Being that I am a Melmacian, I cannot go out in public looking like my natural self, because if I do, then the Alien Task Force might find me. So, when I go out in public, I wear a used mechanical "human" suit that I bought in an Arquillian thrift store. Now, the suit is malfunctioning. grumble

Chaps are worn by horse riders to protect their legs whenever they ride through thorny vegetation.

Is there much thorny vegetation in Miami Beach?

Rodeo chaps, bongos and a sombrero. Don't ask...


I thought this was weird until I got to the sombrero and then it all made sense. No need to ask! :laughing:

I love shopping at Value Village. Retail clothing stores all have the same "trends" for the season and all look the same from store to store. VV has a huge variety of styles and colours and all sorts of stuff! If I feel funky (often) I can usually find something. Favorite place to shop.

I also sculpt, so I like to go through their nick knacks to find interesting pieces that can serve as settings for the characters I sculpt. Awesome place to shop.
