Re: were back
Kitty; I guess the boyish style just isn't sexy (?) enough. And therefore not a money spinner... in my opinion it would sell more as most girls don't look like Brigitte Bardot, Julie Christie or Twiggy...
Bop: The last two times I saw your missus (fnarr) she looked different. At 'Where its at' she was rockin a Skin/suede style that I thought looked really good, and at The Bar Italia do she was coming with a sort of Jackie O thing, with her hair up and a marroon dress with braiding. All very profumo affair. Very smart... She doesn't seem to be doing an out and out 'Mod' thing, but she looks great and very stylish. She's a cool chick.
--- ooops!...... did I err???

Re: were back
You only have to look at old Vogues to see there were several different types of models for the many different take on fashions. Yeah sure as you say Jeff, the sexy image
(or what is perceived as this), the boyish and the more refined (left over from the late 50's glamourettes of dressing like your mother). It's also interesting to see the 20's revival being celebrated in these magazines too! I suppose designers of today are gonna pick up on the more obvious choices which is tiresome for us.

Isnt this all about Luna's photo?
Or is it really a rather lamentable
attempt to "normalise" one's self by placing
Mod where it has NEVER been...on the side of
the "normals"!?!At your ages, Mod may have become
a "normal" part of your life but for Luna and
other young mods it still has teeth and they
want to flash them at a society that they dont
dig and which doesnt dig them.What in the f is
wrong with that??? Jeff,you are not coming across
as a snob but in these posts you seem to be telling
this young woman to strive for being the "SAME".
This aint a Jeff the Fish message,such does not
pass from your hip lips!!! It's true that Mod is
not a "freak show" but its not an f'in stylish
refuge for normals either.Lets not forget that we
still live in a world full of people striving to be
the "same" for god knows what reasons!Luna may not yet be sussed specifically as a Mod but she's sussed enough
to know where she stands in her society and thats a
better start then a mod coiff,which any dolt can
purchase and as we know,more than a few dolts have done
so, in the last 40+ years! Jeff,go ahead and be a mod
"snob" and tell her her specifically what you think
she needs to know but dont give her the idea that mod
ushers a person into normality...thats the sane world
of Bush,Blair,Bin-Laden(well,he's admired by hundreds of
thousands that find him sane) and Chirac...these guys dont listen to Dexter Gordon,Howard Tate or the Prisonaires.
Go ahead and tell her why you,we,I do, but Poisson, dont
tell me that you are steering her square...Im so full of
angst over this,I could spit!
Kitty,being catty but Im being batty and you'll not
convince me that normal is a mod aspiration,and after all,
arent you the one that grabbed Ig's legs(oh, I know Jim
loves to golf)and yes,he is as normal as his dad and as
crazy as a cat.Used to bump in to him back in Ann Arbor
when he was with the Psychedelic Stooges,he was a little
less sane than the rest of us but only because he was
thoroughly stoned,plus he was loose...and we being holdout
mods were worried about wrinkling our trousers so early
in the night.He might have found our preoccupation with a
good crease insane but not so much in the past, his own
trousers had been sharkskin and hard creased.And arent
you a Cramps fan?,or were you joking?...any man that takes
the stage in plastic pants and sado-masochistic heels
does seem horribly normal or would that be normally horrible???And dont you read and watch all those positively
"psycho" books and films?I know,you'll be insisting that
all that is normal because you like it but why would you
think that an attraction to such is akin to conformity?
And when you were 19 why wasnt,the nice boy that went to
church every Sunday and drank his milk and dreamt of a good
job just like his dad's,and a wife just like mumsy more
attractive than Steve Marriot? Because youre bad Kitty and
bad is good,unless you're so bad that a good crease is
one that is made with an axe.Kitty please tell me youre
bad and go ahead and tell Luna what you think of her photo,
that would be bad but y'know good-bad, if you know what I mean...aint that a line in a Shangri-La's song? Now those
girls were bad!...I bet they knit now and sit before the
television dreaming of the days when they WERE young and bad.
Im with Daddy R and Mystery on this one...still,I dont know
why Luna wanted to post that particular photo on a mod forum but its hardly the most offensive thing on this
forum...right??? And Luna my dear,take sweet old Mysterymod's advice and post another photo or wait till youve got things put together as you like them,there's no rush y'know,it takes time and knowledge to adapt things
mod to one's self...even the grand and tres,tres hip Jeff
the Fish started out as a pathetic,tragically angry and
ripped up,Union Jack ragamuffin trailing the Pistols and
before becoming a Mod in the early 60's,I was a greased
back, foolish little hoodlum trying to do the Shing-a-ling
to Johnny and the Hurricanes records,dreaming about surfing in a land of cornfields!!!
I am using the word "hip" as it was used originally to
signify,"one that knows"...normals,conformists,people
that achieve sameness,people that do not seek the
differant...they know what they know...but they just dont
KNOW.
Sorry if I might have offended,not my intention at all
but several posts in this thread just dont make any sense
to me from a Modernist view...Bop can you save me...have
I fallen out of time????????
I've been away, and was told it had gotten a bit heavy in places, and somewhere in the back of my mind I just knew The Bat would be there to redress the balance. Oh I really would have your babies, oh Batty one.
Oh and for the record, cane me or not, I am a Mod and I dare to be different from everyone, including other Mods. And I love it.
