What I do for a bunch of Starburst (Status: road trip)

Guess what the Thrift Gods left for me at Volunteers of America (Status: I'm killin' it lately at the thrifts)

Apologies for the crappy cell phone pictures that accompany this post but I did not have my camera with me and there was a very light sprinkle of rain, with snow set to begin in a few hours, leaving me pressed for time.  Better pictures latter, promise.

May I present an overview of the 2013 20th Century Cincinnati show (Status:Like the worlds largest vintage store)
