Fleamarket Steeze ala New York City

Side Note: Yes, Yes it is true I have been back from my road trip for sometime yet I have found it a challenge to keep up with ye ole' blog...So let's take it back to preschool and "for pretends" imagine that this post and the many that will follow were made months ago and that you are still really excited and curious to see how my trip ended up!!! I would really appreciate it! Here we goooooooo...

Saturday August 5th

Part of "the plan" in doing this cross-country-NY-post-up-deal was to try the New York fleamarket scene...Ms. Alice of Rockit Retro and I decided on the 25th St. Market, after some reccomendations and feedback from other vintage clothing dealers. We parlay in the a.m. just as most of our friends are going to bed, and caravan thru the streets of N.Y. Things are much more lax out here, as arriving at 5 in the morning proved to be way too early for anyone, vendors or sellers (deff not the Rosebowl scene) needlesstosay we where more than ready.

Having learned the value of sharing at a very young age, Alice and I created one giant booth of pure vintage love and gaurenteed good times!!
M.I.S.S. Crew was in the building or in the booth, and in full effection! Ms. Catzie of Dork Magazine and all-around cool lady fame, graced us with her presence, her funny, funny, presence and struck a few poses for the camera.
"Old Fart" tee, Rockit Retro

Dress, The Goods!

N.W.A. Video Ho Bathing Suit Sling Thing, The Goods!
Alice rocks a Black Terrycloth Gaucho Jumper, The Goods!


Being the fashion plate that Ms. Catzie is, she made sure that her Nike I.D. Air Max's matched her "sling".

Ok, get ready cause things get pretty silly right here. Catzie, I adore you, you are a super trooper fo' sho'!

Also had, Ms. Marina in the house...I really do feel fortunate to be surrounded by such positive, strong, independent and laid-back ladies. Here we have Marina showcasing a "Selena" inspired look by Rockit Retro:


Also had a visit from some of the
Undr-Crwn Family...

So a little money was made, a couple of contacts where made, more than one incident that required secuirity to escort folks away from our booth happened but the goodtimes had where by far the best and then these shoes found there way into my life...Sexy in shoe formation, Prince was so right,"Sexy never left", holla!!!!
