Leisure Centre is a vintage shop on Hester Street in the Lower East Side. Frank, the owner, is a really cool, interesting dude - and his shop reflects that. Itās impossible to walk in there and not find something you like. Itās well-curated and well-priced; everything is a steal. I do damage every time I visit⦠my wardrobe is slowly turning into only pieces Iāve found here.
Great stuff, lots of cools vintage clothing from around the globe, plus some nice and/or strange furniture and trinkets. The owner is really talkative and friendly, he'll sometimes host a kind of micro-block party outside.
My style is at an all time high due to the fact I am currently single and have a lot of time to focus on me, myself, and I. I also live down the street from the location on classon which is run by these brilliant Puerto Rican women who wash everything in the store and take no shit. They never give me anything off and theyāre so passive aggressive if youāre in the store pass closing. I love it. I have a whole process when sourcing vintage. Everything I wear has come from this store! The prices are super cute
I wanted to get a vintage flip phone to use on my days off, and ended up discovering that 2G and 3G service is basically obsolete within the US. Luckily, I found a cute phone that runs on 4G and even made some cute trinkets for it. I leave my iPhone at home during my morning walks, and on my days off, Iām only on my burner. I thought I needed a vacation until I started using my flip phone - 10/10, would recommend.Why the flip phone? There are countless reasons. I think about this experiment often.
Not sure why I didnāt learn how to do this earlier. My music taste slaps - it feels like Iāve spent my entire life compiling an extensive music library, and itās finally getting put to good use, gracing more than just the ears of me and my friends. Youāre welcome.
Didnāt think Iād ever be cool with āoutside pantsā in my bed, but here we are. Kind of fun to be a rockstar about it, and the t-shirt additions to my wardrobe are a plus. Not sure what I expected - Iām dating Nick Hadad, after all.
