RMIT VN Green Generation Club cooperated with International Club, Aikido Club, and Vietnam Sach & Xanh to organize an environmental campaign called ‘’TRASH CHALLENGE EVENT’’, not only catching up the viral trend but also contributing Green-clean-beautiful environment protection.
Trash and Vaudeville are actually two stores, the latter sitting on top of the former. To get into Vaudville, you have to go up a black iron staircase reminiscent of a fire escape; to get into Trash you have to go down a few concrete steps into what otherwise might be a basement apartment. Vaudeville is full of bright colors and kitsch; chances are you'll prefer its alter ego— subterranean both literally and figuratively.
Trash is one of the seminal punk and goth stores of NYC. It has been open since the beginning of time, seemingly, and the merchandise seems to reflect that, covering a lot of the trends from the 70's to the 90's.
The front part is jewelry and clothes, the latter of the fetish variety. Lots of leather "undergarments", rubber dresses and similar fetishy clubwear. You will find brightly coloured mesh shirts, vinyl pants and black lace shirts. You'll find leather jackets and spiky rubber purses. You'll find sharp (again literally and figuratively) jewelry, including Marché Noir, Axel rings (which are the most exquisite, long jagged claw rings you will ever lay eyes upon), and piercing jewelry. Not to be forgotten, a rainbow of grim and perverse t-shirts is seen on the Eastern wall.
The back is almost entirely shoes. Doc Martins are piled on to shelves as far as the eyes can see, in all colours, styles and materials. If you are looking for a pair of spiked heel, thigh high boots with pictures of international flags on them, be sure to try here. It's likely you will find just what you are looking for, or something similar. Don't forget to scour the sales section: sometimes off sizes go on clearance, making it paradise for those of us with smaller or larger than the average size foot.
Vaudeville, should you ascend from the depths, is mostly clothing; with vinyl, rubber, leather, lace and old school punk plaid dominating. Looking for those bondage strap pants? This is a great place to try first. But the kitsch wristwatches, lunchboxes, lighters, and items impossible to describe, are also quite remarkable.
Even if you don't buy anything, or of the store seems a bit too trendy for you, this is a piece of NYC history. The store has changed a lot from it's humble beginnings as a $3-$5 store, but it still has tons of interesting items, even if the prices aren't as great as they were in the 80's.

Even trash can look like art if you look at it with an artist's mind.

That is one ugly-ass No Boundaries man-made-materials navy blue pink star XL made-in-China broken belt. Who the hell wore it, how did it get trashed? Just one story in the naked city. I like the grate shadow cast on the trashcan, it looks like a bow tie.
It was raining on and off all day and very windy. We raced off to grab some location shots between the rain and before the sun dissappeared. It was so cold we did these ones very hurriedly which meant no time to perfect them and no time to set up flash. I had a ball though and love what we managed to get. Would love to do it all again... how long til summer?

Had a great time at my first trash the dress session last night. The bride, Jamie, was such a good sport -- game for anything we asked her to do. There are more photos to come...
I was opposed to throwing this out and buying a new one when a flimsy plastic bit in the hinge broke and rendered the step opener useless. So I got out a spare handle I had in my toolbox, tapped screw holes for it with an eight-penny nail, and screwed it on to the lid.
I went to take out the trash today, and noticed that two of my cans were burned. It must have happened Friday or Saturday night. I reported it to the Richmond Police (non-emergency) who sent two fire trucks. That was a tiny bit embarassing.
