Stuck in Vermont 80: The Clothes Exchange

5/15/08: Shop till you drop, recycle used clothing, socialize over cocktails AND raise money for a women's charity?

Sounds too good to be true, right? Actually, it's the 7th Annual Clothes Exchange.

In 2008, The Clothes Exchange was attended by over 450 women and together with local sponsors, they raised $30,000 for The Hicks Foundation. Not bad for an event that began 7 years ago in the living room of event organizer, Leslie Halperin.

Allison Hicks, the founder of the organization was on hand to educate women about the dangers of cervical cancer which, if screened for with yearly Pap smears, is 100% preventable.

Please god let me out of this pit of sorrow called VT, nothing against anybody here but it is a sinkhole with nothing to offer. 3/4 of the year frozen tundra, dumbass rednecks everywhere. This video sums it up "stuck in vermont" It is a black hole that sucks the life from you.

What was with the random one second cameos from Gaye Symington??? Crazy! And a little random... you wouldn't see Governor Douglas casually shopping for dresses like that!
