June 19th/2008:

There are those who accuse modern day punks of merely dressing the part. This is a very easy look to achieve because there are lots of places to get punk fashion ideas and its way easier to dress like a punk now than it was in the 60’s. Green hair dye and black nail polish were much harder to find back then. Critics of the modern day punk also maintain that the anarchist’s spirit has been lost and that punk is no longer about shaking up the system and causing a commotion. The first young lady in today’s post is proof that the punk spirit is still alive and well. Her outfit definitely has elements of punk and when I saw her, she and her friend were trying to inspire some anarchy on the subway using the mouse that she is pictured with. (They didn’t get very far, and I think a few people just thought it was really funny) Ok so it wasn’t the nicest thing to do but at least their not posers. Vivienne Westwood would be proud.

The second young lady in today’s post was as sweet as the chocolate bars that her shirt advertises. I think that a chocolate logo is worth wearing on a shirt. Great boots too!
