Grunge is out!

The New York Times, our paper of record, says that grunge fashion is out. By which they mean punk fashion. By which they mean seductive preppy fashion. Actually, they used the word "grunge" to mean everything in their article, not realizing that the style had become a cliche, oh, I don't know, a gazillion years ago. But, here's the really alarming quotation:

"Michael Wood, the vice president of Teenage Research Unlimited in Northbrook, Ill., said the young people he surveys say they are simply sick of what is in their closets. "They're notoriously fickle," Mr. Wood said, "and they've moved on to something new. The last several years, necklines and waists were going lower and lower and showing more and more skin, and they realized you can't go any lower or show any more. The pendulum swung.""

It's Bush's fault! It's Bush's fault. Let me set the record straight: Ladies, you CAN go lower and show more. I'm absolutely sure of it! I only hope that John Kerry wins the election and shows us the way. There IS more. Let's have it!*

* The opinions expressed in this blog entry do not represent the opinions of the married blogger, if his wife is reading. Though she CAN show more. Hopefully Kerry will show her the way! But, uh, he better not get near my wife cuz I'd waste his sucka ass.
