FADS Trends Catch On Have you ever found yourself caught up in the times? You have if you found yourself in an alligator shirt, listening to new wave music on a Walkman, cruising the sidewalk in Vans, or even reading a Garfield comic book. Yes, you’ve been caught up in those timely crazes called FADS. Everyone has been caught up in fads at one time or another. In the Fifties it was bobby socks, leather jackets, pleated skirts, and slicked-back hair. In the Sixties it was mini-skirts, peace symbols, and hippy living. In the Seventies it was bell pants, straight hair and wooden high heels. Now, in the Eighties, people have their own ideas. They wear what they want, anything from mini-skirts, leg warmers, or head bands, to plain old blue jeans. They do what they want, listen to loud music, ride in fast cars, and go to the arcade to play video games. Clothes are the biggest fads, like dressing preppy, wearing Izod (alligator) shirts, Levis’ 501 and boat shoes. Brand names play a major part-Calvin Klein, Rocky Mountains, Vans, Vuarnets, Nikes, and Topsiders, are some of the names that have taken over this year. Fads start in large cites like New York, or Los Angeles and work their way up the coasts to other large cities, then out to the little towns. You think you’re not into fads? Think again. Have you ever played Pac-Man or Defender, or one of the many Atari games on a T.V.? Did you hear about the Rick Springfield concert in Medford this year and wish you could have gone? Do you have a pair of Nike shoes or Sara jeans? Have you ever bought a record by “The Who” “Journey” “Lover Boy” “Rush” “Styx” or “Foreigner”? Did you get your hair cut or styled like a rock singer you saw, or maybe some professional athlete, or a T.V. or movie star? What about the last soft drink you ordered. Did you choose it because you remembered seeing an ad for it on T.V., and it guaranteed you a slimmer, more attractive body? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you belong to the fad-craze of 1982- 1983. Opening 5
