Since I grew up in Georgia and live in Alabama, I guess I can make fun of the South a bit. I know Southerners are constantly stereotyped as country bumpkins, tasteless, redneck, and just plain uncouth, which is completely untrue. But, looking at this pic, I’d have to say we resemble that remark occasionally. My friend Judy, from Atlanta sent this to me recently and it is supposedly an actual picture taken in the Birmingham metro area (I won’t name the actual city), shopping at a flea market outside a Walmart.
Look very closely at the pic and then you’ll get it…..the caption that came with the email was so good, that I’m passing that on too. I didn’t write it, but I’m sharin’.
Now I ask you….
Who stands and looks at a pair of men’s briefs and says hummmm …I can make me a nice summer top from these!!
On the other hand … $6 for a three pack is a good price!! But what if they weren’t bought new? That’s redneck recycling at its best. Don’t throw out yer feller’s drawers when the skidmarks don’t wash out no more. Just cut the crotch out and wear ’em.
How very Green!
I just had to share this one. If someone here locally knows this girl, I don’t think I want to know that. 🙂
Monday, I’m going to start a Today’s Thrifty Treasures party and every Monday we can share our yardsale/thrifty finds from the weekend (for a few Mondays anyway). So, come back on Monday and we’ll get that started. See if you have something you can share with us and add it to Mr. Linky!
The giveaway from Engraved Euniques in the post below will end Sunday night and the winner will be announced Monday a.m. There’s still time to sign up!
That gal wins the award for creativity!
I wouldn’t wear it but it’s workin for her.
that is just so disturbing on soooo many levels- ewwww! but I am excited about the Thrifty Treasures party! woo-hoo! I went today & got a nice brass lamp that is screaming for some spray paint. but I have to admit Im at a loss of what color- black with a cream shade? cream with a black shade? cream with with a toile shade- oh the possibilities!
Rhoda~ how’d you get that picture of me at the March of Dimes walk-a-thon today?
Just kidding~ I’ll go with you next weekend… if you promise NOT to wear your fruit-of-the-looms!
I think I’ve seen it all now! Just proves that taste is a relative thing!
Hmmm…how creative! Hahaha! Being from the South, I can laugh at this one! Hilarious!
Well, we must give her a ribbon or something for being the most creative of the unusual one! lol
Those must have been some big ole undies, don’t you think?
Be a sweetie,
Shelia 😉
Oh my gosh! I’m speechless. Just speechless.
I’ll be sharing this one with my hubby.

Now if this was in Hollywood and not the South it would become all the rage and ladies we would have to do it to. If Victoria Beckham said so it would be fashion law.
How could that possibly hold up her ta-tas as she’s running? Ouch! Creative, but not pleasant. Personally, I think of southerners as being gracious, generous, a bit “fancier” in decor and dress. Maybe the runner is from out of state? Hee!
Haha, that made me laugh so much, Rhoda! Thank you for sharing the photo and the caption… Now I’m amused!
that gave up a good laugh.

It took me a minute to realize that you weren’t commenting on that poor woman’s sun damaged skin.
Because I almost never wear sleeveless tops, preferring not to share my jiggly arms with the world, my husband was surprised when I recently brought home not only a sleeveless blouse, but a dress. I am now going to show him the photo, telling him that will be a new clothing item for both our 16 year old, and me. I can’t wait to see if he believes me.
Heehee! Love it–and I’ll bet it’s comfy, too!
hummmm, that puts a new light on the remark, Get you head out of your ass. Hahaha!
Wait, is that a man or a woman?

That is hilarious! I am relieved that you did not have a front picture! LOL!
Oh how funny, Rhoda! I hate the phony southern accents you hear in movies and on tv, do you? Home from the Hospital now and catching up with all of you…I don’t know that young lady, if I did I’d tell her how swell I think she looks and ask her if she’s a Jersey girl…lol!
hugs

this is hysterical!!!
I dont think I have ever seen that in my life.
Yeah, it boarders on Crafty & trashy!
Still dont know which yet..lolol
I was raised in the GA, and have family in Alabama. So I can laugh right along with that picture. LOL!!
I just found your blog recently and love it. My husband and I are building a home in the midwest on a very tight budget, and am excited at some of the wonderful thrifty ideas you share. I look forward to the Today’s Thrifty Treasures party.
Peace and Grace to you and yours.
Haha!!
I’m all for going green, handmade items, and saving a few bucks but this is pushing it…
oh that is just wrong on so many levels. I just hope they were new and not previously worn….ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!
