a loofah (red), a jug of Thunderbird....



and whee hee hee! (don't ask.  blame it on the Blair witch incident)

Robert looking like a wino? naaaaaaaah. looked at the photos of his tour so far, and yeah, so he's dressed in jeans & tees. maybe after 30+ years he's decided that he wants to be comfortable up there while he's performing. although it is definitely a departure for him fashion-wise, (AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! OMG!!! HOW DID I GET INTO A CONVERSATION ABOUT ROBERT PLANT AND FASHION???!!!!!) ahem. sorry 'bout that. to continue......if he were a 20- or 30-something rocker, no one would even notice that he was wearing jeans & t-shirts in-concert, cos they pretty much ALL do these days.

however, i cannot get gripey about people who don't care for Plant's jeans & tees, because i personally thought the fashion police should have taken Jimmy somewhere and beat him with a wet poodle till he got a decent hair cut & stopped wearing all-black during _that_ P&P tour.

BUT, wino? definitely not. used to live in the artists' quarter of KCMO, and had plenty 'o' winos (and hookers, dealers, pimps, and older-than-God-bluesmen) as neighbors. Robert looks waaaaaaaaaaay too spiffy to be a wino. reminds me of that sone "Clean, White and Neat" (or something like) he did........which is rather disappointing. me, i'm ALL about comfort---live in my sweats & tees as much as i can---but he just looks so _normal_. the Eastern-influenced clothes were cool, and made you think he dressed up "special", just for the fans at the concert hall. the jeans & tees (and Jimmy's all-black ensembles) are, i think, annoying because they ARE so "normal"/casual. again, i can understand the comfort biz, but even just a nice short-sleeved Nehru-type shirt would be more "concert-wear"......you'd still have the breathable cotton and the loose-fittingness, but would be more what people have come to expect from Plant in-concert, i think.

and i hope to heaven that i never, EVER feel the need to make a post about fashion again!!!! LOL
