“Dear Edie,
I’ve seen you out dancing, and you are quite a site to watch. Where do you buy your clothes??
I’ve searched so many places, and cannot find good “Salsa” clothing.
I’ll want to go out some nights and won’t have anything to wear!!”

Dear Naked,
I buy a lot of my clothing from Thrift stores believe it or not. You would not believe what people throw away! I mean, I’ve even found stuff with the tag still attached to it!* I guess some people just don’t like what they bought, or they lost a ton of weight, or gained a ton, or just DIED…and left ME with all their great clothing!! This is true. If I see something I like, I just cut it, fix it up, sequence it, sew it, and voila! Instant dance wear!
They have some of the COOLEST outfits!* I also shop at Venice Beach and swimsuit places. One-piece swimsuits make a great “shirt” under a flare skirt!! Plus you get the added benefit of not needing a bra, and automatic underwear that MATCHES!!!
I do A TON of shopping at the downtown Los Angeles Garment District. You can find the most amazing nightclub clothing there for SUPER CHEAP.
If you have the opportunity to shop in Milan, Italy, you will have died and gone to heaven! Milan has the absolute BEST CLOTHING for both men and women! In fact, the guys are better to look at than the women’s styles at most congresses all over Italy! The men look incredible!
Happy Dancing!
