GFT. Garbage Fashion Thieves. “Those of you add to the waste shall end up stealing what he has given.” That’s what the mystic poet Sigyriyah, only to be found in our imagination, said. He also came up with the following: “look at the sacred cows... they eat the rubbish that litters the streets and turn it into milk”. We pay heed to our invented guru and we steal the clothes that people throw out as junk. We are the Wynona Ryders of rubbish. Like Robin Hood in urban jungles, we steal the garbage that even the poorest don’t want and then use it ourselves. “Recycling!” shout out a lot of modern trendy gobshites. The word is definitely hip this weather. We prefer to rob and steal instead. There’s adventure to be had in theft, none in recycling. When we grow up, we’ll turn into cows and make milk out of rubbish. Until then we’ll continue to be garbage clothes thieves.
