ethnic fashion & food

"ethnic jewellery" is all the rage in fashion these days. and what do fashion magazines and stylists mean when they say ethnic: "tribal, south american topaz and Native pieces." also popular are "ethnic slippers and sandals" such as "moccassins, chinese kung-fun slippers and Indian embroidered or embellished slip on shoes."

similarly, at most supermarkets, the "ethnic aisle" is where you would find fish sauce, couscous, curry, seaweed or nori, etc. funny how pasta is not in the ethnic aisle and when argyle print was all the rage, nobody bothered to declare "ethnic prints for sweaters are all the rage."

like C+C music factory once said, "things that make you go hmmmm" (btw, what the hell happened to Freedom and the gang anyhow?)
