Freedom on a budget

While the glitterati sip champagne at the Vogue Vintage Market, I opted for a humbler quest—a pilgrimage to 2nd Avenue Thrift Superstore in Laurel.

The spoils? Select speeches by Malcolm X, a few Washington Informer newspapers chronicling the '68 riots, a wooden Afro pick, a Betty Davis vinyl, and a pink and green cotton dashiki.

Freedom on a budget? That is the only way to live.

Keep your hoop earrings large,

P.S. The dashiki is vintage Versace. You gotta play to win.
