You could try for the Eagle ScoutAryan youth look. You could dress up and network. Let's have lunch sometime. Meet your significant other at the handball courts. At the sauna. In the whrilpool. At the Tofutti store. In a tanning coffin. Yes, everyone will be quite impressed. What many people don't realize is that the same results I mean affection, popularity, a little more affection, a little more popularity, the ultimate affection can be attained by striking out for the opposite pole. There's a lot less work involved in being happily emaciated, fashionably sloppy and in a constant, but very vogue state of disarray. Every fashion statement has its rules. We'll call the look "Subterranean." There's subter ranean diet, subterranean fitness, subterranean wardrobe and the ever important subterranean complexion. Your new natural models are moles, those pale-eyed fish that live so far underwater that no light strikes them, and the earthworm. And obscure French poets, of course. Things you are not: You are not a slob. Crossing the line between disarray and slobhood is a great danger. Slobs don't get invited to parties. Slobs sit at home, eat pudding pops, watch "Mr. Ed" and play solitude Dungeons and Dragons. You are not dangerous. Sure, you look like you might write a bad check, but not like you're responsible for all those kids on the backs of milk cartons. If you take the subterranean look too far your phone will undoubtedly be tapped, your mail sorted for you at the post office, your private functions televised and your friends drawn into a paranoid intrigue they never asked for. Watch it. You are not just poor. You mav dress in shirts three sizes too big from the thrift store, but you your wines and you've got tickets to know concerts. It is good, though, not to let everyone Know wnere your money comes from. Let them think you've got secrets, an ancient benefactor perhaps. Remember, you are not dangerous. Don't let people think your monev comes from selling Ecstasy to grade school kids. Here's the code. 1. Dress for Distress. You are every God fearing parent's nightmare. You seem to be mostly made up of layers, an onion made of wool and cotton. If you tucked everything you're T1 mew iquc wearing into your pants, you'd have to buy the pants with size 60 waist. Let things hang. A couple of different sorts of fabrics make you interesting. People want to find out what comes after paisley. You're a walking textile dictionary. The answer is not polyester. Plaid maybe. Baggy pants are comfortable. It's not a trend. It's also great for shoplifting, which you don't do because you're not dangerous. A couple of cartons of milk and a bag of potatoes could fit if you've bought the right size. You can wrap a big belt around the waist 9 or 10 times to keep the pants up, no one will see your waist with all those shirttails dangling. You are dressed for sitting in discussion groups, slumped in your seat, so many loose ends that you look like one of those Hindu goddesses. You're dressed for watching underground bands or performance artists. You're again slumped down. The idea is to give nothing of your personal physique away. Underneath it all you could be built like Charles Atlas. Who knows? You might have bosom to spare. You might weigh anything from 95 pounds to 360. Who knows? 3. Fitness. Occasionally you dance. It isn't really dancing though, it's more like weaving and vibrating. You tighten and loosen your face muscles, too, to achieve startling new levels of nonchalance. You strike poses. This is sort of exercise. One pose is "the supervisor." You don't have to be bright or articulate you just assume a post that says, "I could talk you all under the table if I wanted to, but I'd rather watch you fumble around in your obvious intellectual confusion." Your knees are up under your chin. Your arms are around your legs. Once and awhile your face sinks down behind your knees. Your eyes dart around the conversation. Other favorite poses of the subterranean are (1) the mysterious omnipresent stranger with curious habits and (2) emaciated, starving artist with an indelible resemblance to (A) Shelley (B) Yates (C) John Lennon. 3. Complexion. You've been living in dark tunnels most of your life. Your apartment is lit mainly by oil lamps. A transluscent blush is a gooi filial, going on pallorous. Check your pulse once and awhile to -ik sure you haven't fallen into the "rigor mui lis" end of the spectrum. Just remember, light is harmful to any good subter ranean complexion. See SUB on 4
