Be Careful Who You Give Your Clothes To..
I clean my closet out at least twice a year. I usually give it to the regulars, my Filipino mommy, Haole Girl, and CJ. My Filipino mommy sends the clothes to her family in the Philippines and I often see my personal fashion show on Haole Girl and CJ. I never really thought about what happens to the clothes if they don’t want it–until the other night.
The girls met at R&B Black Angus Steakhouse ,I mean come on…if you sit at the bar it’s 50% off pupu all night. As it was time to leave, one of my posse gave me a ride home and on the way she shared that she had clothes that she wanted to giveaway and asked if I wanted it. Ok, normally I would have jumped at the chance– the only thing stopping me was the fact that we weren’t really the same size. Not that she was big…I mean she was just way taller than me. Anyway I accepted her offerings with grace since she was so insistent and thought what the heck? I can give it away. Still the thought of new clothes piqued my curiosity I couldn’t wait…so I greedily opened the Safeway bag and spilled the contents on the bed. The clothes were too big…
The next day my trusty gay entourage called me for “girl time.” The “girls” that I was going to meet were what I could call more voluptuous than me so of course…I brought the clothes.
The next day I got a gushing post on Facebook from them saying how much they “luv, luv luv the clothes.” Then it dawned on me–what if my friend was shopping in Safeway, innocently walking through the pasta aisle when low and behold she sees her white halter with turquoise beading on my ‘tranny?” Honestly, she may be jaw dropping horrified for an instant( the image is cracking me up right now) however you really have no say in it… bottom line, you gave it away.
So the next time you clean out your closet, be ready for the homeless beer sluggin chick hanging out at 505 to be sporting one of your mini skirts…
