Why not simply announce a conscious intention to revive the word "groovy," and let us get on with our lives. --Blair "I peg more utter geeks that way." P.S. Apparently, all the Spring-fashion shows (which happen in Fall, of economic course) this year in Europe feature a "hippy-dippy-chic" motif, to quote one Italian fag designer (note to the putatively ironic: if he WASN'T an Italian *fag* designer, he WOULDN'T be allowed in the dressing room with Linda Evangelista and Cindy Crawford and Claudia Schiffer, [*] so don't even THINK of expressing your envious dismay at the state of Modern Fashion). The word "groovy" may come back, therefore, but through the usual channels of overreaching wannabes (in Fr., "le Bourgeoisie") and social fear, rather than some democratic (or faux leaderly) requiem. [*] and that hot, black babe (*not* Iman, who's tout-le-out since the Star Trek episode) from the George Michael video (the one that doesn't feature his butt, except as it's implied by his face). P.P.S. Sometimes the clothes do not make the man. P.P.P.S. Hippy fashion is the one sort of clothing that does not scale down and out from 5-11, 28-20-26 to any sort of J.C. Penney format. Therefore the sixties will be even shorter in '93 than they were in '67-72. P.P.P.P.S. Somehow, these morons have included Platform Shoes in the mix, deifying anachronism...expect a rise in emergency-room reports of carpal-buttal syndrome... P.P.P.P.P.S. Usually I boil all of this down (with the help of my editor at Elsevier Press) to the proper one-line followup, but it's Christmas and I have a lot of toys to deliver around the world. Don't let the antlers hit you in the ass on the way out.
