'Surface Chic' ridicules society
On its surface. Surface Chle, a book by
James Charlton, is a harmless, humorous
look at society's fixation with labels.
But scratch that surface, and you find
that there are not a lot of funny things to
say about an entire movement based on
materialism.
You see, Charlton's book, destined to
be major moneymaker this holiday season.
is nothing more than lull-color lifesize
photographs of status symbols, complete
with dotted lines to cut on. Most also have
paper tabs that work on the same theory
as the paper dolls you played with as a kid.
Nothing is sacred to Charlton. The first
page alone contains a Tiffany box to cut
and fold, his and hers Rolex watches—
you may not be able to tell time, but you'll

certainly make time, Charlton tells us—a
huge diamond pendant, and a broach so
ugly it has to be real. "
Perhaps thefunniest comment of Charlton's
accompanies the jewelry: If anyone com¬
ments that this cut-and-paste jewelry
doesnt look quite right, just reply that it's
such a pain to get the original from the
safety deposit box."
The author supplies the reader with
labels galore. The conscientious consumer
can now have a Burberrys' trench coat, a
Norma Kamali dress (note: the only-thing
in the whole book that I honestly own),
three Bill Blass shirts, two pair of Bass
shoes, and no less than five Izod shirts.
And again, that's only on one page.
And all for less than the price of a
designer box of candy.
Okay, to the idea is good, the concept is
funny. But where does parody end and
bad taste begin?
With the "put-you r-picture-here" photo
of Henry Kissinger and the make-your.
own match books, that's where.
Charlton is capitalizing on a movement
that is not often parodized. It seems thai

Think about it. Dont you know at least
three or four people who you think would
just love this book—only they wouldnt
get the joke? The only thing they would
appreciate is that each page is backed with
a blank page. So if you want to cut out the

The Bulldogs, who had been stalled at
