GHOSTS
IN THE CLOSET
By
Theo Kogan/Courtesy of MOLI
Ever wonder who wore that vintage item
before you?
I went to a vintage store today called
Beacon's Closet, which is in my
neighborhood and is truly like a second
closet to me. I get things there and I
bring my old stuff there; it's a
revolving door of clothing. They buy,
sell and trade clothes, bags, shoes,
jewelry, etc, and you get either store
credit or cash — it's usually better to
take the store credit than the cash, you
get more value in store credit, but it
depends on what you want. |

Sometimes
I can feel it calling me from my
apartment, and I just know there will be
the most perfect dress for stage or a
top or shoes waiting for me there. And I
am usually right on when that happens.
The energy is calling me.
They donate the stuff they won't trade
with you — if you are willing to part
with it for no $ or store credit to a
women's shelter.
Today they took nothing of mine. My
spring-cleaning turned out a bag, really
of Halloween duds. So I can't say I am
surprised they didn't want it because
they are seasonally strict. But I
couldn't part with my load of sparkly
crap and I plan to bring it back before
Halloween and I bet you they will take
it. Disclaimer: I usually donate my
extraneous goods.
While I was waiting for them to go
through my Halloween-ery, I searched
through the racks. I wasn't particularly
in the mood to shop, but as I squeaked
the hangers around one by one, I got the
rhythm and got into it. I found a copper
sequined sweater jacket that was just
lovely and a total eye catcher, super
metallic. (Nicknamed "eagle eyes" by my
family, I was always finding coins and
jewelry on the street as a kid.) I held
it up to look in the mirror and it
looked just right. I found a couple of
dresses and decided to go into the
dressing "stall" and try everything on.
