One of the very first issues of Details Magazine had an article titled 
"How To Be Poor and Still Be Cool," or something like that. I really 
wish I had saved it. It was simultaneously condescending & amusing. Two 
of the suggestions I remember were: Orient your wardrobe around the 
color black. It can be cheaper, can make otherwise second hand type 
clothes not look as out of date, and usually automatically looks nicer. 
And another one was "be a vegetarian." It would cut your grocery bills 
(they said) and you would also "ooze credibility," something to play up 
when/if folks wondered about your being poor. I began to think it was 
all starting to sound rather Crass-ian.

I wonder if this piece is online anywhere. This was from the late 1990s 
or 2000.
