Why not simply announce a conscious intention to revive the
word "groovy," and let us get on with our lives.

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.
