Vintage and Hip Hop Unite: Photoshoot at Thrift Core Headquarters


Thrifting and vintage can lead to many creative careers. I share a list of the Top 50 Dream Jobs for Thrifters, but the possibilities are truly endless. I'm getting a rep as the chick who thrifts, takes pictures, and has a colorful apartment full of vintage. The result is unique opportunities every time I check my inbox!

Recently a music promoter asked if I could take pictures of local rapper Strife at my casa, the proverbial Thrift Core headquarters! I agreed, then promptly stuffed my vintage mess out of the way in my bedroom for the illusion of a clean pad! I hope they like the photos. This is a small preview.

I want to branch into renting vintage for events and photos and doing very creative photoshoots one day. What are your vintage and thrifting related plans?

    1. Yes indeed, the money you earn from it could pay for the warehouse to store it all ;) Perhaps run a vintage museum, ah, the possibilities...

    1. I wish I had some ink ribbon for that old typewriter, you guessed it right, they're two pink vintage bunny toys. Of course you'd have a good eye to spot small cute vintage bits :) !

    1. Yep, I sold the table it once sat on so now it sadly sits on the floor. ;p Had to move it out of the way for pictures. People have asked to buy it but I can't give it up yet, I want to use it for teaching classes and art projects...

  8. My first thought when I saw your photos was that you did a deep cleaning or really a deep organizing of your place. I have seen your other photos of when you were in the process of reorganizing. Your place really looks great and with your 'new friend' Strife in the photos, super cool! Your mind must be going a thousand miles a minute with all the great ideas you have.

    1. It's -constantly- back and forth between really clean and really messy while I work, I haven't gotten where I want to yet with organizing, but I'm working hard at it.

  16. Dreaming of mouth-watering, competition-worthy, low-and-slow meats? Offset smokers, also known as barrel smokers or horizontal offset smokers are often thought of as the traditional smoker for their simple https://proelectricsmoker.com/best-smoker-thermometer/, yet effective design. Powered by charcoal and/or wood, they’re ideal for anyone who wants to master the conventional way of smoking, and, cook a large quantity of deliciously smoked meat in the process. But, when it comes to buying an offset smoker, any old thing won’t do! The market’s full of cheap options that leak smoke, use a tonne of fuel and quite frankly, just don’t work well. Instead of chancing it, you’re obviously doing your research!

  17. A juicer, obviously, extracts juice from your ingredients, which will predominantly be fruits and vegetables. There are two main types of juicers – high-speed juicers and low-speed juicers. High-speed juicers, sometimes called centrifugal juicers, use a spinning disc blade to chop up and juice your fruits and vegetables. This is the quickest way to juice your ingredients Easy to Clean Juicer for saving time, but it’s also noisy and creates a lot of heat. These causes produce to lose its natural nutrients juicing with breville, so the juice you get won’t have as many health benefits.We provide top rated reviews about best Juicer.
