Old tales from muddy White Center
JERRY ROBINSON 1920 – 2014
By Jerry Robinson, Publisher This column originally appeared in this paper 09/15/2008 In 1950, the main street of White Center was only two paved lanes in the middle of eight blocks of huge mud holes whenever it rained. The county territory was ruled by Republican Bill Sears, who probably never got a vote from the hugely Democrat citizenry. We got frustrated with governmental neglect. We ran a series of front-page cartoons depicting the muddy life of a fictitious groundhog that loved the road even though he had to scamper out of the way when drivers splashed into his territory. After several weeks of swamping our
readers with watery woes, local businessman Omar Schau came charging into our office and after castigating us for our literary attempts, suggested that if we didn’t like it we could always go back to wherever we came from. He then left in a huff, but was back six months later to announce he had managed to form a Local Improvement District to get four lanes of paved road in the business district. This had to cost him a bundle because he owned a lot of business frontage on the street. I was impressed. I thought he was just a hard-working muffin maker at the White Center Bakery but he was a lot more than that. He owned a lot of property on the main drag and even owned the land where the White Center Fieldhouse and Mel Olsen Stadium are located. He gave that property to the county and the federal WPA built the field house in the late 1930s, a building that is still in use today by area kids. The Seattle city limits extend south to the middle of Roxbury Street. It has always been smooth driving. The county is responsible for the road on the south side and, until 1956, it was one ugly continuous chuckhole. One day a boy named Byron Kinghammer was walking up the road when a car hit a chuckhole and when the driver lost control, swerved off and killed the boy. Omar, now willing to talk to us, helped us to put the pressure on the county and since then Roxbury has been paved on both sides. The other day I got a book written by one
r e t bs o L r e n n i D
of the town’s most famous citizens. Richard Hugo grew up in Highland Park in the Seattle side of White Center. Called “The Real West Marginal Way,” the book is the author’s autobiography, a tale of growing up on the hard streets of the Depression years. A student at Highland Park Elementary, he tells a fascinating tale of his family's struggle and talks about his childhood abandoned by his father, his schoolyard haunts and boyhood buddies like Elmer Matson who worked in the back of Bunge Hardware as a pre-teen boy filling sacks with Corry’s slug bait. Matson eventually worked his way into ownership. And his buddy was Ralph Schau with whom he played baseball.

SERVING WEST SEATTLE & WHITE CENTER SINCE 1923
A sanctuary for spiritual adventure
By Reeve Washburn, Art Walk Coordinator When you come through the door, you feel creative energy and a joyful sense of possibility. Inner Alchemy, Treasures and Transformation, located on 35th Ave. S.W. and S.W. Webster, is a community-based business where you are invited to come and be curious, explore and expand your most authentic self. The space, now in its second year, is an emerging hub for holistic practitioners and those who are interested in trying unique modalities like reiki, sound healing, healing mediumship, or attending regular events of meditation, drumming circles, kundalini and yin yoga. The idea for the space grew out of owner and founder Maari Falsetto’s own need for community, a yearning that has given voice to the creativity of a collective of artists in West Seattle. Maari, a licensed Spiritual Practitioner (RScP) through the Centers for Spiritual Living in Seattle, has built her business to be a foundation and support for those who work with Inner Alchemy. Known as a Tribe, Inner Alchemy practitioners provide 25 different modalities that bring love, thriving and joy to those they work with. The idea of healing is at the core of their work, in one-onone or group sessions. As Maari described, we need to balance the time and energy we spend in the virtual world with positive, restorative activities, nurtured by tapping our own inherent power to heal. “The Art Walk has been a part of the fabric of the Inner Alchemy community from the very beginning.” Maari Falsetto, owner, Inner Alchemy
2019 AND BEYOND
Art Walk as Inspiration
Maari loves what art brings to the world, and knew she wanted to be part of the West Seattle Art Walk once she started her business. In fact, her grand opening celebration in November of 2017 was planned to be part of Art Walk, as a community party to meet the neighborhood. Each month features a unique theme expressed in the works exhibited—recent themes were “Generosity” and “Identity”—and the spotlight artist or artists hold a conversation about the theme before the party begins. For those curious about what Inner Alchemy has to offer, there are complimentary experiences like essential oil hand massages, demonstrations about intuitive art, or tarot readings. The retail space has a wide variety of inspired art and locally curated gifts, jewelry and selfcare products. “Creativity is within all of us, when we choose to make the time and space for it.” Maari Falsetto, owner, Inner Alchemy
Meaningful Connections Between Artists and Business Owners
Inner Alchemy’s creative mission is three-pronged: to empower artists to show their work; to inspire artists to create new work; and to help businesses support artists’ efforts while building community. Maari attributes their vibrant Art Walk experiences to be a result of the intentional work shared with her Inner Alchemy Artist Collective partners Tami Benson and Costinel Anciu to create an environment where
WSLETTERS
To the editor: The US/World environment has become more volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) as government and business organizations see it. This environment is likely to continue for the foreseeable future. Most of the information that follows comes from organizations such as the Bureau of Labor Statistics, MIT, World Economic Forum, and other various governmental and professional sources. Not every trend or forecast is good or bad and many reflect new and encouraging opportunities. Specifically, a few world/national/Seattle trends/forecasts are: Technology: • Digitization: Transformation of organizations, products, services, crime, war, to digital wherever possible, leading to a potential loss of security, and continual need to upgrade skills. Digital devices will become smaller, lighter, faster, and more interconnected by the billions. Smart phones will provide real-time language translation, serve as health monitors, education platforms, financial managers, confidants, counselors, coaches, and teachers as processing speeds begin to exceed the processing speed of the human brain; communication bandwidth becomes essentially unlimited; and applications become artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and augmented reality enabled.
Robots will become caregivers for old and young alike as well as the disabled. Physical wars will be increasingly fought with robots as will policing. Information warfare will increase, both in cyber space as well as physical space and will be both internationally driven as well as domestically driven—think in terms of domestic civil wars between various groups of people. Many transportation and manufacturing activities will be automated with a loss of millions of jobs. Considering truck driving alone with around 5 million drivers, the loss of jobs in trucking and other fields could be in the tens of millions nation-wide due to increasing automation and mechanization. Jobs that are high skilled and low routine will be safe for now. Low skilled and high routine jobs may become more vulnerable. • Energy: an increasing demand for energy and a gradual replacement of fossil fuels with solar, wind, geothermal, and possibly nuclear. Energy needs may double over the next 20 years and at the same time, a need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Environment: • Climate change: leading to a rapid extinction of species, loss of fresh water and arable land, warming oceans and land, loss of forest land, ocean acidification, raising sea levels, and human and other species migrations. Bugs and disease will move

emerging and established artists can flourish and West Seattle can gather. Maari’s vision is to create a new Art Walk nexus with the businesses, restaurants and cafes in her neighborhood, guiding their startup process by Inner Alchemy’s learnings.
January Theme: Nourish
For so many of us, January is a time when we want to make change. Often that means a change in diet, but for many it is need to fulfill deeper meaning, like being loved, being seen or being appreciated. In-
ner Alchemy’s monthly Art Walk theme “Nourish” supports that need for change from spiritual, physical and inspirational perspectives, with experiences as well as exhibited works. Inner Alchemy will host three chefs creating unique pieces of culinary edible art, with fun, delightful plays of color, texture, and flavors. Guests can enjoy gorgeous still life photographic portraits of fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as complimentary mini sessions with practitioners of reiki, hypnosis, tarot and aroma-touch hand massage.

BALLARDNEWS-TRIBUNE Now and then, and now
PEGGY STURDIVANT I
was not wearing my columnist hat at The Ballard Historical Society event featuring Seattle Now & Then: The Historic Hundred. In fact I was wearing a jaunty cap and a shingler’s apron that had belonged to Stuart Mork’s grandfather. I was juggling my role promoting the “Mapping Historic Ballard” project with being an audience member. Also I’d brought a comfortable chair from home, requested by historian Paul Dorpat for the event. I was not planning to write about the evening. But once I’d reached for my camera, collectively charmed by Paul Dorpat, Jean Sherrard, Clay Ealsm and Ken Workman, how could I deny history? Since the book launch in late October 2018, Dorpat, Sherrard and Eals have been traveling throughout Puget Sound doing presentations of the “coffee table book” which Jean Godden discussed last November. Well-known since early 1980’s for his “Seattle Now & Then” column in The Seattle Times, Dorpat’s stories behind archival photos have produced over 1800 pieces, along with books, documentaries and a blog with additional material. Since 2008 local artist, actor and photographer Jean Sherrard has been providing “then” photos, and working closely with Dorpat. I know all of this because former West Seattle Herald journalist and Southwest Seattle Historical Director Clay Eals, who has been collaborating with Dorpat for 30+ years, wrote the excellent forward to the gorgeous new book. Co-sponsored by Sunset Hill Community Association the December 12, 2018
SERVING BALLARD SINCE 1891
event was also an opportunity to dress for either “now” or “then,” share mulled wine and treats, and be part of the traveling comedy routine that is Dorpat & Sherrard. I was representing “then” in an effort to promote the expanded offering of the Ballard Historical Society, the results of the comprehensive street survey and analysis at mapping.ballardhistory.org. Since our project was subtitled “Shingletown to Tomorrow” I’d borrowed everything from the boots up to the hat (and the shingles). Anyone who has attended a presentation of Dorpat & Sherrard may be familiar with their format of showing an original photo and then a photo of an attempted recreation. Dorpat, who recently celebrated his 80th birthday, intersperses Sherrard’s more straightforward narrative with his own crowd questions and asides. The audience is asked to opine on the location of an original photo, many of which date back to early 20th Century. On this particular night, given that it was sponsored by 30 year-old Ballard Historical Society and 96 year-old Sunset Hill Community Association, the audience skewed to extremely interested, and knowledgeable. (Also, mostly familiar faces since I’ve been haunting Ballard and interviewing its denizens for over 30 years). But there was a man in the back row wearing a bright yellow coat who I didn’t recognize. The journalist and author Clay Eals had been charged with getting boxes and boxes of hefty books to the second floor of the clubhouse. Along with Gavin MacDougall he was recognized in person that night for above and beyond contributions. Ballard resident and photographer Gavin MacDougall has been transferring original columns to digital so the “past” will not be lost. As with the maps now available on the “Mapping Historic Ballard” site, the whole evening was decidedly interactive. Dorpat and his band are bringing history alive in multiple ways. They closed with a photo, circa 1890, of Kikisoblu, eldest daughter of Chief Seattle, renamed Angeline by an early Seattle matriarch. The “now” photo brought together two direct descendants, Mary Lou Slaughter and Ken Workman. They were posed near the Pike Place Market alley that descends to the gum wall. Sherrard finally revealed the identity of the mystery man in yellow. Ken Workman himself, the greatgreat-great-great-grandson of Chief Sealth.

My husband was first to shake Workman’s hand, telling him what an honor it was to be able to do so. The subsequent sales and autographs were more like a receiving line, with Dorpat at the end, writing personal messages and fielding questions and suggestions. As the Ballard Historical members restored the venue, Sherrard and Eals took advantage of Dorpat’s presence to have him autograph ahead for bookstore deliveries. I learned that it’s not really over until the guest of honor vacates the chair, especially when it’s your chair.

Dorpat mused over my husband’s last name while signing, wondering if he was related to a friend. Martin told him, “I know all the Tollefsons to whom I might be related.” Dorpat gestured magisterially for him to draw an ear closer in order to whisper, “That might not be true.”

north; some villages, towns, and cities may be forced to retreat from rising seas. Snow pack will be reduced resulting in shorter snow seasons and reduced snowpack meaning less fresh water available and shorter winter sports seasons. • Destruction: Increasing deforestation; pollution (such as plastic, greenhouse gases, and other contaminants); and over harvesting of fisheries and sea foods. • Transportation: increasing gridlock in cities with continued lost time in commuting. Increasing need and demand for transportation such as bus, light-rail, and autonomous vehicles. Social: • Demographics: a continued decline in the percentage of Caucasians with an increase in percentages of minority groups including Asians, African-Americans, and Hispanics. US population will increase from about 310 million people today to around 400 million by 2040-2050, with about 50% living in 8 states and 70% living in 16 states with most of them living in cities. Caucasians will make up less than 50% of the US population within 25 years. Currently the US is about 80% urban/suburban and 20% rural and over the next 20 to 30 years, there will be continued migration from rural to urban areas. Population aging (about 10,000 people a day reach age 65 in the US) will increase thus requiring more health care, elder care, financial care, and adequate housing. The Seattle area is expected to increase by over 1 million people over the next 10-15 years. • The US now ranks 33/34 of the OECD nations in terms of obesity. • The top 10-30% of the population will become more mobile, educated, technologically savvy, with a continued decline of religious belief. Economic: • Increasing inequality in terms of wealth, income, charitable giving, education, civic involvement, housing, health / lifespan, and opportunity. • The top 85 people in the world have as much money as the bottom 3.5 billion people. • The top 5% in the US make up about 35% of the consumption of goods and services • US student loan debt exceeds credit card debt and is about $1.5 trillion dollars and growing. • About 20% of the US GDP or about $3 trillion dollars/year is spent on health care. • An increasing cost of living, especially in major high-technology cities. • US social security funds will diminish by around 2035 without significant policy changes. • Retirement may be postponed for many people given that savings is not keeping up with longevity. Retirement age may likely have to be raised from 65, 66, or 67 to perhaps 70 or above. • An increasing global demand for products and services (good for Seattle) with an increasing need for solutions to social, political, and environmental problems. Political: • Increasing polarization and fragmentation. • Potential realignment of Republican and Democratic parties. • Potential realignment of cities/states/US based on population size and growth, economics, culture, and political power.

WSOBITUARY
RUDY VIGGIANO 12/4/1954 – 12/27/2018
Skidding in sideways laughing and enjoying every minute of life, Rudy has gone fishing one last time. Whether he was in Yakutat fishing for halibut, Puget Sound fishing for salmon, Cabo fishing for marlin, or San Diego fishing for blue fin or yellow tail tuna, fishing made Rudy happy. Hunting was a close second. Tromping through the trees for deer or elk with his son and friends, the “rat pack”, made Rudy happy. Rudy was an extraordinary chef and entrepreneur, starting five restaurants including “Little Italy West” on Bainbridge Island, “Rudy’s Little Italy” and “Pizza Bella” in Normandy Park, “Viggiano’s” in Federal Way, and “Adesso” in Olympia. Rudy was recognized for his tasty dishes through numerous articles, Seattle’s Best Places, and Seattle’s Cheap Eats. With a background in French cuisine, Rudy’s Italian dishes were delectable. Through his restaurants, Rudy became a skilled negotiator and later used those skills as a real estate agent, always working for the best deal for his clients. Rudy served in the Air National Guard, receiving recognition for his physical readiness and shooting ability, scoring 300 out of 300, the highest score in his unit. His commander called Rudy a gifted and well-rounded young man, who would go far in life. Born to Louis Viggiano and Margaret Redmond, both deceased, Rudy grew up in Palos Verdes, California with his three sisters: Josie Bracken, Luann Viggiano, and Jeanne Keef. Luann, who took extraordinary care of Rudy in his final days, is his sole surviving sibling. Rudy brought life to three children: Cynthia Pollmann, Susan Viggiano, and Joseph Viggiano and has four grandchildren. Rudy was immensely proud of his beloved children and grandchildren taking them on many fishing, camping, and skiing trips. Rudy’s final years were spent with his life partner, Dana Skube, who cared for him to his last breath. When you see a fish jump, you’ll know Rudy is near.

WESTSIDE SEATTLE FRIDAY, JANUARY 11, 2019 7
Flyfishing as an intergenerational experience By Sarah McKay Aptly named for its location in the Pacific Northwest, Emerald Water Anglers is West Seattle’s only fly fishing shop. The first ten seconds you walk in you’re hooked. The merchandise, cozy leather chairs and the conversation are all designed with the nature lover in mind. You’re welcomed with warmth and curiosity for the customer’s needs. It’s a place you can sit down, chat about life, fish, nature, what you aim to catch; ten inches or twenty inches it’s all fodder for conversation. For owner, Dave McCoy, it’s about people’s stories, their lives and helping them explore. Over coffee on a rainy Seattle day, I asked Dave to tell me a fishing story. He thoughtfully recounts, “A woman came in to the shop to book a fishing trip with her dying father. All her father wanted her to do was watch her fish one more time. With her father in a wheelchair, she needed additional help. We readily obliged and three of us accompanied and carried her father to the river’s edge. He passed away a week and a half later. She was so grateful for this one last time to spend with her father, we were moved to be a part of this experience.” This is one of many stories Dave has ex-
perienced. Needless to say, Dave McCoy offers kindness and a fondness for community; he enjoys the walking distance to shops and certainly the outdoor playground for fly anglers. Dave opened Emerald Water Anglers to broaden the sport and embolden all who desire to learn about fly fishing; he’s confident in the abundance it offers. Flyfishing is often characterized as an intergenerational, shared experience; a legacy you can leave and pass down to generations of family. It’s a bonding agent, a therapy brought to you through nature. Dave noted, “As you get older you reflect on the emotional experience that you want to share and hand down to your kids.” Generations of fly anglers pass down their passion, secret fishing spots, their flies and their rods to their children and often their children’s children to celebrate the rugged beauty and artful delicacy of fly fishing. Dave’s life philosophy is seen in his relationships with his family, community and his work within in the fishing industry. Each contributes to the other, an interwoven experience blending into the next to benefit the whole. He reminds us to share our passions and tell our stories, they are meant to be told.
My Micro-Generation
also don’t feel the unbridled optimism of Millennials. Personally, I never saw the appeal of Grunge music, but I also don’t understand the often surreal sense of humor that many Millennials prefer. Xennials are sometimes considered a micro-generation unto themselves because of the timing of some major transitions within society. First and foremost, the transition that took place in our formative years from an analogue life to a digital one. We didn’t grow up in an entirely tech age, but it began when we were still in school. I started spending time on America Online (“AOL”) when I was 16 and met my wife there at 19. For years we didn’t tell people how we really met because it seemed strange to find love on the internet, something that is commonplace for Millennials. We didn’t have cell phones, but pagers came about, and we got creative with numbers in a very rudimentary form of texting —“143” meant “I love you”. Most of the other codes weren’t so innocent. Carrying a pager meant that you weren’t “off the grid” when you weren’t home, and yet, when you responded with a phone call, you were likely to have to speak to an adult before you got your friend. We remember the sheer frustration of a busy signal, but also the delight of having “three-way calling”. Caller ID, and the ability to screen your calls, was a revolution! From a modern historical perspective, Xennials were born at a bad time. Those born in 1980 had only a 50% chance of earning more than their parents, compared to a 92% chance for those born in 1940, according to the Equality of Opportunity Project. There’s a scene in Mid-90’s in which the central characters are discussing what they’ll do for money when they’re grown, and it reminded me of the attitude my friends and I had back then. The world was changing so fast; the days of assuming we’d find blue-collar jobs that would provide a living wage were dying a slow death, and yet there were people striking gold in freshly minted industries that we couldn’t understand – almost no one did. We knew we needed to be on a trail to somewhere, but no one seemed to know
JAYSON BOYD L
ately, I’ve been thinking a lot about growing up in the 90’s. What spurred this, I think, is the recent release of a movie entitled Mid-90’s. This is the first time that I can recall a serious coming-of-age story based on the period in which I was coming of age, and so it got me contemplating things both before and after I saw the film. One conclusion that I came to is that we, in this age range, are sort of a forgotten peoples. The aforementioned movie certainly was not a blockbuster—it made about $7.4 million. That isn’t bad considering there were no big-name actors appearing in the film, although it was written and directed by Jonah Hill. The lack of interest in the film mirrors the lack of interest in the generation of kids forging their way during this period—called the Oregon Trail Generation, after the popular computer game that most of us played in school, or Xennials, a mash-up of the generations on either side. Xennials are the people born at the tail end of Generation X and the early years of the Millennials, generally between 1977 and 1983. It’s common for people born at the tail end of one generation or the beginning of another to exhibit traits of both generations. Most Xennials don’t subscribe to the apathy associated with Gen X, but

where the trails began or even ended, and, if they did, they weren’t telling us. Of course, it’s easy to see it now as an adult, and after we’ve all become accustomed to things like cost-of-living increases and wage stagnation, but it wasn’t so clear back then. One could argue that it’s a good thing Xennials aren’t talked about much. Hard-
ly a day goes by, it seems, that Millennials aren’t being denigrated for either actively “killing” something or being generally inactive. I suppose I just want to tell everyone that Xennials are here and present; and to all of my fellow Oregon Trail’ers out there, keep pulling those oxen and please take care not to die of dysentery.

34th District legislators hold town hall meeting January 12
Rep. Eileen Cody
JERRY ROBINSON CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2 Hugo, a gifted athlete, turned out to be a gifted writer and poet who later served as a bombardier in World War II. He came back and graduated from the UW. He died in 1982. His book led me to talking with Ralph, Agnes and John Schau, all still living here and all enjoying good health. I enjoyed hearing about Omar’s no-nonsense child rearing. On the job at the bakery at 4 a.m. six days a week he started training eldest son Johnny at age 16.
Rep. Joe Fitzgibbon
Rep. Eileen Cody and Rep. Joe Fitzgibbon are hosting a Town Hall event on Jan. 12 at the Delridge Community Center prior to the upcoming legislative session. Constituents are encouraged to attend a town hall with 34th District legislators on Saturday, January 12 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Delridge Community Center (4501 Delridge Way S.W.). Lawmakers will share thoughts on legislative priorities and answer questions from constituents on a range of issues.
Johnny failed to get up one morning so Omar phoned, got Ralph and demanded he wake up Johnny. Ralph got as far as the bottom stair, sat down, yelled once and fell asleep. Omar had to rush home and yell around a bit. John not only had to learn how to make bear claws and apple pies but he was also the delivery truck driver serving as far south as Wright’s grocery in Seahurst and as far north as High Point. Omar was a stern taskmaster but his kids all turned out pretty well. Maybe that is what it takes.
Or maybe not. Richard Hugo was the product of a broken home, a grandfather who beat him and a grandmother he believed was deranged. He spent a lot of years hiding behind a whiskey bottle himself and ended up a much-decorated warrior and a remarkable teacher, lecturer, author and poet revered by thousands of readers. A 12,000 square-foot Victorian building that once was a funeral home in Seattle is called Richard Hugo House and is owned and operated by thousands of his fans all over the world.

Legal/Public Notices must be received no later than 12 noon on Friday PUBLIC NOTICE SOUTH SEATTLE COLLEGE TO CONDUCT REACCREDITATION EVALUATION, SEEKS PUBLIC COMMENT The Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU) will conduct a site visit on the campus of South Seattle College, April 24-26, 2019. The purpose of this visit is to perform a comprehensive evaluation of the College. NWCCU reviews institutions on a seven-year accreditation cycle. Accreditation by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU) represents the Commission’s judgement that an institution is satisfactorily achieving its mission and educational purposes and that it meets or exceeds NWCCU standards of quality and effectiveness. NWCCU is South Seattle College’s regional accrediting body. SSC was initially accredited in 1975 and has continuously maintained its accreditation through NWCCU since that time. The Commission most recently reaffirmed the accreditation of SSC in February, 2014 on the basis of a Year Three Resources and Capacity evaluation.

The past is now our future

ust when I thought I had seen it all in the trendy worlds of fashion, art and pop culture, it turns out that I’m seeing them all again. Mary Poppins returns; “A Star Is Born” is remade, and Star Wars: Episode IX begins filming this year. Cher is back as a musical with lookalikes dressed in Bob Mackie creations like the famous naked dress. “Broadcast News,” a 1987 movie, is now reborn as a Broadway play and so is “To Kill a Mockingbird,” taken from Harper Lee’s 1960 novel. “Back to the Future” is not only a trend, it’s a revival of fashions from the Michael J. Fox time-travel movies. Today Nike is selling a Back to the Future shoe and celebrities are wearing moon boots again. There’s a Back to the Future leather jacket and trendsetters have been seen in bell
bottoms and granny dresses. As Yogi Berra once famously said, it’s deja vu all over again. It is difficult to know what to make of all the prevailing retro fashions. But, fleeting as most fads are, they do have a way of coming back—sometimes even the most controversial crazes. Take the famous safety-pin dress, a daring gown that caught the public eye in 1994. It was worn by starlet Elizabeth Hurley when she accompanied her boyfriend Hugh Grant to the premier of “Three Weddings and a Funeral.” The safety-pin gown was a slinky black dress slit up to here and slashed down to there, but held together with giant gold safety pins. The outfit is back again—half a century later—with even more slits, slashes and twists. So too are faux Egyptian designs, sort of a takeoff on King Tut or maybe a rebirth of actress Elizabeth Taylor playing Cleopatra. The revival outfits are coupled with Cleo bangles, retro golden sandals and pyramid-shaped clutches. There’s a King Tut bikini, something the boy king probably didn’t wear, but boldly emblazoned with familiar Egyptian motifs. How to explain all this nostalgia gone viral? Is it a longing for simpler times? For days when things were less complex? Is it an attempt to relive the days of one’s youth or even dad’s and mom’s heyday? Certainly when it comes to fashion, it is not surprising to find styles sometimes repeating themselves. There are only so many ways to drape the human form and there are only so many innovative ap-

proaches to fashion. There are designers who think that, if a style worked once, why not again? Still one can only hope that some of the sillier retro looks won’t become widespread. To be avoided if at all possible is wholesale return of the one-piece jumpsuit, a low-cut, form-fitting garment that singer Beyonce’ recently revived. What’s never shown—fortunately—is the awkward situation that occurs when the jumpsuit wearer has to answer a call of nature. Other styles rumored to be surfacing and hopefully avoided include vinyl minidresses, not-in-nature animal prints, Cat’s eye bejeweled sunglasses, 1960s bouffant hairstyles and lots and lots of gratuitous gold buttons. While Seattle can be excused for wanting to remember the grunge era, do we really want to go
back to pairing thigh-high hemlines with high-top sneakers? Years ago, when I worked alongside fashion writers at the old print P-I, I was able to benefit from their wisdom. Susan Phinney, who covered fashion shows and fancy dress events, gave me a piece of valuable advice. She said, “If you wore it once, you don’t ever have to again.” So shelve all those jumpsuits and sparkly sunglasses, set aside those gold buttoned outfits and abandon your faux furs, I, for one, am never going to don another poodle skirt.
