A year or two ago, the" powers that be" in the fashion world decided it was time to introduce "60's retro" apparel--mostly, but not exclusively, for women, an mostly, but not exclusively, for young women, meaning teenagers. Now there are any number of ways to evoke the ambience of the 60's, but by far the easiest and and cheapest way is to simply slap a "Peace Sign" on everything--given that in America, nothing has been done unless it is has been done to excess, this (which I actually found today in the Exxon convenience store) is the ultimate marketing exploitation of the "Peace Sign"
