I stopped by the Thrift World at 29th and Leavenworth in Omaha, not expecting to find much (that store is on the less-nice side). Lo and behold, what is sitting in the case at the front, still in the original packages:
Look, a Shiny-Brite! That's the holy grail of Christmas corsages.
I was so pleased. One was $1.98 and the other $2.98. How could I go wrong? Well, unless you think Christmas corsages are wrong in fashion way, but I've never been intimidated by poor taste. No friends, I fucking revel in it.
That said, here are some things we didn't buy:

Still, two Christmas corsages are a score, and worth the trip to South Omaha.
Good taste is overrated. Clowns, however, are not to be tolerated under any circumstances. Little Boy Blue is very camp. All he needs is a corsage... xxx
