jL re we living in a material 1 world? Many people model j I themselves after pop rock stars like Prince, Madonna, and Cyndi Lauper, and the students at Braintree High are no exception. At first glance, some of the students look like they might have stepped off the stage at a concert hall. The style is wild with paisley, prints and plaids. On some days, the effect can be blinding. But even in the face of wild dressers, some still stick to the classics, wearing button-fly jeans and concert t-shirts, button-downs and other comfortable clothes. Keelin Smith admitted, I couldn ' t survive without my 501 jeans! How do students feel about the new, wild styles? Margo Jones said, Every- one should have their own styles and not be criticized for them. I love ' em, Tricia Anderson volun- teered. 1986 is a year of music videos, pop rock music, not only in the dress, but also at the under 2 1 nights at night clubs around the South Shore. Clubbing is big this year along with lip synching where people mouth the words to songs like popular singers. Although you are judged by how well you lip synch, that ' s only part of it. According to Patty Bren- nan, Winning a lip synch is like winning a popularity contest, but ever now and then people who deserve to win do win. Nevertheless, even if the lip synchers aren ' t real stars, lip synching gives kids from Braintree and other towns a !, chance to see what it is like to be on stage and win big cash prizes for their ! talent and courage. Many of this season ' s fashions can be found in Boston. According to Heidi ■ Strauss, Newbury Street is the way of [jj culture! Although these fashions are ; trendy, it seems many people dress ' alike. Amy Harrington believed, Each person should express individuality, but J it seems to be ... be a clone, be a clone, ' be a clone! i ' 1986 was the year for being original, i or even for being yourself. With every I new star, a new fashion trend arrived I and with every new trend, there were i Braintree kids in the middle of the fash- ion scene. 10 Fads and Fashions
