Go-Go Retread Threads: Magic Cool Bus Makes a Stop

What a great idea! Amy and I stopped by the vintage clothing "bus stop" to check out the "wears" on offer from Go-Go's Retread Threads, a mobile resale clothing store that's "out and about" all over Baltimore and surrounding areas. The proprietess buys and sells "gently used, fashion-forward and vintage" women's (and some men's) clothing. She's on Facebook and can be reached via e-mail at gogosbaltimore@gmail.com.


Get on the Go Go Bus!


Step right up: "wears" on offer inside!


Go-Go Retread Threads kept its word; our organs were stimulated by the threads - but not harvested!


"You're either on the bus or off the bus," muses vintage clothing shopper Amy Linthicum, as she explores the Go-Go Retread Threads Bus.


Is the mighty Oz behind that curtain?

Billy McConnell and This Year's Model

Late in the day, Amy and I ran into the always sartorially resplendent Billy "Bardot" McConnell with his latest young nubile girlfriend. Nice gal, though I forget her name, and she and Billy apparently wear the same jean size because Billy was squeezed into her denims (though the zipper burst, providing much-needed ventilation on this sunny day).


Rumor has it that the secret to rocker-filmmaker Billy McC's youthful vitality is drinking the blood of young nubiles. What exactly IS in your cup, Billy?


Billy McConnell always picks a winner


"I saw these guys at Woodstock!" Billy boasts


"P.U. - was that you, Billy?"


"No way, I didn't cut the cheese!" Billy cries, fanning away the evidence
