The September 11 OT is NOT Vintage
You might be surprised what counts as vintage. That 2001 forever 21 top buried in the back of your closet? Vintage! That white cotton t-shirt that came in a 6-pack in 2003? Vintage! Vintage is just clothing that is 20+ years old. While higher quality clothing is more likely to survive, 20 year old fast fashion still counts as vintage. I will show some examples of what is and what isn’t vintage below. And before you say, “This was all made up to sell clothing!” Yeah, it was Continue reading The September 11 OT is NOT Vintage
The September 8 Day Thread Is Batty
When I was young child, I visited my El Salvador with my family. My grandmother’s house was pretty typical for the time, open and breezy. The living room and kitchen consisted of three walls(again, cooler) and the bathroom had no ceiling. You do not want a ceiling in the most humid room in a humid country. Now imagine little baby Moo. 5 years old. Tiny, cute and with a hefty dose of anxiety just constantly permeating throughout her body. But the bathroom? She wasn’t anxious of no bathroom. The lack of ceiling? Why that was pratical! Her fear that la … Continue reading The September 8 Day Thread Is Batty

The OT recalls that one time they got sick on a bus
When I was a kid, my entire family took a bus to Puerto Vallarta. I got so sick my parents almost did something out of character for them at the time. They either wanted to rent a car and drive back to my grandpa’s house or get a hotel in Tonalá. I don’t remember, and I’m not calling my mom just to ask. Anyway, I know we were in Tonalá and that I was sick as hell. I was so sick my poor dad had to carry me to the clinic. I don’t know how this was resolved, but I … Continue reading The OT recalls that one time they got sick on a bus
The OT Never Went to Tlaquepaque
Tlaquepaque is a city in Jalisco, Mexico. Famous for it’s pottery, I know it as the city I always confuse with Tonalá, where I got so sick as child I still associate the city with it.
