Anita's fashion sense has always struck me as something that wasn't even particularly cool at the time it was in, though. The descriptions sound more like something my grandmother would have worn at the time, not someone who would even be attempting to be hip. o.<; Or that could just be my own personal bias. Because I loathe fanny packs. >.>;
And I'm not entirely sure your take on the midwest is absolutely correct. We do tend to be behind but 3-5 years seems like a little extreme. 6 months or even possibly a year, yeah, but we're not quite that out of touch. I'd give you a little longer in the 80s when LKH would have been growing up, true... but it seems to me that she was always just a little on the lame side to begin with from what I'm picking up. *laughs*
And I don't think the slang she uses is regionally based. Not from what I've heard from people from the St. Louis area, at least. I think it just shows LKH's severe inability to get with the times. XD;
