In this excerpt from "Acheron" by Sherrilyn Kenyon, Tory expresses her inability to embrace the disco fashion trend, humorously claiming she's allergic to polyester. She reflects on how she would have struggled to fit in with that style during its popularity. Her struggle with fashion is lighthearted and relatable, highlighting the challenges of conforming to social trends.
Acheron responds with a compliment, suggesting that Tory has a unique style that rivals even that of celebrated figures like John Travolta. This conversation emphasizes Tory's connection to the punk movement, which allowed her to express herself authentically, rather than conforming to the disco aesthetic that she disliked.
