So I'm writing a book, right. And I'm up to a section now that is bringing me back to 1998 & so, in turn, is bringing me to this website.
In February of 1998, I sat on the bed in my closet-size dorm room. The dorm overlooked the center of Villanova's campus, "the Quad". On the cereal box size TV screen in front of me, Marc Jacobs is telling Charlie Rose ‘kids want to rebel against their parents’. [14:43] But when I look out the window, all I see marching through the Quad is bright, shiny flesh. Scrubbed faces that move forward confident in a successful, invigorating, and promising future. These students were gorgeous. They strode though the Quad, past the Oreo, as if they had just stepped out of a J Crew catalogue.
Kids want to rebel? Not these kids. They wanted to revel in the mantel of expectation and material markers of their parents. They were looking forward to eagerly fulfill all expectation(s).
