Lauryn and her friend Emily, would rather shop at Thrift town then Abercrombie and fitch or Hollister. Listen to this interesting piece recorded in Thrift Town on one of the girls regular shopping trips. This is a great experimental piece like nothing I've heard before. Its just as unique as the clothes Lauryn and Emily like to wear. Here they are in "Thrift Town".
Lauryn Silverman tells the story of going to shop at her local thrift store called Thrift Town. OK, first off I wanna say this is my kinda girl! I gained so much respect for Lauryn in these four minutes. She strives to be what I strive to be, not another clone from Abercrombie and Fitch. She mixes good zipper sound effects with sass from her and her friend Emily, “There are so many leather bags, it’s like 500 cows, on a rack.” Although I agree with Lauryn’s message completely her piece is a little rough around the edges and could use just a bit more editing. I really loved hearing about another teenager who loves shopping thrift like me, and I just have to say: Next time you go shopping Lauryn and Emily, call me.
This is a quirky and hilarious commentary on the fun of Thrift Town shopping. The shoppers are extremely funny with their finds and their social commentary on teenage shopping habits. The plot is simple but it works really well for this story and is really carried by the girls and their one-liners about their "hideous" finds. It’s a very amusing piece that had me laughing out loud. "My mom's Jewish Lauren!"
This piece is a creative collage of a day of shopping at a local thrift store. The audio of the trip is mixed with blunt commentary by Lauren Silverstone. The piece not only explores the wacky aisles of a second hand clothing store, but also the individuality which comes with clothes which stray away from the mainstream clothing chains. Rather than spending money on overpriced, mass produced clothes identical their friends, these teens express and enjoy themselves by snapping photos of their friends in outrageous outfits and purchasing inexpensive and one of a kind clothing.
