To kevin b.
All I said was that the idea was not new. It’s the same idea. Sell all your stuff. Of course she’s a different human being, I think everyone gets that. I just don’t think it should be passed off as unique that’s all. I did wish her luck, geeez.
And I have no idea what that last sentence is supposed to mean but I guess that’s because I’m one of the uneducated masses… being stupified… within a stagnant…
yeah, whatever, dude.

well you see Ted, what you don’t understand is that YOU have to make sense. Its not already made for you. I mean, you can read up on all of the sense makers of the world, but to be honest, it won’t be of much help to you. There are so many empty minded designers and people that lack intention and direction it is ridiculous, and thank god megan is not one of them. Design deserves substance, and for some people, that’s a serious matter. And from the looks of it, Megan seeks to design beyond car wash signs and corporate identities.

And to Julie, this has not been done before. Megan is a completely different person with her own intentions and self discovery. Your lack of sensitivity to circumstance, context, and intention is outright embarrassing. Leave generalizations for the uneducated masses that you intend to stupify within a stagnant state of mind.

That makes even less sense, Matt.

To all those haters. I think you are missing the point of the site. It is NOT to make money or profit from her modest possessions but rather to “immerse” herself into the community and live a simple, product free life for a year. Donate and shut your pie holes.

There’s no point in looking… I already bought it.

That’s a pretty ugly site for a graphic designer.

I agree with neatoman. Buy all your hippie trash within a hundred miles of where you live.

Er, I’m weirdo enough to admit that I looked for her underwear. I wonder why that was an exception. And what other things might be missing?

Good luck. The small pics make for a pleasant effect. Now I am surprised no weirdo has asked for underwear erc.

As an Alabama native, good luck in Greensboro. I actually like that town, but it can take some adjusting. Enjoy the food and great farmers’ markets though.

@Daniel Kim

Yeah, it’s for those people who had an exact set, but accidently lost one of them.

looks like a bunch of hippie junk that nobody would want anyways. no thanks, i’ll just go down to the local thrift store and find the same stuff.

The idea to sell all your stuff is not new nor is it novel. It was already done by a guy I knew in college, like 8 years ago.

Good luck, Megan.
I’ve boozed in Rollie’s in my day. Greensboro can’t be too much worse.
And what a soul-bareing inventory!
