![]() ![]() I was raised by my oddball parents as an agnostic vegetarian non-athlete but I did my best to play a sport and wear Gap and surreptitiously pick off the pepperoni from pizza. Everyone was excited when Olive Garden moved in to the less popular mall off our town’s four lane highway. Music was mostly limited to classic rock, metal, and top hit R&B or pop music on the radio. I was twelve, an 8th grader, living in a Massachusetts suburban/rural town where playing sports was everything and almost everyone was white and the fashion choices were Gap, Benetton, or LL Bean. I’ll get to Pink Smog later, but first I want to indulge in some nostalgia and talk about what the original 1989 Weetzie Bat means to me. ![]() So I just read Francesca Lia Block’s 2012 prequel to her Weetzie Bat series called Pink Smog. All the Weetzies: Bottom left Weetzie cover is the REAL cover as far as I’m concerned ![]()
