Online Shopping Away the Recession Blues at Goodwill. Why not?

We have found yet another reason to celebrate in these massively unfortunate economic times: We learned from a post on ASSME that Goodwill, yea, seriously, Goodwill!, is simply spilling over with designer duds for nothing. OK, so maybe they were making fun of the New York Times for their condescending reporting on this “trend”, but we decided that we need to check it out for ourselves anyway. Read on past the jump to see what we uncovered in this bargain paradise. 

Not only can you go to your local Goodwill and check out their goods, but you can also shop their “collections” online! Every item is pictured, and if it’s designer, there’s a picture of the label too, à la eBay. We couldn’t believe some of the things on there were going for such low prices. Christian Dior, Burberry, vintage furs… there were some real finds, and most for under $20. (There were also a significant number of Vera Bradley bags. Sorority girl guilt, perhaps?) I love a deal!!!

We’ve pulled out a few of our favorites below.

9 yr. Olds Portraying Scarface: WoW. WTF.


EMBED-Scarface School Play - Watch more free videos

Umm…really?

When I was in elementary school, one of my friends had to turn down the role of Ariel in our school's production of The Little Mermaid because her mom thought the bikini top was revealing and inappropriate. That's how I got the part. Being second best and having a cool mom is a lot better than being first best and not having a cool mom. Remember that, kids.

Anyway. "You do coke and kill people." That's appropriate for a 9 year-old. And guns? Who doesn't want to play with guns at school? "Son of a B?" WoW.

I guess I'm appalled at this video. I can't decide because I'm also a bit jealous that I didn't get to play Elvira Hancock in my school play. Ariel just seems so juvenile now looking back.

"Lesson number two: Don't get high on your own supply." Man, I would have been fudging awesome in that role.

Thank Tosh.O for this gem.
