Grunge Revival
WHEN did grunge become grunge? How did a five-letter word meaning dirt, filth, trash become synonymous with a musical genre, a fashion statement, a pop phenomenon?
A culture was born.
"Thrifting" is a verb in Seattle. Flannel and leatherette, the boho-hobo staples of second-hand attire, are the basics of a nonfashion statement. A flannel shirt worn around the waist is a precaution against the Pacific Northwest's mercurial clime. Army boots slog effectively through mud. "It wasn't like somebody said, 'Let's all dress like lumberjacks and start Seattle chic!' " Mr. Poneman said. "This stuff is cheap, it's durable, and it's kind of timeless. It also runs against the grain of the whole flashy esthetic that existed in the 80's."

Wanderlust
She used to want to be a ballerina. She used to want to be a paper swan.
She used to dance pretend for the prince of England with her deer-skin boots and her ballet makeup on.
She used to run among the forest branches costumed in the feathers and leaves she'd find,
practicing her pirouettes and prances, perfectly Pavlova in her mind.
La dat dat dat, la dat dat dat, oh look in your heart see where she's at. La dat dat dat, la dat dat dat, oh look in your heart see where she's at.
She used to want to be a ballerina. She settled for the satisfaction of her soul.
Rock and roll will never be Tchaikovsky but Tchaikovsky will never be rock and roll.
La dat dat dat, la dat dat dat, oh look in your heart see where she's at.
-Buffy Sainte-Marie's "She Used To Wanna Be a Ballerina" Lyrics.
