...serving up your daily dish.
Good bye frump, hello funk. The window dressing at Montclair's Saint Barnabas Thrift Shop has gotten a make-over since the new manager, Dawn Candy, arrived last October. Her Valentine's day display of black leather-clad mannequins has been stopping motorists, pedestrians, even bikers dead in their tracks. "Almost everything in the window is sold," Dawn told Baristanet, (and that would be the gently used red cha-cha heels, red lingerie, and pointy black boots). "But you can still get the black leather lace up vest for just $20." Luckily, it didn't fit. (51 North Fullerton. 973-509-2060)

So in other words not as good as Cro Magnon Man from Boston?

Gee, Walleroo, I can't wait to hear who you have a crush on so that I can make fun of you mercilously, too.

Actually, Miss Martta, I'm guessing the lad covets the black leather lace-up vest for himself. He'll wear it, unlaced so his PETA shirt shows, when he hops onto his Vespa, imagining himself Sonny Barger with a cause.
Is anyone else also amused by the fact that someone named Dawn Candy is now doing windows full of B&D wear?

Yeah, I noted that, too. Not to poke fun at Ms. Candy but I wonder if that's her real name. It's the perfect name for the owner of such a boutique.

What I think I appreciate most, as above, is that very witty people post here and make me laugh. Not as much as Howard Dean does, but plenty.

And Ms. Coulter is also oft photographed in black leather, walleroo.

That leather vest would never fit over my pouch. And no, Ann Coulter is not my type. I'd prefer Anna Nicole Smith before the weight loss.
Over to you, Miss Martta.
Ooooh ooooh aaaaah aaaaah.

Beleive it or not, it's a real name - I actually know her (from many moons ago, not sure if she remembers me).

Posted by: Miss Martta (8T) | Jan 27, 2006 3:10:39 PM
Yes indeed, Miss M. But not exclusively. Leggy is good too.
Posted by: walleroo | Jan 27, 2006 3:13:25 PM
Hey, I think that vest would fit me!! Nobody else go buy it till I get there.

See the breaking glass
In the underpass
See the breaking glass
In the underpass
Warm leatherette
Hear the crushing steel
Feel the steering wheel
Hear the crushing steel
Feel the steering wheel
Warm leatherette
Warm leatherette
Warm leatherette
Melts on your burning flesh
You can see your reflection
In the luminescent dash
Warm leatherette
A tear of petrol
Is in your eye
The hand brake
Penetrates your thigh
Quick -- Let's make love
Before you die
On warm leatherette
Warm leatherette
Warm leatherette
Warm leatherette
Warm leatherette
Join the car crash set
