- As for the question of "Do we wear what we wear for us or for others" I think
- it has a lot to do with the person doing the wearing.

- I live in Alaska, and the whole state is awfully unconnected it seems from
- anything that's not on MTV. A friend of mine met a guy from a tiny tiny town
- called Delta Junction. (Tiny places receive even less input from the
- outer world than larger towns.) And this guy, up to Fairbanks for the weekend,
- told my friend how fun he thought it would be to wear those old velvet cloaks
- and lace collars neat shoes from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
- He just thought it would be something he'd like to do. Something neat. He had
- no idea that the concept of "modern-day goth" existed.
-
- See, true innocense does exist!
