Things coming up and this shelf I found outside and Pam is awesome. Change your clock.

February was quite the interesting month. It snowed literally every other day. It was 0 or below almost every day. We got a new CEO at work. (Nice work David Munar!) And work, work, work, work.

Not much to report on the second hand side - but I did do a few things:

Pam's Goodbye to Wham Bam Pam Clothing Swap

This was a great event and shame on anyone who said they were going to and didn't because they missed a hell of a good time.

Not only was the act awesome, LOOK AT THIS COSTUME!! HAND MADE!!
I'm excited when I can sew a button correctly.

It was a little bitter sweet because Pam was getting rid of a lot of her burlesque costumes. Wham Bam Pam, Pam's stage name, went around the world and US amazing her audience with her beauty - both herself and her epic hand-made costumes - her spunky dances and her adorable raunchiness. I will miss Wham Bam Pam, but I commend Pam for knowing when it was time to hang up the tassels.

Don't worry though cause you can still see her host at various shows throughout Chicago. Here's to you Wham Bam Pam, for being one of the founders of the re-birth of Burlesque in Chicago. Also, Pam is great :)




On a side note, I learned that Chicos makes good things and their sizes are way different than anyone else out there. I kept eyeing these amazing work clothes, but the tags said size 1 and 2. I'm a size 16. Towards the end of the night, I picked a piece up, realized that it was a lie and then was explained how the sizes worked. Donna Touch's mom is great and I have a brand new work wardrobe!
