Unicorn shirt!

Unicorn shirt bought at Material Objects

$9.45 (plus tax)

It's a crazy shirt. I don't know where I'll wear it but I had to have it.

Louise Brooks! again!

Portrait of an Anti-Star bought on Amazon.com

$28.99 (including shipping)

As far as I know this book is out-of-print. It's a nice addition to my LB collection.

Shipping and handling is why I try not to buy online.
It's cheaper to order it from your local stores.

Cd

Mary Jane Lamond's Lan Duil bought on Amazon.com

$6.81 (including shipping)

I've been looking for this cd in my local music stores with no luck so I bought it online.

Buying online is okay if you can't get it locally.

Otherwise, try to buy locally. It's better for the economy.

1st Edition Book (American)

American first edition of Richard Adams' The Plague Dogs bought at Yes Books

$26.25 (including tax)

There is a British edition that came before this one but this is the first American edition of this book. That's important to know.
On ebay it's being sold for $75 right now, so I got a deal on it.

It's in good condition with only a few minor flaws (sun damage).

Inside the book I found the following school request form from who I assume was the original owner of this book. I wonder where she is now?

Louise Brooks Shirt

Louise Brooks shirt bought at cafepress.com

$26.99 (including tax & shipping)

I've been looking for a good Louise Brooks shirt for a while now.
I realized the other day that because I haven't been spending much money I seem to have quite a bit of it. So I went on a bit of an online spending spree.
I'll post the items as they arrive.

Coin Wrap

Blue Coin Wrap for Belly Dancing bought at Siempre Mas

$14.96 ("original" price $19.95)

Siempre Mas does this thing where they take the new items they just got in, mark it with a price, cross that price out, and then mark it with a lower price. It seems like you're getting a deal or that everything is always on sale but really they're just tricking you into buying something you might not have bought. It's a scam.
But it works for them and most tourists don't know any better.

I bought this for my belly dancing class with Ayperi which was $60 for 7 lessons.

Classic Movies

Four Charlie Chaplin movies (City Lights, The Gold Rush, Modern Times, and The Great Dictator) and Grand Hotel bought at Bull Moose Music

$72.30

Seems like an awful lot of money to be spending during a recession but I just HAD to get these.
Each of the Chaplin films was $14-$15 and Grand Hotel was $8. They were used copies sold to Bull Moose by the family of an elderly man who had passed away. They are all in excellent condition. There goes my spending money for the next two months because this really is the last I'll be spending on frivolous things for a while.

Hat

Hat made in Peru bought at Queen of Hats

$25.20

This was originally a $40 hat. The Queen of Hats is having a winter sale so I got it for less.
I wanted a cloche hat but I had to settle for this as I would never have an outfit to match nor a reason to wear a cloche.

Wolf

Guitar Wolf Cd bought at Bull Moose Music

$8.37

A used copy of Loverock. It kinda shows it. Dinged up and all. I listened to it an realized that I don't really like Guitar Wolf's music but I like the idea of them so...

Monkey

Monkey Journey to the West Cd bought at Bull Moose Music

$14.67

A Chinese opera by Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett. I wish I could see it performed but this will have to do.
