Rock n Roll Style

^ Erzébet, thanks for the pic of my sweetheart Robert without (most of) his warpaint.

(BTW, has anybody ever noticed the alarming resemblance between Robert Smith in his early years, and Ben Affleck? I think this becomes undeniably apparent when you watch the video for "A Forest." I've seen Mr. Affleck's future, and it involves a lot of makeup, teased hair, and weight gain...)

aha, well i guess they have some similar features, but robert smith has a pretty english looking face don't you think? ben looks wholly american.

it's terrible of me to generalise like this, but i can sometimes tell if a band is british or american from their pictures

Brett Anderson, the lead singer of Suede used to be very glam.
His look was also considered as Heroin Chic.

New York Dolls

Sartorially, the Dolls looked like a Halloween party gang of transvestites who had broken into the Rolling Stones' and Marc Bolans' wardrobe trunks and made it even more androgynously exaggerated.
