Anyone seen this?

Although its mainly obviously from a woman's perspective and is mostly pictures, its still quite fun for a non-American like me. A lot of the pictures are from the sixties with a proportion of specially commissioned new ones. Covers not only clothing but houses, education (nice pic of a young Bobby Kennedy and pals on college steps), 'lifestyle', politics etc. Only jarring point when flicking through it was a recent advertising pic of J.Press gear. Not because of the clothes but that one of the models was...black. In amongst all that Wasp stuff it was quite strange and perhaps shows more about advertising than anything else.

Having grown up in Britain, with its inherent class system, it's always enlightening to find out more about our cousins structures and their differences and similarities.

One question prompted by one of the pictures. Are bright green trousers the hip thing to have in Waspland?
