The Thousands

Yo Memory Lane – you have, by far, the biggest collection of historical costumery in Perth. But do you really need walkie-talkies to patrol a space that couldn’t be more than 30m long? (“Jill? Jill, you there? Mayday. It’s Barbs *crackle* I’ve got a girl that needs 1920s *crackle* looks like a Size 10. Over”).

Just joshing – we all know it’s part of your charm. Same as your need for historical accuracy (“Jill, this girl is insisting on 1980s gloves with a 1930s dress *crackle* I’m going to need back up.”). This, despite the fact we’re all just headed to boozy 21sts, where inevitably some obnoxious douche is gonna steal our sailor’s hat and insist on wearing it all night. But we love you Memory Lane, because you have a whole draw of fake moustaches and ten more of tacky jewellery – even an adjoining vintage store so we can buy a Spanish bull rider costume, for keeps. Over and out!
