Here's another pictuer of my brother, the Gibb. Ok, ok, so the BeeGees references are getting old. But I like the vintage look. I think that J said something about opening himself up to ridicule by dressing the way he wants to, but I say, go for it bro. I think the world would be a much happier place if we all felt brave enough to pursue our own style.
I used to think that I had an interesting sense of style. I, however, am becoming increasingly conservative in my old age. Mind you, I don't mind the old age part, but I do mind the having to look more conservative or professional or something part. If I'm not careful, I'm mistaken for a student. That happens on the days when I wear something silly, like a Hello Kitty tee. Crap! I've turned a post about my brother into a post about me. But maybe that's OK, because maybe the whole style thing is like genetic. Maybe it runs in the family. I don't know though--our other brother would say that he doesn't share our sense of fashion. Which only goes to show that one man's trash is another man's treasure (inside joke!)

i wonder if as we get older our style retreats a little almost like girls who have to wear uniforms to school but rebel by wearing very hip socks. it's there, but underneath the adult suit--you know, like secret tattoos and hello kitty underwear. and when we're teenagers and grad students we still need to make that statement, we're still trying out who we are, who we want to be. and it's a kind of advertisement, a myspace page, that invites other people over. like hey, i like beegees too! not, hey, i'm president of the young republicans. but maybe that's what becomes so difficult as we get older--it become so much more complicated to connect with people. much more lonely, in some ways because hanging around vermont with pink hair and a hello kitty shirt doesn't quite work for the desire effect. i don't know. but either way, you're always the coolest person i know. but then again, i just like you for your hipster looks ;) that, and i have serious mary jane shoes envy.
