Summary

Absurd Fashion Trends explores the often-bizarre history of clothing, revealing how fashion choices reflect societal anxieties, technological advancements, and the enduring human quest for status. This journey through history examines the power of fashion as a social communicator, highlighting how clothing has united and divided societies. The book reveals that even seemingly ridiculous trends, like the towering hairstyles of 18th-century Europe, are rarely arbitrary, often stemming from complex social, economic, and technological forces.

 
The book progresses chronologically, examining specific eras and trends, such as the leg-mutton sleeves of the Victorian era and the hobble skirts of the early 20th century. Each case study delves into the trend's origins, social impact, and eventual decline, enriched by historical fashion plates and accounts.

 
By dissecting these historical trends, the book offers a unique perspective on understanding the human condition through the lens of fashion sociology, fashion economics, and cultural studies.

    Located an hour away from San Diego, the small town of Blackmont, California, is known for its peaceful surroundings and majestic lakes. However, secrets and danger lurk just below the surface. And some secrets could prove to be deadly. 
 
 
 
Love may be a distraction neither of them will live to enjoy . . . 
 
 
 
When Zahra Chandler unexpectedly inherits her grandfather's small-town home and bookstore, she jumps at the chance to leave LA. There's just one problem: she also, unknowingly, inherits a long-buried secret that someone would go to any lengths to protect, including murder. The only thing standing between her and a killer is the town's arrogant, but irresistibly sexy sheriff—a man who ignites in her a passion she's never felt. 
 
 
 
Kendall McKnight takes his job as sheriff seriously and is always prepared for anything . . . except his instant attraction to newcomer Zahra. As they're drawn together in their search for clues, protecting her becomes less about civic duty and much more about carnal desire and he's in danger of losing the one thing he vowed never to risk again—his heart. But the threat is closer than they realize and the truth could tear them apart forever. 
 
 
 
Contains mature themes.

    Tuskegee Airmen and Montford...

    The United States has no shortage of famous military units, from the Civil War’s Iron Brigade to the 101st Airborne, but one would be hard pressed to find one that had to go through as many hardships off the field as the Tuskegee Airmen, a group of African American fighter pilots who overcame Jim Crow at home and official segregation in the military to serve their country in the final years of World War II. In fact, it required a concerted effort by groups such as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and the extreme circumstances brought about by World War II that the military eventually decided to establish the “Tuskegee Experiment.” 
The black crews trained at Tuskegee before being sent overseas, and even then, they faced discrimination from those who didn’t trust them to do more than escort bombers flown by white pilots. However, as the men proved their worth in the heat of battle, some of the squadrons’ red markings helped them earn the nickname “Red Tails,” and their track record was so good that eventually the white pilots of American bombers wanted to fly with them. As Tuskegee airman Roscoe Brown eloquently put it, “They have a saying that excellence is the antidote to prejudice; so, once you show you can do it, some of the barriers will come down.” 
In the summer of 1942, the first group of African American recruits stepped off a bus into the pine woods of North Carolina, bound for an experiment the Marine Corps had long vowed never to attempt. Their destination - Montford Point, a hastily constructed satellite to the new Camp Lejeune - was more than a training ground. It was a compromise with democracy, a segregated doorway into an institution that had defined itself for generations by who could not enter. The Corps’ exclusivity had a racial edge, as the Marines had barred black men outright from 1798 all the way up the start of the Second World War.
