Far be it from me to expect anything resembling forward-thinking discourse from a "chicks rock!" fashion spread, but it was more than a little disheartening to see the end result of
New York Times Magazine's style section giving itself over to "girls who play together sashay[ing] in the season's pitch-perfect ensembles." Said spread featured five all-female bands, 80% of which were full of
Feist archetypes who wore mostly dour expressions under their Emily The Strange makeup. (Only the two members of Yo Majesty were allowed to actually pose in a way that had the buoyancy suggested by the word "sashaying." Perhaps that was because Shunda K. told the interviewer that she knew God loved her? Or maybe it's just that their look doesn't really fit with the perpetual-schoolgirl affect that the other four pictures were obviously going for?)
