Thrifting Uglies

After the successes of last weekend't thrifting, I wanted to balance it with some awesome ugliness that was encountered.

 This scary, scary doll was actually a lamp.  For reals.  I almost yelled in fear when I caught a glimpse of it. 
My favourite thing is the green price tag slapped on her cheek.

 Bag o' Barbies!

And just for some on-theme fun,  we made sure to check out the wedding dress section.  I came up with a new game by asking Megan: "ok, if you made this into a strapless dress and put it on the hottest person you know, would it be okay?".  The answer for this one was no.

The answer for this nice buttercup yellow one was also no. Turns out the wedding dresses at Goodwill aren't that cute.  Go figure.

  1. That is officially the grossest. You should have bought the barbies though; you could have created table centrepieces around them for your wedding.

  2. There were almost enough barbies that we could have used them as place card holders at every seat.
