I opened it in 1998 and was there business for 3.5 years. One year into I started selling on eBay. I was making more money on eBay in a day than the store was producing in a week. I had a three year lease and dreamed of the day I could close and work out of my home. No overhead, no special tax license, employee, etc.
The name of the store referenced recycling (or upcycling as I prefer to call it) and was a place where I could display and sell a lot of what I was making at the time.
I've never missed owning a retail store.
I did met Chris (The Red Diamond).
That's one of my paintings in the background and I made the feathered Go-Go girl dresses towards the bottom left of the photo.
That's Chris on the left hand side wearing a vintage sterling silver mesh bracelet that I gave him when we were going steady.
Check out those dressing rooms! I miss them.
I made those white furry pants that guy is wearig.
