My Top Three Amazing Junk Store Finds (this weekend)

Being both poor and possessed of a bohemian spirit, junk stores are a goldmine for me. Sometimes I just come home with chipped tea cups and vintage suitcases, but other times I find things far more awesome. This weekend was one of those times

1. VINTAGE PLAYBOY MAGAZINE

This is not just any old porn unit. This is the Playboy Edition that has the first interview with Roman Polanski after the Manson killings- it's pretty dark. Also, it has a whole bunch of hilarious old timey cigarette advertisements.
SMOKING. YES.
Gambling... manly.
I don't really get this. Are they protesters? Are they queuing for something? Mystery.
Also, porn. It's a lot more arty than it is now but the subject matter is fairly consistent.
I have two thirds of an art history degree and I approve of this spread (haha. 'spread' ).
2. JUMANJI BOARD GAME

Jumanji: Are YOU game?
I KNOW. OH MY GOD. SO AWESOME. SO SO AWESOME.
If I stop blogging anytime soon it'll probably be because I'm off in a parallel dimension on a madcap adventure with a young, heavily bearded Robin Williams.

3. THE BEST CHAIR, EVER


Ok so this didn't exactly come from a thrift store. I was walking down Cuba street and it was sitting outside a restaurant, so I was like 'SEVEN SECOND RULE!' and I grabbed it and ran away. I don't know if it was actually being given away but I didn't run very fast so I'm sure someone would have stopped me if I was stealing, right? 
Anyone, it's both the fanciest chair I've ever owned and the only chair in my new apartment right now so I'm pretty stoked with it. Yay chair!

  1. Um, Steve Martin isn't in Jumanji... it's Robin Williams. Cool chair & porn though! (from Alyse)

  2. I know! I got confused, I was watching clips of Spy Hard on youtube while writing this. Fixed :)
