Buckle your seat belts for this one.....

A genuine playboy bunny belt buckle on a belt in the girls section.

My daughter makes 'finds' in all local 'thrift shops'.

My daughter specializes in shoes by reselling them online.

My other daughters bf once specialized in 'wrangler jeans'.

Thrift shop finds can be rewarding!

That's funny! It just goes to show how innocent the workers were that they didn't recognize it. Or maybe they had a good laugh over it.

My daughter once bought an awful set of white loafers with gold trim around the bottom. Turns out they were worth a lot of money.

Another time we bought a lovely, finely made formal for a school dance.

You never know what you'll find.

I was hoping you found a D. Kwon video tape.

I once found a really nice backgammon set with all of the pieces in a leather case at a Goodwill thrift store.

An XXX video that arrived in a plain package all g with a copy of the Karma Sutra...

My never Mo grandmother found a beautiful Black Forest cuckoo clock in her local DI in Ogden.

It needed to be restored at the clockmaker's. But with a little extra money than she originally paid for her find, it was well worth the investment.

It had the little German boy and girl who came out on the hour, in place of the cuckoo bird. It was sweet to watch, and the music to listen to.

She had two other Black Forest cuckoo clocks in her house. To go with her Tiffany clock, and two grandfather clocks. She was a collector!

I don't remember who posted this awhile back. This couple went to a Deseret store and found and bought a wine rack there. The lady, evidently Mormon, working at the store did not know what it was.

Eric, that was me and my wife. It was a Salt Lake City DI. - Richard

Did you notice a nice selection of coffee makers for sale at your local DI ?


I have the last several times that I was DI. I was stunned. That is big change in the last 3 decades.

Apparently LDS Inc has given in and decided to cash in on this item as they can. I know. A lot of people will say: "so??, that is not any big deal"

Yah, well, you were not raised by my super militant MORmON parents back in the 1960's either, who absolutely would have..... I am struggling to think of the word, Oh yah, now I remember -$hit over such a thing!!!

There are quite a few Mormons who do drink coffee and probably wine too.

It's also quite likely that the DI made a corporate decision to sell what people are donating, because there will be someone to buy that wine rack or coffee maker.

That's just sound economic sense, from a business POV.

my dad bought a car there once, 0gden use to sell them.

which is a book about being the spouse of someone gay. That was YEARS ago.

I decided about 2 years ago that maybe I was ready to really read it as it made me too depressed before. So I ordered it as a used book off of Amazon. It had a DI sticker on it.

I wonder if I bought back my own book.

There was an article some years back about a guy that bought childrens books at DI and when he got them home found his name written inside the books in crayon.

Seems they were his childhood books.

Awww!!!

While I was living out of state, my brother passed away several years ago. My dad gave most of my brother's furniture to DI. He told me that there were several large indoor lights that he didn't know what they were for, that he gave to DI. He said he got some funny looks from a few of the people who worked there when he donated the lights. They were marijuana growing lights. I wonder what they did with those lights.

ziller once bought this movie from DI ~

We all should have a friend as loyal as Napoleon. :)

Love that movie!

Who can forget Napoleon found his prom suit at his local DI? (That and the dance tape.)

;)

When you say the girls section, do you mean children or are you referring to it as the women's section?

Because if they're making Playboy bunny belt buckles for little girls (or it was done at least) it's another notch on the rather long, disturbing post of how we sexualize little girls.

I had to divert around a lady with 133565435688 kids in tow to get to the collectables. I walked through the teen girls section when it caught my eye. I am sure the workers thought a bunny belt buckle was adorable easter wear.

I was thinking something along those lines too, if someone is truly that naive of the rest of the US in the last 10-15 years.

They sold those belts in Hot Topic and other "counter-culture" stores in the mall.

The Spice Girls did that to my daughter's generation. Or they just picked up on the cultural conditioning for the Millenials.

The little girls in my children's ages were conditioned in gradeschool to be obsessed with body images, etc. as young as pre-school onward.

Some boys too, but girls moreso than the boys were constantly worried about gaining weight to the point of becoming bulimic or anorexic.

That was unheard of in my generation. Not that girls didn't suffer from eating disorders. In my generation that usually occurred later, like high school or college.

I don't think it's been quite as available and consumed at the same pace we see today and the pace the culture shifts these days is quite speedy.

This is what I'm watching unfold in my current area of work with elementary children and I'm trying to understand how we will mitigate the negative effects.
