The Bodacious Baptism of Bon Jacket

To begin, I love thrift shopping. On the application FourSquare, I have established myself as the mayor of both Salvation Army and Goodwill. I hope that being entrusted with my community will be able to make some change in these peoples' lives. As their mayor, my first order of business is to thrift a lot. And I mean a ton. Competitively. Like a sport. Though, being the mayor also means I must gracefully throw in the towel (75% if they have 3 or more stains) to allow others to have the generous bounty.

With frequenting these discount clothing stores, you come to realize that pretty much everything in the store except one magical article of clothing is valued at the equivalent of a nonchalant middle finger. I can look through hundreds of shirts from lame company BBQs only to be saddened to realize that the few awesome (or hilariously ironic) clothing is at least 2XL. Until the event happened.

I'll admit, I got some unusual looks while searching the women's jacket section with my friend, Kyle, but with so much to gain, that is insignificant. After groping through numerous creepy types of fabric, my hands landed on the winner. The jackpot. The goldmine. The jacket it landed on was my destiny. It is a light brown suede jacket that is EXTREMELY* soft in the entire interior. I fell in love. I wore it. Just my size, of course. I paid for it, departed and since then I've felt that much more like Bon Jovi. And that was the birth... of Bon Jacket.

Coming soon to a party on top of you!
