People like this confuse me: is this rockabilly, or pin-up, or goth-punk, or all of the above?
Most of them are on the chubby side, too.
tattoo mag chic...
like 40+ men dressed as gas station attendents with pompadours, it somehow makes more sense to me in southern california... there, you can buy an old dodge for like 2 or 3g's, there are still tons of bukowski-esque old man bars left, and that "dangerous poor white trash" vibe doesn't seem QUITE as forced as it does in other places (blame steinbeck's okies?)
but, yeah, the whole "suicide girls" transformation of the 50's bettie page look is weird, the look of the 50's filtered thru it's 80's version a la the Stray Cats and the Cramps (who added the punk/fetish aspect)...
that said, if i was a not so pretty big girl, perhaps i'd rock the bettie look, too... something about the bangs, plucked eyebrows and the red lipstick seems to draw attention away from homely features...
