The Three Amigos and Miss Vicki

With the economic situation being what it is, Hannah, Taylor and Courtney have had to do some creative brainstorming on summer fund raising. Today they total rocked the DeAnza Flea Market! Grandma Elsie would have been weepy.

Here's the living room last night - where they laid out all their donations for sorting and packing.















They were up and running EARLY!- arriving for setup before 6:00. Here's their 'spot' - the equivalent of two parking spaces in the DeAnza student parking lot. They had a complete trailer load of 'product' as well filling the back of the Jeep.















Here's the setup in action.





























































Here's Taylor working in the 'back-room' getting some clothes 'stock' out for the customers.



















One of their goals was to sell the 'Ab-Lounger'! Here's Courtney and the girls showing it off after the setup.

































Here's a shot of the girls dealing with one of their customers.















The girls' stall-mate was the wonderful Miss Vicki. Miss Vicki, who turned 80 last Christmas, was quite the crackup - telling stories from her early days in the entertainment industry. She traveled all around Europe doing belly dancing and working in the clubs. Apparently, her nickname in those days was the 'Mexican Bombshell'. She was so entertaining and very photogenic. Here's Miss Vicky doing a bit of a belly dance in the aisle. Check out the long braided hair.



















Hannah tried to get Miss Vicki to take a picture with the girls. She first cracked Hannah up when she told her 'okay. but I don't have any front teeth so we can't do any smiling pictures!' How cute. So, here's what they came up with.





























Then, after the first couple of pictures, Miss Vicki decides they weren't showing enough skin - so she encouraged the girls to start hiking up their pants. They were cracking up when Miss Vicki then started reaching for her shirt collar to show a little more skin. I think Hannah was in shock - and this photographer decided to call it a day.
