The thing that makes it intriguing to the literate is it's sacristy. The thing that makes it intriguing to the subliterate is it's bright colors being at eye level and on sale at Wal-Mart. It's as valid as any theme for party, clothes ensemble or film set and will always re-surface. It seems like it's been a long while since Swashbuckling was the trend in films, but look what's in our laps just now. Last night I was going thru some photos before before the movers and church fraus haul all my folks stuff away. There was a set of pictures of my parents house in 1963 OC. New house looked like it fell from outerspace. The first thing they did (Before a lawn even) was to put in a pond and waterfall. Later were palms and banana trees...even a mask. I like to think they were guided by some divine spirit of bad taste, but really I'm sure they did it because everybody else did....same as the people who get tatoos to be differnt now. We're all sheep I suppose, but I want to be the sheep in the most vulgar coctail shirt and tartan pants.
