That's right, I forgot that -- the two-tones I met also called themselves Sharps. Did you ever see your boyfriend or any of his friends wearing white shirts and black pants, or black checks or two-tone shoes?
Now that I think about it, when I met them, it was the girl skinheads who were really into the black/white clothing thing -- they looked like a collective Escher sketch they were so covered with it, once you noticed it. Perhaps besides caring more about fashion in general, they were making up for not actually having skinned heads :o)
