Super Summer Clothing Swap will take place on Saturday, June 27^th from 12 noon to 5pm. This is a free community event organized and promoted by Hannah Winkler, a 2009 graduate of Classical High School. This event is open to the public. It will take place at New Urban Arts, 743 Westminster Street, Providence. The clothing swap is an event for Providencians to get rid of old (lightly used) clothing they no longer want and have their pick of piles of secondhand clothes.

To be able to receive clothes, participants must bring at least one item of unwanted clothing to the swap (although bringing more is encouraged). Tables and blankets will be set up for participants to display clothing. Most importantly, this event is totally free! No money will be exchanged for clothing. Any leftovers at the end of the day will be transported to the Salvation Army.

Come to get free clothes, reduce clothing waste (secondhand is a form of recycling), and have some summer fun at the Super Summer Clothing Swap!

MIA’s super-limited clothing line is launching later today.  I expect the whole thing to sell out in about four brightly-colored, garish seconds.  Though I love the woman dearly, I imagine that these will be collector’s pieces and not anything that one might actually want to wear.  Unless one is blind, or maybe my dad.

Here’s a gallery of some of her more garish visuals from over the years:

Wonderful (and totally underrated) album.  Terrible cover, designed by MIA before Elastica singer Justine Frischmann got her making music.  She also directed the video for Elastica’s Mad Dog (God Dam), which wasn’t very exciting but at least didn’t make my eyes bleed.  But that album art was nothing compared to, say, this monstrosity of pixels:

But wait, then there was this one, which may be the single ugliest cover in my entire CD collection:

And I haven’t even gotten into her website or the videos for her own songs, which could induce seizures like no amount of Pokemon videos.
