Cape women rally for fashion, Grunge gives way to Gucci here

But claim the men dress better

ong derided as the worst-dressed women in American where they were once lauded at the "feminine ideal".

Local women boycott Jeans and Woolrich and L. L. Bean



Cape Cod women have now organized to boycott the sale of bluejeans and Woolrich shirts in local stores. Spokeswomen for the group Women Against Grunge (WAG) Rene Wallace and Tap Skroob said the group will continue to picket until all local stores stock nothing but "frilly frocks for fillies" in their words.

This effort by these local women followed within hours the awarding of the annual "Worst Dressed Women" award to Barnstable County by the Fashion Institute of America on Friday.  The institute, whose motto is "Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we must change it every six months", said in a press release that they even had difficulty telling the women from the men on Cape Cod, but that the men dressed considerably better, especially those in Ptown.

This indictment so angered MS Wallace and Skoorb that they organized their nearly 57,000 member grassroots organization within seven hours and will begin their boycott at Puritans and the local Army & Navy stores today.
