Bill's Cheap/Unique Secondhand/Vintage Boutique

Hooooey! Come on down yo Bill's Cheap/Unique Secondhand/Vintage Boutique: Where people come to look different! All Rights Reserved.

We got a sale goin' on, Heck! Who am I kiddin'? We always got a sale going on!

Come on by and buy garments that grandfather wore or that quirky neighbour who smelled like cabbage and was probably a pedophile.

Hey there young lady, what's your name?

June.

June what?

Li.

Why don't you tell me a bit about yourself?

I go to school.

Where?

U of T.

Well now, ain't that a bowl of fried dandelions. What brought you here today?

I like being unique.

Shit! Ain't that appropriate.

Why would you want to look like someone else?

My thoughts exactly.

K, Bye.

Wait just one sec there, here take this questionnaire.

Oh looky here, a long haired gypsy freak. What's your name son?

Damian.

That's quite a last name you have there.

It's polish.

How 'bout that. So why are you treading these tiles?

I don't have the money to buy expensive clothes.

I hear ya.

And in a broader sense, when buying previously used clothing, there is a history to the clothing and a character.

Don't read into it to much now. And do me a favour, fill in one of these questionnaires.

Hmm let me see here, madame, what's your name?

Priya.

And what brings you here?

I like to shop vintage.

You came to the right place.

Yeah, they ARE cheap and unique and the clothing has been worn, giving them sentimental value.
