Commander Salamander:
Again, while watching DSS for the first time in a long time, I noticed a lot of tiny details that I took for granted the first time around. For example: accessories. Any item interesting enough to fasten to yourself is jewlery. This is great! O-rings from engine parts, ripped up gloves that were on their way to the trash, metal pieces and plastic junk salvaged from literally everywhere. Hosiery was a real art this decade. Literally anything goes, and the wilder the better. Neon and fishnet and cotton, prefereably all at once with a pair of contrasting bobby socks. Add the matching outfit and you're in business. I remember an excellent suit (yes, I said suit) that I still wish I had bought - it was a deep fuschia 3 piece, each peice with a fine contrasting pattern in black. It made the ultimate in clash work somehow, and that concept alone was enough to make a fan out of mel My friends thought I was insane. They didn't get it (of course, I was still in the styx, what did I expect?). I hate peer pressure. Thank God I started ignoring it almost instantly.
Think about it, who doesn't love a bustier and heels? I mean, aside from the entire population of East TN where I grew up, and where they threw a parade (I'm sure) when I left.
Anyway, could you leave the house like that today? NO! But grab a needle and peirce or tattoo something and you're in. Sorry folks, where is the creativity in that? Yuck. Get a hobby.

On the other hand, this one was a bad idea then, and it still looks like Salvation Army blew up. Still, it's kicks the hell out of flannel.
Even with all my resources I coldn't find one of the famous sweaty Virgin Tour shots, with the clashing blue stretch lace skirt and green hose (or vice-versa).
