I've been a big fan of Bonzi for awhile now. We featured her on the Indie Wedding Guide;A resource for brides to turn to when looking to minimize waste and create their wedding with the idea of using indie designers, a do it yourself attitude and those famous three R's: reuse, recycle and reduce.

When I asked my 23 year old if he had heard of it, he described it as "industrial futuism". He further added that it was like Doc Brown in "Back to the Future 3:. I guess he really has a gift for concise descriptions (unlike me). For years, I've remade garage store and thrift store jewelry into new bling, combining it with found industrial elements such as small gears, washers, copper tubing etc. I've also remade thrift store clothes into a more modern style. After Katrina I tried to remake as many destroyed items as I could. My biggest accomplishment was creating a free-standing herb garden from a broken "Papa San" chair, lining it with my destroyed window screens and filling it with compost and dirt from wetlands and woods which were now accessible, since all the trees had been blown down. New Orleans has had a thrift store aesthetic in fashion at least since I was in high school (I'm currently 52). We have a wonderful recycling center called "The Green Project", which has an annual competition called "Worn Again". Contestants are given a bag of used clothing and old fabric and create a complete outfit. They are then modeled in a fashion show and judged. I believe the outfits are also auctioned. This year, they promotion went almost completely paper-free, the promoters silk screening onto old fabric not only the bags given to contestants, but also their posters and brochures. They sponsor a similar competition using old furniture and cast-off building materials to create fine furniture. Proceeds go to both to the Green Project and The Preservation Resource Center. This organization has been instrumental in recycling materials, many of them inherent to our unique architecture, from buildings demolished by Hurricane Katrina. It is also one of the only paint and solvent recycling center in the nation. It accepts donations of almost any left-over or discarded objects. Several years ago, for example, there were about 80 toilets and 150 sinks available for sale. My sister found a beautiful pedestal sink there when she remodeled her bathroom. Every city should have an organization like this! Why not get some like-minded friends together and start one on your own?
