17 Mar '20

I'm making a series of crowdfunding videos in character and would like to score the following at flea-market/thrift-shop prices or no cost if possible. Transportation is limited, but I can travel from WestShore/Lakewood to about Midtown and all stops in-between. Props, costume pieces and accessories, and supplies: - Men's or unisex plastic-rimmed or "nerd" eyeglasses with clear plastic lenses. - Men's collared shirts, Size XL or XXL (2X), short-or long-sleeved, preferably from 1960s to mid-'80s, or just fugly. - Clip-on bow ties. The more ugly and outdated, the better. Would prefer the wide ones from the '70s, but would appreciate any. - Tripod or other freestanding holder or bracket for Android phone or point 'n' click camera. Thank you, Michael A.
