One Word, Two Ways: Pair
I could not be more happy to be part of this particular pair.
Lauren and I (Sister Disco) circa 1990-ish. Lauren was an ostrich in a school play. I felt proud. I still do.
Growing up, the end of every school year was met with a trip to Cedar Point Amusement Park. Though the rides were the obvious attraction, my friends and I would also entertain ourselves by seeing who could spot the highest number of “twinkies” aka couples who wore matching outfits. This was quite a common practice among some of the park guests, and one which initiated for me so many unanswered questions. Who purchased the outfits? Was one member of the pair presented with a few options from which to choose? How far into the relationship was it before the idea was broached? To this day, I have no answers for you, only memories of some seriously decked out duos.

As a Cedar Point employee in my late teens, I too marveled at matching outfits, ranging from mother and daughters to couples. My favorite however, although not the exact same were the couples where one, usually the girl wore a shirt that said “I’m with stupid” with an arrow pointed to her boyfriend.
