Junk in the Trunk

Shopping notes: In preparation for this year’s country western-themed Glamorama event, area Macy’s stores will open their “Glam Shops” today. Look for countrified jewelry, pewter belt buckles, suede, fringe, and, of course, merchandise that pimps the event’s headliner, Big and Rich. Macy’s will even have reproduction vintage from Scully. And there’ll also be some great cowgirl kicks and spiffs from a Texas-based outfit called Junk Gypsy. (Their line includes the shredded bordello dress I’m currently coveting – it looks like Edward Scissorhands caught hold of it!) Look for the Junk Gypsy trunk show at the Minneapolis store on August 17. Also, in a couple weeks, look for the freelance Strib piece I just pulled together during my weekend trip to NYC. (No better place to unleash the snark.)
