How it works
- At a thrift store, you're searching for a crossdresser's treasure, but the hunt can be a little messy.
- When I was little, I used to accompany my dad on our weekly runs to the dump.
- Dumps were where people brought trash and things they no longer needed or wanted.
- It wasn't uncommon for us to come home with something someone else had discarded but that we decided we could use.
- You may be confronted by row after row of clothing arranged roughly by type and size—and every item is one of a kind.
Details worth keeping
This was long before sanitary landfills and transfer stations. Remember the saying, "One man's trash is another man's treasure"?
