Personally I couldn’t care less about the socially constructed rules regarding the appropriate type and style of fabric that one wears to cover their body (a.k.a., “fashion”). I figure as long as you are not leaving the house naked, I have no say over what clothes you choose to wear. Forcing someone to stop wearing certain clothes/shoes just because they do not meet *your* sensibilities is self-serving and rude. If you don’t like white pants, cargo pants, or running shoes, don’t wear them. Problem solved!

p.s. I had a look at the ‘About’ section of your blog. I’m an INTP. Turns out we’re probably not as different (at least personality wise) as you might have imagined!

I saw you’re excited for Elvis Costello touring… i can’t friggin wait.

They have this ridiculous energy and repore with their aussie fans. Its hot blooded and crazy but in a good way.

I was fortunate enough to see Mariachi El Bronx Bronx in Austin earlier in the year and i can say we’re in for a treat. Mexican and Bronx is the perfect mix..

In my experience, make-up rarely makes a person look better. It only makes them look different. This is a qualitative rather than quantitative measurement and is thus entirely subjective- others not only can, but will disagree. Yet having spent significant time on the stage, I know that the usual use of stage make-up is to prevent actors from getting a ‘washed out’ look under the lights- to highlight their features. There are also the more obvious uses. At least twice I’ve played the role of men well into old age, parts I could never have played believably without the assistance of make-up. So if you wish to masquerade as something other than yourself, sure, make-up is reasonable. The same is true with extraordinary conditions such as bright stage or set lights. Otherwise? Come as you are.
