If there were any place you might -- just might -- find that fabulous little end table you saw in an episode of Beverly Hills 90210, it would be here. Out of the Closet Thrift Stores may seem like any old thrift shop at first visit, but they happen to be a popular donation destination for such stars as Aaron Spelling, Richard Gere, and Elizabeth Taylor. Plus, proceeds from the California-based chain of shops go directly to the AIDS Healthcare Foundation and HIV testing services are offered in private at several store locations. These spots are tough to miss if you're driving around LA, so stop in and have a look.
