One of my Fav NYC events

I'm a MAJOR clothes horse!! And since WLS I've cleaned out everything in my closet above a size 16--YEAH ME!! I was a 22 the morning of surgery.

There's an event here in the city where if anyone has clothes that are too big or your like me and need some transition clothes you can get some great stuff for little $$.... Here's the details, I wanted to pass along one of my favorite things to some of my fellow NY'ers who may not have heard about it. Last year I volunterred to help, met some great people and got first dibs on some great clothes that this year I've donated back since I'm too skinny to wear them :D (Man, that so ROCKS to say that!):D

5th annual Fat Girl Flea Market: NYC, Sat 9/29 The 5th annual Fat Girl Flea Market is an amazing and cheap shopping frenzy! The fleamarketeers, as they call themselves, collect clothes in sizes XL to 6X and above. Women from all over the country donate their unworn or gently loved clothing. Many still have tags and all are in great condition. Everything from jeans to coats to swimwear to suits to formal dresses can be found, with nothing more than $10 and most items under $5. This year's flea market will take place from 11am 8pm, on Saturday September 29, 2007, at the Lesbian, Gay, Bi, and Transgender Community Center, located at 208 West 13th St, between 7th and Greenwich Avenues. Admission $8. Cash only. The Fat Girl Flea Market is a fundraising event to benefit NOLOSE. For more information or to donate clothing, see www.fatgirlfleamarket.com or call (206) 337-1573.

 

 

So awesome...thanks for the info!!

That sounds so cool! I'm really going to try to go.

Thanks for sharing, sweetie.

TOO funny!  I've gotten rid of the same sizes!  Everything above the 16s!!!  Wish I was in NYC!  Darn, I miss all the fun!

wow, never heard of that before and wish i knew about it sooner as I would have not given away all of my plus size clothing (okay a lot of it actually went for sale on ebay, i confess) but still lol  anyway, still sounds like a great event.
