ODDITIES CON

the permanent love

for all things odd

creation lives, dies, and is reborn.

I had a fabulous time shopping and people-watching at the very dangerous Oddities and Curiosities Expo that’s in town this weekend.

The danger was primarily to my bank account, but there was also just a dash of ‘I hope this doesn’t awaken anything in me’ feels. I was just as weak as expected to all the lovely goth ladies I saw today but there were so many joyous clown girls in attendance as well. Much to think about!

What was the oddest oddity (or favorite oddity) at the oddity expo :)

Aw, hey @pittedjune, thank you for the question!

There were some genuinely amazing stained glass and sculptures for sale. But I think this one thing might have been my favorite:

It was also WAY out of the budget I'd set for myself, lol, so I didn't come home with it, but this specific stall sold bugs and crystals, of which I like both, and this one pearlescent cloche in particular was so pretty I'm probably gonna write it into something.

OH! And that cloche was tied with this:

Finally, I didn't get a photo of it, but I was also absolutely enchanted by one of the stained glass vendors. Much of the oddities though were not really my thing, though. Like - there was a LOT of taxidermy present. I can't even describe to you how many stalls selling dead things or things made of dead things there were.

I’m going to an oddities expo soon and I’m literally clapping and giggling looking at the social media page. Like YES I DO WANT TO SEE THE TEETH NECKLACES AND THE JACKALOPE!

I think I brought more art than anything else…. But yeah!
