all mod cons: a response to mods and Fred Perry

[Built-In Sharpener]

...maybe mod is a state of mind. why would you engage in such a stupid (word choice?) conversation. i suppose educating the uneducated is quite neccessary for change. i also assume if they are the only "mod-identified" people in your area you would want to get along and be recognized as a member of the community. whether to join them or to lead : ) which is natural i suppose in agreement with the mod identity. you are not wrong, however it would be soooo much better if fred perrys were left out of the mod conscience simply because it is BORING clothing article that is just as overrated as overpriced. it is a consumer trap. and as a smart! person  you should be able to quickly realize that fifty dollars for a cotton t shirt is ridiculous. (not to say i don't own any fred perrys as i have a few from back in the 800 days as skingirl-not-so-extraordinaire or that i don't wear them occasionally like i do with any other t shirts.) i do  think the v neck sweaters are nice, however as a diligent shopper i could always find sweaters of equal or better quality for a fraction of the price at second hand/vintage/thrift stores. not only that!... they are unique . logo's and name brands are often time tacky. you don't want to be a walking advertisement, because you're not a billboard, babe. but anyway explore the wonderful world of fabric and design. and maybe before saying anything anytime soon, lead by example: look better. (oh oh do you think i am encouraging elitism? oh well). talk to you later.   misS.Carol   ___________________________________________________________ T O P I C A http://www.topica.com/t/17 Newsletters, Tips and Discussions on Your Favorite Topics
