5.0 out of 5 stars A Sense Of Style Or A Liking For Brightness, November 12, 2007

(REAL NAME)   
"Clothing is our most immediate environment, and yet as global differences in dress decrease, it sometimes seems as if everyone had the same exterior.
Are you a decron or a polyester?"
SHARON PERNA. Riverside, Connecticut

"Some time ago, art left the immediate realm of the common person."
LUCRETIA KREBS. Vancouver, Washington

"For myself, I have always wanted fur, ever since I saw and touched my first cat.
(I have also wanted to be a cat since that day, but that is definitely another matter.)
I can remember arguing in junior high school science classes against the theory that hair, per se, implies a higher level of evolution for its possessor than fur or feathers do, and that dreary naked skin is obviously the covering of the most advanced species.
"The students will please take note that it is not a giant sea other who wrote the textbooks or is teaching this class. Sit down, Beagle."
That was a dreary time, however much the packagers of freeze-dried nostalgia try to persuade me otherwise. I was there, and I remember.
They never tell you what an either/or time it was: the two-party system carried right on down through all strata of the culture.
Nixon or Humphrey, Pat Boone or Elvis, white bucks or brown Oxdords, thin red ties or thin blue ties, jocks or grinds, Korea or ROTC, Eliot or Ginsberg, Hemingway or Hemingway. Alternatives were suspect in themselves, and
A SENSE OF STYLE OR A LIKING FOR BRIGHTNESS could cost you your job on charges of being some kind of [...], anyway.
Girls wore girdles and poodle cuts and got teaching certificates..."
