Melbourne's Best Op Shops

The Morning Blog April 2nd Thursday

As you may know, Lucy is a Kylie Minogue impersonator , so it caught her eye when she saw in the paper that Kylie Minogue was spotted in a Camberwell Op Shop this week. This prompted us to ask the question... to op shop or not to op shop? And if you op shop, where do you go and what do you buy? (And are you terrified of germs like Lucy?)

So Kylie was caught shopping at Camberwell, she spent $40 and walked

away with a few dresses and a hat... is it the Global Financial Crisis forcing her to shop at St Vinnies instead of Chanel, or is it the 'cool' factor of rummaging at the Salvo's and not sipping champagne in Prada?

We even hear a snippet of a new Kylie Song..a remake of her hit 'Love at First Sight'...

Thought that I was going shopping

Just having one those days yeah

Didn't know where to shop

Then I saw the door…

And everything went from wrong to right

And the bargains came out and I had to buy

The clothes you were selling really blew my mind

It was love at first sight

 'cause baby when I shopped there

Found a hat, some shoes, a lounge chair

Never knew that St Vinnies was so fun…

We ask the listeners, is op shopping cool, or is it something you avoid? Lucy expresses that she likes the idea of op shopping, but sometimes can't stand the smell of the shop, and freaks out a little bit thinking about wearing someone else's old clothes. Luke says he has trouble finding clothes in his size...

The Phone Lines are flashing, and there are plenty of callers who tell us their thoughts about Op Shopping... most love it, and think their are plenty of bargains out there, if you take the time to rummage. One caller tells us about an incredible one at Parkhurstin Knoxfield. Some callers agree with Lucy and can't get past the germs, but most love op shops!
