two-twenty

sunday stylin'

Wow, what a Sunday Styles section. Two-twenty learned that race issues have gone postmodern, lots of people drink a lot (and sometimes rich people puke too), and people are connecting socially through something called the "Internet". We already learned lesson 1 from Seinfeld - remember Elaine's frustratingly beige boy-pal? We will not deign to talk about lessons 2 and 2b except to say that if Britney puked in the woods it would definitely make a sound and would probably show up on ET, or at least Page Six, as well. Lesson 3 was interesting in the sense that some dorks who look at naked chicks on the Web threw a party in Bushwick and it was covered in the Times! Suckahs.

The piece about ethnic ambiguity being the new hottness did finally solve one mystery - why the A & F Quarterly folded. Their 98% aryan prep school fantasy mag would never survive the influx of "color" necessary to maintain its relevance.
