The Question: “What Do Your Clothes Say About You?”

Mon., June 28, 1999

Compiled By Erin Haick, Dorinda

“They say that I am a nice person, and I’m smart.”

Jennifer Burda, Spokane

“I think the clothes that I wear show off my personality and who I am. I think I have my own style in clothes and it’s just a way for me to express myself.”

Jaime Johnson, North Central

“I am a ladies’ magnet.”

Travis Humphries, Rogers

“My clothes say that I’m original, that I like to stand out. It’s not like I’m trying to get attention, but I do it because I like to. I like stupid-funny T-shirts and plaid pants.”

Sarah Linnenmeyer, Jenkins

“It’s like individual expression, I guess. I don’t want to look like everyone else. I like bright colors. They make me happy.”

Katie Kinyon, Jenkins

”(My clothes) are saying I’m not naked!”

Traudel Paul, Jenkins

“My clothing is mostly casual jeans, khakis, T-shirts, etc. Nothing too flashy or racy. My clothes reflect the fact that I am comfortable and happy. Not only with myself, but my surroundings.”

Jarod Breshears, Colfax

“My clothes show that I’m an individual and I don’t care about what people think!”

Gabe Gants, Davenport

”(They say) I’m not rich, I’m not poor. I’m not a thug, skater or prep. I dress normal.”

John Magee, North Central

“I’m lazy.”

Erika Hicks, Lewis & Clark
