Things That Will Never Ever Ever No Matter What Be Uncool (a list which is important because if you ever think that these things are coming into fashion for the first time you should understand now that you are wrong):
- In fashion: Wrap dresses, Mary Janes, white cotton T-shirts with dark straight-leg denim.
- Batman
- The Sunday New York Times and The New Yorker
- Maurice Sendak
- Saying “I read the book but I haven’t seen the movie.”
- Taking your coffee black
- Travel, enjoying travel, reading or writing about travel, expanding on how or why you enjoy travel at dinner gatherings
- Marilyn Monroe
- In food: Brooklyn-style pizza, sushi of basically any kind, old-fashioned ice cream or gelato
- Times New Roman, size 12
The Sunday New York Times may never be uncool, but I am not spending five dollars on something I can get on the Internets for free.
Taking your coffee black is the only way to have it. It isn’t so much a matter of cool as it is a matter of necessity.
