MODERN ENGLISH: A Trendy Slang Dictionary (Signed); Paperback
J. Blowdryer 93 pages (1986), Used
Reading Modern English can be a life-changing event. Jennifer Blowdryer is a sharp tongued anthropologist in a secondhand dress–and this was back before shopping at the Salvation Army was something you saw on the Style Channel. Cholo, Goth, Drug, D/s, Hardcore, Art Wreck, and Punk are just a few of the subcultures examined in this essential language & cultural guide. Her riffs on lounge lizards (“they’ve given up, but then again, they haven’t”) and mindless jerks who pick on the ultra hip (“they should be taking a closer look at the clothes they’ll be wearing in two years”) are funny and smart. As a record of true punk rock of its time, “Modern English”, by Jennifer Blowdryer really is something fun to read. The photos of REAL punks, in their home-made outfits make today’s Hot Topic-buying kids look like fools with no creative spark whatsoever. Cult book, as rare as shit….Signed by J. Blowdryer!
