Trash Tuesday #107: Where Getting it Cheap is Part of the Esthetic
by Pasadena Adjacent
Let’s here it for one last Trash Tuesday. Late 80’s? Before areas like Fontana gave way to massive development, Mr V. used to take the ‘Editor’ on side trips to the city dump. Kismit.
Before that, the ‘Editor’ on her way home from school, spent many happy afternoons raiding the dumpster behind Pier One Imports. This compulsion for ‘cast offs’ has deep roots. I see the beauty in orphans.
Our Editor: In my neighborhood, trash collection takes place on a Tuesday. The night before is a good time to canvas the neighborhood for castaways. It’s great sport. I use Tuesday on my blog to post my treasures. The phrase “getting it cheap is part of the esthetic’ was coined by my photographer friend D Gordon
