A few weeks ago we received a phone call from a UK production company wanting to know if it was ok to film a scene with 2 women coming in to Reclaimed Home to shop. Sure, why not? The documentary crew showed up yesterday and we found out a bit more about the show.

Well, not really much more, just the fact that the host is Jodie Marsh and she does kind of “Day in the Life Of” snippets for her TLC UK series. The woman she was with was a Texan….we know this because she signed our mailing list by adding “TEXAS!”.

The Texan bought some vintage nudie magazines and girlie art for her “naughty” boyfriend while Ms. Marsh purchased the 1980’s band coasters that hadn’t even made it onto our online shop yet. The set of 4 coasters consisted of Madness, The Jam, Morrissey and The Cure. She had to explain to Ms. Texas who these people were, but then I had to chime in off camera when she confused Rob Smith (or perhaps Moz?) for Nick Heyward. Now, I like me some Haircut 100, but come on….not in the same coaster set as those legendary bands!

Also, I found out that the gal realllly likes her Paul Weller.

I sent them down to the hipster end of Franklin (“Make sure you cross Eastern Parkway”) for more cafes and shopping. So, if you were were on Franklin yesterday and wondered what this crew was doing, that’s your answer.

We may not get the series here in the U.S. but I’m sure I’ll be alerted from friends and in-laws on the other side of the pond once my punim shows up on their tellies. Good thing about the internet is that they won’t have to videotape it and transfer it to a U.S. system. Remember those days? Oh gosh. I do. And it was all pretty much tapes of those bands mentioned above.
