Jemima Kirke Instagram – 🫧🫧POP UP🫧🫧 💄T-SHIRT SALE💄 🌌THIS WEEKEND🌌 These photos were taken as promo for @geminola_nyc vintage shop, Geminola 🪦, back in 2008. @lolakirke and I were the main models being that my mother was the owner. Most vintage clothing collectors love to collect anything old and pretty. So our home was overwhelmingly colorful, cluttered, quirky and completely dysfunctional. It was like living with a mad scientist, always tinkering away in their studio, building things then impulsively decontrusting it all and starting over. More of a concept than a home and thank fucking god. I’d much rather be surrounded by that energy than have sneakers strewn all over the hallway, a pathetic school pic dangling off the fridge or some fake wood, super effienct TV console. Need a surface? What the fuck for? Ashtrays, stash boxes and bowls of rings give so much more. Can’t reach the books on the ceiling? You weren’t gonna read anyway. And while I longed for a real duvet, I appreciated our over-dressed beds. Wrapped in worn down French linens, lace trimmings and satin, quilted bed spreads. One felt as if they were sleeping on a set. Sweet bird of youth. Streetcar. Baby doll. Anything Tennessee Williams. And who can say they went to sleep with their room looking one way and woke up with it looking another. But the very best part was the clothing. Growing up in a house that doubles as storage for dresses from the Victorian age to the 1970s was a ton of fun. My mother never called it “vintage.” It’s was clothing. Name the decade or who the fuck cares? I never had “nothing to wear.” So long as it was stealthily returned before dawn then alls well that ends well. But as time goes on the “more”mentality starts to shift to a “get rid of it” mindset. Lucky for you she will be hosting one such venture this weekend. 🌟🌟A massive sale of clothing, furniture, jewelry, my collection of clothing items for vibrant youths @orphan_darling 🍼🍼and of course, MY ENTIRE T-SHIRT COLLECTION. Sat 12/9- Sun12/10 ✨DM @geminola_nyc✨ for address and details.
