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!
I am laughing so loud I woke my husband. How funny – yet true even here in Missouri. We are the “Show Me” state and sometimes we see way too much. LOL. Thank you for the laugh today.

Who knows, maybe she’s onto a new fashion trend.
I don’t know whether I should laugh or be grossed out. LOL.
Oh my goodness. This is so very funny. And terribly sad : ). I feel like that brings thriftiness to a whole new level… : )
Don’t worry Southerners. There are plenty of people in the rest of the country that would wear that too. And yes, they too seem to “have driver’s licenses and are registered to vote.” Too funny.
well, that is something
not my style though – hee hee
a very creative eye discovered that huhn?! One mans trash is truly one mans treasure!
Eeeeewwwww. I’m gagging just a little.
Ok Rhoda this is really funny. Yes who would think of wearing men’s undies for a summer top. To each his own as they say. Thanks for sharing and giving us a laugh
I live in Illinois and I wouldn’t be a bit surprised to this kind of, um…attire, show up here! Rednecks are definitely not exclusive to the South! 😉 Soooo funny in a sad and yucky kind of way!
I can’t stop laughing. I can’t believe this! I am all about REPURPOSING, and reusing, and finding new ways to look at the everyday…
But THIS is ridiculous!! LOL!!
And, I thought I had seen it all. Too funny!!!
That is too funny! I lived in Arkansas for quite a while and I think that is more of an Arkansas thing (or extreme southwest Missouri, some of the places I work in this would not shock me to see).
I got that e-mail a few weeks ago and laughed so hard! What a fitting picture to include in your post since in the great state of Alabama, and in the great town of Talladega, it is race weekend! That would be a perfect tip for those attending the race this weekend looking to get a little sunshine!
Have a great week!
Oh my goodness, that is TOO funny!!!

Funniest thing. Ever.
Oh my gosh! Yes I am also a southern lady but I NEVER could or would wear something like this! I was howling in laughter. I laughed sooo hard at all the comments to!!!! Especially the green ones! hee hee
Rhoda you are a hoot!!!!
Oh, my! That was hillarious!

OMG. I’m only guessing what it looks like in the front. Terrifying!
