Its early Saturday morning, Martha Stewart is all over the television. I'm bored with that so I make myself a pot of tea and started surfing the web for British Mod fashions. "Quadrophenia" by The Who and the whole subculture can be found on a variety of sites. I wanted to read more about the subject, ever since receiving a target bull’s eye insignia Mod bag as a Christmas gift in 2003. The bag is great for carrying my Paul Frank change purse, lip gloss and camera. I can sling it across my shoulder and take off. Underground mods turned up in Brighton UK, in the 60's and the culture still resonates even today. Scooters appear in Shag art, and Capri pants with button down blouses remain a staple in woman’s fashion. Austin Powers brought Mod awareness to the fore front, from the groovy attitude to the mini skirt. I remember the influence in the 80's. The shirts and ties, the cigarette pants, a clean, Ivy League school, look. I think it’s hot!
