I wore a "granny dress" to school in about 66 and got told it was a nightgown and not to wear it to school again.

I did that when I was in middle school in about '63 because it seemed like a good idea. I'd never seen them before, I think. Must have occurred to dozens of us across the country. Now I want some of those elaborately decorated jeans the Low-Riders wear - when the things aren't falling off - and make a skirt out of one of those. -- Carolyn Kayta Barrows -- “The future is already here, it is just unevenly distributed.” -William Gibson -- _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
