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?

Oh wow! This is awesome! You never really know what opportunities might come your way. So unique and creative! I commend that producer for having good taste.
ReplyDeleteAw, thank ya Blessy! :)
DeleteId love to get into hiring vintage too that way I can keep my bits while making money and be able to buy more coz Id have an excuse lol.
ReplyDeleteYes indeed, the money you earn from it could pay for the warehouse to store it all ;) Perhaps run a vintage museum, ah, the possibilities...
DeleteI love how the photos look especially the one on the couch. You should have taken a picture of him surrounded by all of your robots
ReplyDeleteOh, we'll have to do that one next time!
DeleteThis is my first visit to thriftcore - and it sure won't be my last! I need to spend a bunch of time here to catch up with it all!
ReplyDeleteI thrift, too. Can't HELP myself!
Thanks Rebecca!
Deleteummm... that is the coolest thing i've ever heard of. score! and that is the coolest dude i've ever seen. love the hat. the couch shot is awesome, so is the typewriter (although his fans will probably say "what the hell is that thing?")
ReplyDeleteThe fedora was taken from my wardrobe ;) Suits him and the tone of the pictures perfectly.
DeleteLove the pictures! Happy for you for a new opportunity too.
ReplyDeleteWas he writing rhymes on your old typewriter?
Love that you styled the two pink bunny(?) friends on the couch next to him.
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 :) !
DeleteDon't you have an overhead projector around there somewhere? I always thought that was something really cool to use as home decor!
ReplyDeleteYep, 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...
DeleteMy 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.
ReplyDeleteIt'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.
DeleteThe first one is my favorite, so cool!
ReplyDeleteThank you! :)
DeleteWhat a cool thing to do! I love that first shot, and he looks like he's having a good time with it, too. And yes, the fedora is perfect - looks like it was made for him!
ReplyDelete'Twas fun times. I need to schedule more photoshoots, squeeze in the time for them somehow ;)
DeleteCool little pad you have Van! Congrats on the photo shoot!
ReplyDeleteI love the color contrasts you have going on! Brilliant. I adore the goldfish! Your shop is great too. Congrats on the shoot.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! And congratulations on the new "job".... :-)
ReplyDeleteOh, and I absolutely LOVE the read chair he is sitting in in the last photo!
*read* ...that should be "red"
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to incorporate vintage with another avenue of earning income! Awesome!
ReplyDeleteDreaming 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!
ReplyDeleteA 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.
