For the girls of Thumped (1 Viewer)

[Jill Hives]

I was just cleaning up my room and shoving clothes back in to my closet when I realized I have entirely too many pairs of jeans, etc. I would say 3/4 of which I never wear. I have no room for this stuff. I need to downsize.

A group of my friends/acquaintances back in Boston would get together twice a year and do clothing swaps. Basically it was a reason to get together some weekend afternoon to drink, chat and have snacks plus occasionally go home with something great.

Everyone would bring things that were in good condition but for what ever reason they did not wear or use. We even extended it to beauty products, handbags, shoes...anything we didn't want but it would be a shame to throw out. One person's trash is another person's treasure or what not. At the end what ever was left and unwanted we gave to a charity shop.

Any interest out there?

That's a pretty cool idea.

i like it!

Cool, count me in! I tried to organise one of these a couple of years ago, but I got lazy and never did it. When I moved house over the summer, I got rid of NINE bin bags of clothes. They went to a clothing sale some chix were having. But I'm sure I could use a bit of a clear-out again.

Sounds like fun, too!

I had exactly the same idea for guys. But instead of clothes it was condoms.

I have some illuminous ones that weren't pre-coital. They're quite a find. Must have been that Belarusian guy.

Ha! We just held a clothes swap a week or two a go with a bunch of mates in my gaff. Lots of people were dubious at first and lots of people also thought they'd just bring some stuff up and leg it, but it turned into a day of loads of my women friends hanging out, drinking wine and trying on clothes.

It was awesome though. People got a whole new bunch of stuff for free, in a pretty stress free environment, causing minimal damage to the world in general (no sweatshops, no underpaid service staff, no environmental costs,no corporate fatsos making money off us), while hanging out with friends and friendly faces.

Also, we had about 6 bags worth of quite nice stuff to send to charity shops at the end of it.

Good luck with this if you get it together.

the kicker is there were 6 bags of stuff brought to the party. am i right?

 

[Jill Hives]

Maybe we should try this after Christmas when everyone is broke and has stuff they were given over the holidays that will just sit on the shelf?
