I got the bright idea my senior year of high school (1991) that what would really add to my look was an authentic Australian Outback full length duster jacket....I still have no idea why, how, or who planted that absurd idea in my head. I was working after school so I saved up $200.00, a crap load of money for a senior in high school back then, walked into this safari store that used to be in business in Fayetteville, slapped the cash down and was told by the clerk I had purchased a truly superior jacket....I guess I forgot I lived in Arkansas or something. I bought the jacket on the weekend, so first thing Monday I roll up into the school parking lot, jump out of my car, adjust my duster, roll the sleeves up like we were prone to do back then, and head toward the front door of the school prepared to start a new fashion trend. That happened at around 7:45am. By 8:05 am, right before the first bell, I sprinted back to my car, rolled the duster into a ball and locked it in the trunk of my car. For those 20 minutes or so, I was the pariah of the school. It seemed like a good buy that weekend, but it was never worn again and my mom sold it in a yard sale for something like five bucks. Everyone addressed me using a cheesy Australian accent for the rest of the year.....that included most of the students and a majority of the teachers...
