When I lived in N.Y there were two 24 hour outdoor magazine stands. One was in Greenwich Village and the other was off of Lexington Avenue near the 59th street Bridge. In the summer I would sometimes get in my car at 1 or 2 am and drive to one of them to buy magazines. I loved magazines, mainly fashion like Elle and Vogue but also interior design magazines like Casa Vogue.I used to spend a fortune on them. And I always bought two of them. One I would use to cut out the fashions I liked and the other to save. Back then I still read Essence magazine and would collect them. I had years of issues of Essence magazines.
Throughout my life I have had other things I liked to collect; like fridge magnets from places I have visited, airline ticket jackets and luggage tags, and radio station stickers from all over the world.
I bought this sticker on eBay, it cost $30 along with another one.I collected the airline stuff when I worked for an airline; I had tags from airlines all over the world. I still collect radio station stickers. I have them from all over; Italy, France, Canada, even Syria and Iran. I began collecting those when I worked in radio.
I also collect (don't laugh) Sasha Bratz dolls. I love them and have about 7 now. I also have a few Scary Spice dolls and 3 WNBA dolls. I started collected dolls about three years ago.
Sasha Bratz Rock Angelz was the first doll in my collection.I don't know why I collect stuff. I just enjoy it. I enjoy finding the stuff and displaying it. I wouldn't say collecting is an obsession but I do really get into it.
Do you collect anything?
If so have you ever thought about why you collect?
