In the back garden of Metropolitan bar on a recent Thursday, buff dudes in work boots rummaged through heaps of polyester sweaters alongside even buffer dudes in five-inch heels. Up front at the bar, the “Alotta Stuff” vintage auction and clothing swap in Williamsburg was underway and the thrifted treasures for trade were piled as thick as the hosts's makeup. Two boyish models, Lady Havokk and Krystal Something Something, posed in Pepto-Bismol eighties prom dresses, gladiator fringe skirts, and children's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle costumes.
"We're all crazy hoarders," explained Alotta McGriddes, one of the event’s auctioneers and hosts along with friend and fellow drag artist Thorgy Thor. McGriddles and Thor first started the event to help clear out their overflowing closets. On Thursday, bids for the 40-some auction items started between $1 and $5, occasionally reaching as high as $40. The piles of clothes in the back, which anyone could dump cast-offs onto, were free to take.
