What’s old is new. Hoarders can feel vindicated for squirreling away over the years every scrap under the thought bubble “You never know…” If the image of Molly Ringwald’s character Andy in “Pretty in Pink” making her prom dress out of someone’s hand-me-down was liderally your childhood, then step this way, or at least read this way, because now is your time.
