What's the damage?

Don't know yet, he 'wants to talk' hoping it's nothing too serious.

There is a comedy inherent in the seriousness with which we all, at some point in our lives, take our appearance. Alot of us looked hilarious when we were young, but mostly because we thought we looked cool.

When I had my photo taken with that pioneer Shakin' Stevens in the Blackpool branch of HMV in the early '90s while dolled-up in my dungarees, bumbag, puppy-fat and cheap sunglasses hanging round my neck from a tacky fluorescent yellow cord I'm sure I thought everyone admired my flex. Back then I wasn't wrong. Same applies for the denim jacket and dyed green hair look I sported when my Incredible Hulk adoration was the only game in town.

The same holds true for my Morten Harket from A-ha infatuation beforehand - when a family friend bought me those stringy bracelet things he wore like an escaped lunatic free of the straight-jacket I wore them until they dropped from my wrist like my teenage voice finally free of Scandinavian pop hooks. So you're quite right.

That's why I ripped into the H&M guy. And also, there is humour in someone who believes they look distinctive, but who is infact buying into a carefully coordinated maketing strategy, and H&M guy, and his BLB turdbike, sum this up succinctly. Perhaps I have a superiority complex, but I am always open to having the piss taken out of myself in equal measure.

When I wrote the post you replied to I hadn't realised exhibit A was modelling for H&M. I made the assumption he was prima facie authentic, only to have it confirmed after the fact that advertising being the disingenuous parasite we all know and love makes him as much a con-job as the next victim, so more fool me and him.

I wish my hair was that awesome :(

my hair is always that fabulous

^Mine isn't.

Lettie Marsh gets a fucking hall pass.

Woah. Great question. My money's on bloke with very enviable bone structure.

I think there is a slightly tribal element to my derision of his style, regardless of whether he is a real person in his own clothes or not. I find the style he represents mawkish, apologetic and over considered, without being in anyway striking or daring. There's something awful about brand new, carefully pressed clothes that attempt to look rustic or old fashioned. It is the equivalent of spending hours making your hair look like you just got out of bed. Hippies, teddyboys, mods, punks, new romantics, goths, glam rockers, whether you like the look or not, all had an identity, they had balls.

Gosh what a horrid shirt
