Groundhog Day in Carnaby Street Style 0

I can’t say I’m fond of what passes for high school kids’ fashion (or lack thereof) these days, or of the commercials in which retailers try to turn the first day of school into America’s Next Top Model, but, really, now.

In addition to polos and button-downs, Lakewood High (Pinellas County, Florida, where bikinis litter the beaches–ed.) is requiring all pants, skirts and dresses to fall below the knee. But like most schools with new dress codes, Lakewood makes an exception for “spirit wear,” or school-related clothing.

So they still get to ogle the cheerleaders in their mini skirts.

Next, they’ll outlaw Beatles haircuts.

Oh, wait.

For you whippersnappers, here’s a link about Carnaby Street. It was a Quant place.

The ability of Americans to get upset over stupid stuff is infinite.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
