trash

the girls and i went shopping in town this weekend. the main aim of the excursion was to get shoes (aka takkies) for Lu, and the rest of us had the simple desire for obtaining yet more trashy jewelry for our collections. there is the most amazing store close to victoria street market, that has the greatest collection of crap jewelry one can get their hands on. needless to say, once the show mission was completed, which was rather rapid and painless, we headed over to said store. about 40 minutes later, having handed over only 40 bucks, i came out beaming, with a packet full of wonderful assortments and gadgets, like 'gold' chains with little red hearts on it, for a whole R7,50. the bonus was that it came with matching earrings too. so now i have so many cheap, fake imitation gold necklaces; more than my little heart could desire. and they are 'antiques' according to the little old man behind the counter; me thinks that means they have simply been around on his shelf for over 10 years. i also dont think he had never seen such excited girls wanting so much stuff; he looked stunned and bewildered. it was a morning to remember.

so now i can glitter and sparkle my way through life, with a complete collection of trash to place around my neck. im such a lucky girl.
