Killer Trash: A Stop at Baltimore's Infamous Vintage Costume Shoppe

From: Mary Rose Madden
Length: 00:05:32

An audio Postcard from Baltimore's Legendary Vintage Dress Shoppe Read the full description.

Default-piece-image-2 What might be Baltimore's largest selections of crinlin, kimonos, and moo moos, Killer Trash is a local vintage dress/ costume shoppe in Fell?s Point, Baltimore?s laid back waterfront where locals and tourists roam the pubs, the piers, and stroll the cobble stone streets. We talk to Killer Trash?s owner, Elaine Ferrara ? she used to roll with Sonny and Cher, Elvis, and others ? she used to dress folks in Las Vegas. And we meet two women - really fun women ? as they try on outfits for a 70?s Halloween party. Elaine gives a tour of the shoppe and the women trying on clothes are vivacious. You hear them throw on wigs, squeezing into a pair of go-go boots, and you hear the zipper sounds of a dress that ?almost? fits.
