Flea Circus

The Atomic Cafe trailer Finally made a trip to the Fairfax Flea Market this past weekend, with specific instructions to “not come home with any furniture or useless antiques”. My house in Santa Barbara was packed with both of those things. I would wander into thrift shops and come out with major dents in my wallet and cause my walls to bulge at their seams.

Friends would get calls asking to borrow their pick up trucks so that I could get a seven foot tall prop coffin home (which once caused me to run out of a bar, yelling over my shoulder “THE COFFIN IS OUT IN THE RAIN!” because I hadn’t yet gotten it through my front door ), or “Do you think this antique school desk will fit in your trunk?”. Sometimes, I would find my way home without assistance, although dropping a trash bag full of doll parts in the middle of State Street one day did turn a number of heads – no pun intended.
I behaved myself, and left the big pieces for other buyers, only come home with a few small jewelry items. I got some earrings, a ring, and a set of rosary beads which burnt my hand when I picked them up.
Seriously. The cross on them had been sitting in the sun, or at least, that’s what I told myself.

Did you get the 50mm/F1.8 ? If you haven’t, look at the 50mm/f1.4 (its a little more expensive, but its very sharp – I have one myself. I use this one for infrared).
I see “retro” crap in California is the same “retro” crap available at the nominal farm estate sale here in Ohio. Sometimes I go looking for silver, but thanks to antiques roadshow, that little secret is gone (douchebags).
In unrelated news, Paris Hilton seems to be making another run at headbands as a fashion. I think a rehashing of your stand on headbands is warranted, punctuated with those pictures you made of that idiot huffer girl from Intervention. But don’t be too harsh, because given my obsessive compulsion for broken women, huffer girls may be a future girlfriend.

I have the 1.8, but have been eyeing that 1.4 for awhile now. If things pick up for me this summer I’m going to grab one.
And I still hate headbands with an unmatched fury.

Dig that old view camera.
Looks like a flea market with real character – maybe it’s they who stole all of Missouri’s character, then? Those dastardly bastards… but who knows…. this state is just waiting for a post-apocalyptic Fallout world to happen….
