Description

Christine is back to talk about all things vintage.  We will be talking about sizing in vintage clothing and the best things she has ever found.  And we will be pulling back the curtain on thrift stores and how they work.  Spoiler:  the major thrift store chains are up to some shady stuff.  Get ready to be shocked and awed!Christine also dispels the myth that all people from the 50s/60s/70s were tiny and petite.  She recommends checking out Historical Fat People for proof that people of all sizes have always existed.   She will also explain why it's difficult to find larger sized vintage clothes and shoes (but it's not impossible).   Also:  Amanda gives an update on the #payup movement.  Check out this link for more information about the retailers and brands that are refusing to #payup.  You can also learn more about how these cancellations, discounts, and push-outs have affected workers financially by reading "Unpaid Billions."Do you have an episode suggestion?  A burning question?  Just want to say hi or share a story of your own?
