To represent various decades, New York Magazine profiled people whose fashion and style personify each era. For the nineties, some bloke is living minimally after selling most of his possessions:
Of the one small sofa, a George Nelson daybed, he says: “I can only sit in one place at a time.” ...Needless to say, Freeman isn't exactly stoking the economy; mostly he buys food. His few CDs -- hidden in a built-in drawer -- are minimalists Philip Glass, Steve Reich, and La Monte Young.
The sixties mod woman is at least respectable. The seventies rocker guy scares me.
LOL! The "rocker guy" and I are the same age. I was a "big hair" rock guitarist back in those days too, but I evolved. He didn't. He doesn't scare me so much as he elicits deep feelings of pathos in me: Kinda sad, isn't it? Why do some people cling to a long lost youth instead of continuing to grow?
