Plus what fun is it to be punk rock, skin, or alternative unless you get to
focus on fashion? In St. Louis it was much more important to *look* radical
than to *do* anything radical.

My ex wore the typical black flight jacket with tons of black and white
patches. And then there was something special about the color of laces you
wore in your tall Doc Martens: white meant one thing, red another. Can't
remember which was which.

The girl skinhead style was to have super, super short hair all over except
for bangs in the front and long pieces down the sides in the front. They cut
it close but kept it girlie. In fact, it was like the opposite of a mullet,
which is all business up front but a party in the back.
