Fashion is a funny thing in
these United States. A lot of the
cool things we wear now were
cool way back when dark green
plastic shades, jeans, knee-length
shorts, deodorant. And some of
the things that were cool way
back when are out now, but may
be in next week. Hie trick seems
to be anticipating which style will
come back in when.

It was with that purpose in
mind that I bought a paper doll
set and subscribed to the "Fasten
On Outfit of the Month Club."
Each month I get a different get
up to put on my collection of guys
and dolls. In additions, I cruise
garage sales and thrift shops for
out-of-date garb. When I come on
combinations which look promis
ing, I take my paper outfits to
high fashion stores, maternity
shops or the Goodwill tailor and
buy the clothes.
Sometimes I hit. Last spring,
one of my male dolls was wearing
boxer shorts underneath his gym
shorts, just for fun. But the female
dolls seemed to like that get-up,
so I let him wear it for a few days.
Pretty soon, all the guys wanted a
pair. It was crazy, man; a fashion
phenomenon!
I bought some boxer shorts
and put my gym shorts on over
them. It was pretty uncomforta
ble; the underwear kinds slik up
my loins. It looked pretty stupid
too, but I put up with it my
dolls are usually right. Sure
enough, by May the trend caught
on and Greek men started don
ning the new style a dynamic
tantamount to social acceptance
of a new fad, at least in the UNL
fashion community.
Another time I hit was with the
"Flashdance" look. My dolls got in
a little scrap (okay, an all-out
brawl) over who would have to
try on the plaid polyester kilt I
brought home, and they ripped
up the clothes they were wearing.
Well, anyone who has ever
owned paper dolls knows disci
pline is everything. You just can't
let the imps think they can get
away with making trouble. Any
way, for their punishment I made
the scoundrels wear their torn
clothes for a whole week

Darned if I couldn't get the rags
off those rascals when the week
ended; they liked them! Anyone
who had both shoulders covered
was a paper pariah. I tried the
look, a few of my city friends
copied me, their friends in Holly
wood copied them, "Flashdance"
came out and the fad was on.
Sometimes my dolls are wrong.
They really liked big black buckled
Puritan shoes I bought them, and
made me buy some knee-high
stockings, knickers, ruffly shirts,
lamb chop sideburns and flowing
cloaks to go with them.
They begged and begged for
petticoats and bonnets. I bought
all that stuff, they wore it, and
they quit laughing, worked much
harder, called each other thee
and thou and stayed in their own
beds.
When President Reagan was
elected, I thought the times were
right for the Puritan look. It was
tough to find the clothes, the
shoes especially, but I succeeded
in procuring an outfit just in time
for my sister's wedding. I knew I
was in trouble when they mistook
me for the minister, the janitor
and the chimney sweep. But the
wedding was fun compared to
the reception. No one, not even
my sister, would dance with me.
Two dolls got thrown in the
fireplace for that one. In the
fashion world, justice is fast and
retribution swift. It's hard, but it's
necessary.
IVe got to go now my phone's
ringing and it could be Ken and
Barbie calling in the gang's reac
tion to the Cool Crusade -Armored
Pajamas I designed for them. Re
member: The best way to beat
inflation and stay in style is to
buy things a long time ago.
