Turn the other Chico

Kanji Aiso asks if the men of Chico, California care about fashion.

In Chico, however, it's doubtful that people want explosive fashion. From the perspective of a foreign resident, Mika Shikano, a 22-year-old Chico State student from Japan, Chico is the most casual town in terms of fashion she has ever seen.

"The men in Chico, especially, seem to have no sense of fashion," Shikano said. "In the summer, half of all Chico State men seem to wear Old Navy shorts and T-shirts on campus. In winter, they wear hooded sweatshirts and baggy pants. It seems like all students wear the same type of clothing."

"Men of Chico, stop your dreaming / Time to start your fashion-seeking..."

Good-grief, Chico's up in the Redneck Sticks of California - although a fairly liberal pot-head enclave - mostly famous for winning a Playboy Poll about Top Party Colleges - that's why my brother went there anyhow...and it's hotter than hell in the summer - they'd go around naked if they could, and it would be ugly. Chico's it's about as far from "Fashion" as you can get, intellectually, socially, culturally, and politically - they're just too stoned. Or drunk. Party on, dudes.
