pfft yeah "okay"..
I mean, I guess we cant all be glenn O'Brien. but Morrissey has some amazing pieces in his wardrobe and what's more is Morrissey, like all people with true style, dresses to suit himself and in so doing manages to pull off looks that others couldn't.
now since I've brought up glenn o brien, I happen to have a glenn O'Brien related story that I've been meaning to share for a while and it's a fascinating one so you'll want to hold onto your seat. okay, so, a few years ago, before I discovered Morrissey, I will admit that I was a bit unsure of my stance on wearing fur. well, I mean, I had always been against it, and as a rule I always do this thing when I see other people wearing fur where I look them up and down snidely and then roll my eyes or turn away with a sneer, because, frankly , people should feel BAD about wearing fur. even my amoral self knows that. but! as it happens, I've always been much more indulgent of myself than others and so have various ways of sweet talking myself into doing things that I am naturally inclined against doing. so there was this united bamboo fur hooded parka that I saw on one of those sites I go to with their racks of fashion which I cant afford, and i really wanted it. I mean it was really a fantastic parka, just look at it:

superb, right? well, in the end, my conscience won out, and I just couldn't buy it. but I had really made a grand effort to try to talk myself into it, believe me, which included doing various google image searches looking for those much coveted photos of it being worn on the street in order to see how it looks in everyday life. well there was one picture that kept popping up in my google image searches and it became rather an eye irritation because it was of an old man in what I was at that point considering MY parka. what's a silly old man doing in it! i thought. boy he looks silly in it! well, as it turns out, I have only recently discovered that this whole time that old man in my parka was none other than glenn O'Brien! of course at the time I had no idea who glenn O'Brien was, nor that he was not only
not a silly old man but was also a paragon of style and the coolest guy on the planet, as well. now that i know, i am of course quite happy in the knowledge that he was wearing my parka and that glenn O'Brien and I are on the same fashion wavelength-- even if he doesn't quite hold himself up to the same stringent moral standards as I do.
the end.
