Although I don't follow celebrities' personal lives, I think the observation in your second paragraph that in SoCal, many people wear costumes, as opposed to East Coasters who "dress up," is dead on.<br /><br />I know quite a few folks who literally dress in costume all the time, especially women who dress in fetish gear (yup, in public), vintage, and pin up styles. I'm talking very thorough and detailed, including hair, eyeglasses, jewelry, tattoos, etc. Once I ran into a male colleague at lunch who was wearing a Batman cape, for no reason. These are generally very artsy people and some are professional performers, although most of them have traditional day jobs. I really like this because, as I believe about Halloween costumes, I think the outside matches what's inside. Why do that only one day a year?<br /><br />The only thing I can say about the celebs in question is that, as my friend said recently, when someone portrays himself as an "outlaw" and a rule-breaking rebel in virtually every other way on the outside, then it's probably best to assume he or she really is that way on the inside, and, for prospective significant others, "when you lie down with dogs, you get fleas."media conceptshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16686748640098344750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11084955.post-3869544378267970162010-04-05T18:37:53.745-04:002010-04-05T18:37:53.745-04:00Poor Ed Hardy probably never envisioned the likes ...Poor Ed Hardy probably never envisioned the likes of Jon Gosslein rockin' his T's.<br />As for Jesse James, I went on Sandra Bullock's say-so that he was a decent, loving guy who was merely a little rough around the edges.<br />But once I heard he was in a four-way with some geeky male tattoo artist, that slutty tattooed Nazi chick and another chick named Skittles, that did it.<br />I can handle most of it, but it's inexcusable to screw anyone named Skittles.Karen Zipdrivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10394557801356007952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11084955.post-4359635330979656902010-04-04T11:09:42.282-04:002010-04-04T11:09:42.282-04:00What a great take on this, one that pretty much ev...What a great take on this, one that pretty much everyone else missed.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16211942183359053245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11084955.post-14858123277212796122010-04-03T21:01:12.642-04:002010-04-03T21:01:12.642-04:00I had to google Ed Hardy to see what the fuss was ...I had to google Ed Hardy to see what the fuss was about.

It's true: there was more of a sliding scale between the "reals" and the "fakes" in that scene. Some of the fake blue collar types were utter and complete jerks with real old-fashioned attitudes, while some of the more "genuine" types, like my friend Dave Gibson, the tattoo artist, were great guys with enlightened attitudes.<br /><br />That's what made it so confusing!Peteykinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15960842777164948590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11084955.post-53828206738265321492010-04-03T16:19:05.481-04:002010-04-03T16:19:05.481-04:00Having once worked at a hot rod car magazine in Ca...Having once worked at a hot rod car magazine in California there are several layers of subtlety here between the rockabilly / rat rod group and the custom culture of the Jesse James types and a lot of is traceable through a very specific vein of California culture related to the armed forces. <br /><br />But to do so would just prove the point that's it's probably a bit silly. <br /><br />Still I miss it. I miss the levels of counterculture in California. They are different then they are here in NYC. But it shows people are trying anyway. I like that. DC used to have more of it in the 1990s but the subtleties of the gradations are starting to disappear some.Christopherhttp://inaudiblenonsense.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11084955.post-49882144352277296332010-04-03T14:41:36.986-04:002010-04-03T14:41:36.986-04:00She should DTMFA.
