It's like the 'Hunger Games': Schadenfreude and spectacle at Wing's L.A. estate sale
Now, the club itself was being liquidated, its bespoke furniture, industrial kitchen equipment and high-end ephemera luring bargain hunters from across Southern California.“It’s like the ‘Hunger Games’ out here,” 32-year-old Ayrn Terry cried out as she tried in vain to extricate herself from between branded yoga mats and tongue-in-cheek athleisure.
“People are eating this up like vultures,” said former employee Yari Blanco, 36, as she hunted for a souvenir from the carefully curated bookshelf. “People used to always joke, ‘Whenever they’re selling the furniture, let us know.’ And here they are, true to their word.” Blanco acknowledged the club’s failures — brought on, she felt, by the pressures of venture capital — but was unsettled by the gleeful dismantling of so many women’s invisible labor.
Leslie Smith, from left, Brianna B., Sahar Saleem and Lena Allen, all of Los Angeles, found items to buy at the Wing estate sale on Saturday. “It was just so wild to see this go from an exclusive membership club to now people are literally running through here taking furniture and lights off the walls,” said former member Amber Phillips. “It’s a good metaphor. But it’s very literal.”
