The Borgess Run Camp Fashion Committee on Saturday, meeting for the first time since last April, got a sobering look at what may be in store for the Winter of 2010-2011.
"That was frightening," said Camp Color Coordinator Tessa Emenheiser, interim chair of the committee, which meets every Saturday afternoon for the first four weeks of camp and once a month after that. "I've seen less successful 'black-outs' at Bronco football games."
The camp's Fashion Committee advises camp and community leaders about weather trends, economic conditions and societal mood swings, based on their extensive knowledge of what dress says about the human condition.
Building on such relationships as the link between rising hemlines and a rising economy, the Fashion Committee includes two Ph.D economists, a meteorologist, a fashion designer and Emenheiser, who has a background in commercial development and a flair for law. She said nothing should be made of the fact that she, herself, was wearing black Saturday.
While the Committee's reports are never made public (and are now protected from WikiLeaks), the emergence of black early in the season over the camp's 17-year history has not boded well for weather.
"We're going to get slammed," predicted Gazelle Sports store manager Rob Lillie, a former member of the committee and a finalist for the still-vacant Camp Historian position.
Emenheiser cautions that camp normally begins in late January, so that will be factored into the Committee's report and recommendations.

I believed that black was reserved for Fridays, during the holiday shopping season. This is some crackerjack journalism by the RCB.
