapping its smells on the blank side, and bring it back to the gallery or mail it to us for sharing.<br/>Tags: smell, shoes, art, new york, rubber, leather, nolita, odor, smelling committee, local odor<br /><br /><a href="http://www.platial.com/post/2568934">Map this on Platial</a><br />
