lost in the goodwill hunting

"oh my god!" that is pretty much all i could say by 8:05 am thursday morning at the goodwill down in the sellwood region... mind you the doors open at 8:00 am! 
holy smokes talk about your prime people watching. 
this place is insane. people were waiting outside for the doors to open. apparently the first in the morning slot, brings the stuff picked up directly from donations. so it's "brand new" no ones seen it yet. 
people were like zombies, rolling there carts up to the bins and just riffling through, grabbing anything. throwing it their cart. next bin. pants shuffled, shirts flying. oh grab that, get it, get it! 
don't forget to pull a blanket or sheet over the top of your cart so no one can see what you've scored! seriously.

holy crap.  
i mean what are these people doing with all this stuff they feel they really need.
all i know is that american's generate a lot of stuff! and i need to find hand sanitizer when i get to work. don't scratch your nose. no, you don't have an inch on your face..

wait, what is this? do i need this?


oooh barbie dolls... no. no. NO. 
you don't need those remember you still have some at home,,, that you got from the goodwill in seattle. 






remember. and you still aren't doing anything with them..






all this talk, makes hulk mad!!!
          okay calm now.


this is a kids toy... i found the shape to very interesting and the fact that there's a little girl doll stuck inside, floating in water even more interesting. wtf


jeff koons yer so tired. so uninspired.
 

i'm not really too sure what this is for.. i like that it works with demother... ya know DA mutha!  
sorry this is just what happens when i'm picking through big huge blue bins for an hour..




ahh old marketing. 
straight and to the point.











i'm sure you might be wondering what i did walk away with. some interesting things, three frames matching in color and size. a black velor short-sleeved jumpsuit with hood and silver piping. i mean how can you say not to that? some other fabric pieces. two small planter pots. two small brown medical bottles. 
my big score was finding addition cards and what was probably a life magazine trivia card set.... i just kept finding more and more cards the more shit i moved around. unfortunately there were some underneath the bins. i would have gotten them but they were smack dab in the middle and well, it was the goodwill floor... i really didn't need to go there!
