Cavariccis
Jul. 20th, 2016 09:13 amLast night, my writer's group held a writing jam. This is basically us getting together at our regular bar, having a few beverages, and writing. Now, lest you ask "why do you need to go somewhere to write?" let me assure you that I sometimes wonder that myself. Then the topic of the title came up.
Three of my group members are of the female persuasion, and I came to a part of my story where a teenager in 1992 would want and/or be impressed by a gift of some type of clothing. The question was what?
One of the women in the group said, without looking up from her laptop, "Cavariccis." The other male and I asked "what the hell are those?" The answer is expensive and high-fashion designer jeans and pants. Said pants were a fad for a couple of years in the late 80s and early 90s, then (thankfully) disappeared from the scene.
A bit later, we got into another fashion discussion at which I was told that teenagers of the age of my characters were about the label. Again, useful advice. A man could learn something from a writer's group!
