The horse is great! Don’t paint it. It has a lot of character. But you may want to spray a top coat of some sort over it so that the paint doesn’t chip anymore. Like a matte clear coat just to seal it. You can also try to make a lamp out of it if you know someone who can wire it. That would be so cute and unique! Anyway, fun video!💕

The horse for $100 is fantastic! I personally like the aged look, maybe just put a clear coat of spray gloss on top to preserve the cracking paint.

Girl I'm Latinx and a fluent speaker in Spanish but I have accent when I speak so sometimes I get judged by the Latino community there's no winning it be your own people lmaoooo I'm happy you're supporting Latinx businesses though! If I go to socal in the future I definitely wanna to go there 🥹

I’m glad you left the plus size skirt behind at the theater swap meet. It can be rough for curvy girls to find quality thrift items, so you have their backs when you leave those pieces for them, and choose from the sizes that fill the racks instead.💖

one of the reasons i LOVE your channel so much is you show the true california and all of its history/people. i have so much LOVE for the Latino community. reminds me of the fleam markets me and my family would sell at in the atlanta area. Thank you thank you thank you so much for giving us insight on swap meets. its really cool! hopefully if i ever visit cali, ill def check the meets out.

I really enjoyed the background info you gave about MacArthur Park and its vendors, and I especially liked learning about the theatre! This was a very fun thrift video 😌

I grew up here and it hasn’t changed too much, except there used to be more vendors inside the building. In the 90s there were so many vendors in the Westlake theater!

Awwwww I could only imagine!!! There’s a ton of foot traffic in the area so kinda sucks that it’s not seen inside the actual swapmeets😢

The carousel horse is gorgeous! I love all the pastel colors 🥰 Also I get so self conscious going to swap meets and asking about prices because it really varies on how you look, that’s why I prefer set price piles or racks that already have prices on each clothing 🥹😭

I don´t think it was expensive compared to new clothes sold on other places or even other thrift stores. And about why they upcharge you, whith the gentrification we are living on America Latina I see why, you may identify as latinx but you also have more privilege than the people living there. I also feel that those kind of markets are always a bit pricer because they have to pay rent and other expenses and at the same time they don´t have too many coustumers, and also the quality most of the time is way better than fast fashion.

oh noo it’s sad to hear that they up charge you for being American :( even if you’re american your heritage is still valid and as a south american born and bred in Argentina just know that you have support here ❤❤ loooove your videos

hi arthur and danielle i am a los angeles born latina and even I know to stay away from mac arthur park. fearless. you guys are fearless. los amo ! that means i love you guys.
